Sorry if this was already asked, but I would like to know what the difference is between paint sealants and waxes. I originally thought that sealants were synthetic and waxes were natural, but I think that is wrong. I would also like to know what pros and cons there are to both and if there are any guidelines to follow to determine if a wax or sealant should be used. Thanks.
