Is Waxing Necessary?


Recommended Posts

Curious on thoughts on waxing and if in the modern day clear coats if wax is still necessary? Thinking of getting a coat on before winter but wondering if there's a real need to for paint / clear coat protection?

Sealants and ceramic coatings are the way to go

I have been curious about having this done/doing it myself. I am pretty well versed in waxing, washing, vehicle paint care but can you provide some insight to the ceramic coating?

The rain washes my truck. There will be no waxing.

 

I've never waxed a truck or any other vehicle I've owned in my entire life.

its a SUPER thin layer of silica (glass) that protects the paint and resists water. It lasts up to and over 2 years I’m some cases. It is a bit of a process though. YouTube ceramic coating.

“Wax” does not protect paint. It enhances shine. It also doesn’t keep your truck cleaner because the carnuba in wax is actually somewhat “sticky” so dust will stick more easily. There’s a lot of misconceptions out there. Get a coating or sealant.
