Protective paint coatings (like our opti-coat application) last longer and protect better than both car waxes and synthetic paint sealants. They also have hydrophobic qualities that assist in repelling water and dust. Paint coatings take more expertise to apply and the paint surface must be properly prepared for application of a paint coating before the protective layers can be applied. Paint Coatings often last the life of the vehicle making it so you never have to wax the vehicle again.
