Both provide the something, a protection from scratches and from the sun. However they both provide different types of protection for different lengths of time. So I have place a Pro and Cons list of both.

Sealant & Wax, What to know:

• Sealant last up to 1 year or longer if you apply wax on top.
• Wax last about 3 to 6 months.
• You can not place sealant on top of wax, but you can place wax on top of sealant extending the life of the sealant.
• Sealant is harder than wax.
• Wax is thicker than Sealant Giving you deeper shine than sealant.
• Almost all new cars coming off the lot will have a factory sealant on it, So protect it with some wax!
• Wax bead water better than sealant and absorb the acid content in rain.
• Wax can hide minor swirls in paint
• Sealant will preserve the paint better than wax
