Liquid or Paste Wax?

[Snowman]

Just thought i would take a little poll here and see what everyone likes best and why. When it comes to wax do you like to use the paste products or the liquid products??

I myself have used both and have grown very fond of the liquid waxes because of their ease of use and being able to get a decent amount on your applicator with little effort. Now if there is an advandtage on using one over the other it would be nice to hear so because that might persuade me to change...LOL

i prefer paste wax over liquid. you can control how much you use, and it seems to last longer.

I have a new found liking for Paste Wax!

paste for hand application.... liquid for w/ PC

paste hands down. Paste is easier to control and lasts much longer than a paste. You can still use paste with a buffer. Some jars allow you to just pop the wax out, rub a little on the pad and your good to go, other than cannot be removed a butter knife can come in handy.

I agree. Scottwax uses NXT Paste with the G100. His pictures and Tim's, made me a believer. I am a huge fan of NXT Paste. It has a deeper shine and lasts longer than the liquid. The liquid is good but the paste is better.

I prefer liquid by a long shot. For me, it's easier to control and easier to get a super thin coat. And I don't like accidentally transferring contaminants into the wax can with a dirty pad. And it takes less elbow grease, my elbows are just about out of grease.

I have noticed no differences in appearance nor in durability. The end results for me are the same.

OK, the poll says 4 and 4 right now, but there are FIVE responses preferring paste, and TWO preferring liquid. So, one paste guy didn't vote, and two liquid guys didn't give a reason?

I haven't tried Nxt Paste, but I have used other paste waxes.

I have used Nxt Liquid and other Liquid waxes too.

I prefer liquid, and my favorite liquid is Nxt.

Liquid just because its what I use. Will try paste when my two bottles of gold class run out.

I like liquid better

I detail for a living and we use a liquid, #21.

I did just buy a can of gold class paste wax to do up my "babies" with though.

I have been using pastes up until recently. My DA came a couple of weeks ago and I have been using liquid for that. I still use the paste to get into the tight spaces though.

I do not like applying liquids by hand. Some of the waxes when first applied are kind of syrupy and are hard to smooth out. Work fine once you get it smoothed out but the Pastes are easy from start to stop.

Whether I use a paste or liquid really depends on two things: Time and Size of vehicle.

For SUV's, some larger cars and Trucks, nothing is quicker than a liquid via PC and finishing pad. Although, on my SUV, I'll often use a paste if time allows.

For medium to small cars, I will use a PC and liquid wax only if I'm under a time constraint. If I'm not, I'll use a paste, especially on show cars.

The one thing I see that liquid has over paste IMHO is that the liquid does not seem to be as difficult to remove from cracks and crevices..not sure if you know what I mean but for me, liquid just goes on easier and wipes off easier...I use the G-100 for both application and removal....

I have been using liquid by hand for years and loving the results. (or so I thought)

However since I’ve been using a PC for the past 8 months, I now can wax and shine two cars in the time I previously spent on one, with a better shine than I ever got by hand.

Liquid and a PC is for me!!
