While your traditional wax is applied Mr. Myagi style over 30 minutes to an hour, a Ceramic Sealant is applied around an entire car with one rag and 10 minutes of your time! The surface bonding of a Ceramic Sealant is semi-permanent to the top layer of your clear coat creating a covalent bond to the surface.
