Hi guys, i would like to get some opinion in making the right choice and get some key differences between the two. I just got a new car and im doing some research on coating. As i can see now that you need to fork out extra to do coatings.

i also did some readings on wax. and found out it's also to protect your paint, uv and etc. So far from what is see is that coating lasts longer than wax and both offer protection on car paint. wax need to be done once 3-4 months. Coating would last longer depending on the type and the shop/brand.

A key situation of mine is my house has a porch and has no roof. so on the weekends, its gonna be exposed to sunlight. weekdays would be ok coz im parking my card in a carpark at the office. That is why im considering either coating or wax.

So, should i go for coating for protection or i can do it properly by waxing the car once 3-4months? Of course i read those coating sites claiming that wax is old and can even damage your paint blablabla..but i think this is all their marketing strategy. i have the budget, but i dont want to spend it wrongly. So any car care enthusiast here could help me out in giving some explanations or suggestions?

I appreciate it. Thanks
