Protect the paint with wax or sealant

Wax and sealant both put a protective layer on top of your clear coat. Wax brings a warm gloss. Sealant is synthetic and tends to last longer. Either one helps water bead off and makes the car easier to wash.

We apply it by hand, panel by panel. Not sure which to choose? Tell us how you drive and park, and we will recommend one.

How We Do It

We follow the same sequence on every Hand Wax or Sealant at our Arlington shop, because skipped prep shows in the finish.

01

Clean surface

Wax only goes on clean, dry paint.

02

Hand apply

A thin, even coat goes on by hand.

03

Buff

Each panel is buffed with clean microfiber.

04

Final inspection and pickup

We check the work under good light, then walk the car with you at pickup.

Hand Wax or Sealant Questions

What Arlington drivers ask us most.

Wax or sealant, which is better?

Wax gives a warm gloss, while sealant usually lasts longer. For a car parked outside, sealant is often the better pick.

How often should I wax my car?

A few times a year is a good rhythm, with one coat before winter.

How much does it cost?

$50 to $80.
