Waxing and coating are two common choices for car maintenance. Although they can all play a role in protecting car paint, they have certain differences from different perspectives.
Firstly, the main component of waxing is petroleum substances, such as high molecular weight components such as polyethylene solution, which belong to oxides; The main components of the coating are inorganic silicon or organic matter. Therefore, waxing will oxidize within about one or two months and requires re waxing, while coating is less prone to oxidation and can be maintained for a longer period of time, usually up to six months or even longer.
Secondly, considering the protective performance, the coating performs better in protecting the car body. The surface of the coating can form an inorganic glass layer, whereas the hardness of car wax is lower. This allows the coating to better protect the car paint, avoid scratches and damage, and also make the car paint more shiny and dazzling.
In addition, price is also a factor to consider when choosing waxing or coating. Relatively speaking, waxing prices are more affordable and can even be operated independently. The price of coating is relatively high, and if the owner's budget is limited, waxing may be a more economical option.
In summary, there are certain differences between car waxing and coating in terms of composition, protective performance, price, and operating methods. But both methods have their own advantages. Therefore, based on personal needs and budget considerations, choosing the appropriate car maintenance method is the most important.
