The def. of wax and sealant depends on who is using them.
Paint shops call anything that seals the paint and prevents curing a Sealant.
Most detailers use the term "sealant" to refer to a synthetic wax such as Klasse.
They use the term wax for stuff that contains carnauba or similar.
Sealants, as in synthetic waxes, will last longer than a wax, as in a carnauba wax. Sealants will sometimes give a candycoated look, where as a Wax such as carnauba will give a deep, wet look.
