What is Paint Sealant?

Typical durability is several months, depending on the product. It gives a slick, glossy finish. It is applied by hand or machine on clean paint. A wax can be applied over a sealant to add warmth to the shine.

How it works

Synthetic polymers form a durable layer that repels water and dirt.

Why it matters for your car

Paint must be clean and decontaminated before application. Follow the curing time before exposing the car to rain.
