Meguiars Ultimate Paste Wax

[Shawn T.]

Nice review Andy!

I told you you would like it! It has fantastic durability also!

I just finished doing my new Subaru Legacy today (white pearl paint) with UW liquid, and it looks great. I guess now I'm going to have to get some paste, to judge for myself the difference. Is there a view on longevity of the two. I assume the paste is longer-lasting, but sometimes I just don't know...

Thanks.

There shouldn't be any difference between the two with regards to longevity. We have some pretty unique chemistry in Ultimate Wax and that's a large part of why the paste and liquid vary like they do here; the ingredients that make a paste a paste do change things enough that you'll notice it when applying or removing the two products, but that's about it.

gonna have to try the UPW pretty soon.

Will the paste wax version stain trim (white residue), while the liquid vesion will not? I have read on the web that this is the case, however, the product description on Meguiar's website states in the description for both the liquid and the paste version that it "...won't leave a white residue on trim & plastic."

The paste version can stain trim, yes. It's really the ingredients that make it a paste that are to blame. Still, if you're paying attention when applying and you get a bit on a trim piece, wiping it off immediately should resolve any problems.
