Ceramic Coating vs Wax: Which is Better for Florida Heat?

Why Traditional Wax Fails in Florida Summers

Carnauba wax melts at around 180°F, but on a hot black hood in Gainesville, surface temperatures can easily reach 190°F. Once the wax breaks down, your paint is vulnerable to UV fading and chemical stains.

The Ceramic Coating Advantage

Nano ceramic coatings form a semi-permanent chemical bond with your clear coat. It resists heat up to 1000°F, repels rain automatically, and makes washing your car 10x faster.
