Ceramic Pro Paint Protection vs. Traditional Wax vs. Sealants

Ceramic Pro vs. Traditional Wax vs. Sealants

Over the years, Capitol Shine has grown from a detailer into a full-on provider of not only high-end, show-car-worthy detailing and cleaning, but also of paint protection formulas (Ceramic Pro, Opti Coat Pro), paint protection film (Xpel) and paint correction - fixing scratches and swirls.Just as we have evolved, so has the detailing and paint protection industry and products. While traditional wax used to be the go-to product for protection, sealants have replaced wax and can provide better protection as well as:

  • Contains a bonding agent that maximizes the longevity and durability of the polymers
  • Forms a tough polymer coating with true staying power
  • Leaves an even better gloss than traditional wax

Capitol Shine offers sealant in our Wash + Sealant package.

We can also go beyond sealants with Ceramic Pro, the ultimate paint protection. Capitol Shine is the original provider of Ceramic Pro in the metro DC area.Ceramic Pro is a permanent nanoceramic protective coating, not a traditional wax or sealant. It protects against minor scratches, graffiti, dirt, aging, premature oxidation, weathering, road salt, rock chips, bugs, bird droppings and even acid rain. It offers excellent scratch, thermal (1382 degrees), UV, oxidation, corrosion and chemical resistance.

So how does Ceramic Pro compare with wax and sealant?capitol shine ceramic_pro_wax_comparison

Yes! UV protection, durability, gloss and resistance against oxidation, corrosion, stains and scratches are all vastly improved with Ceramic Pro as it actually BONDS with the paint!

What Does It Mean to "Bond" With Paint? 

Here you can see a visual of how Ceramic Pro bonds with the car and how more layers means more protection:
