i have been waxing with Gold Class Liquid and I was windering if there was a difference between liquids and pastes ie. prep time, ease of use, etc. Thanks!

From what I know liquids are a lot easier to apply than paste but the paste has a slight better outcome -
If you're doing a hand application, a paste wax goes on thinner from what I've heard.
But you have to be careful about not getting grit into the can, or you'll have problems.r. b.Comment

Anyway, I prefer a paste if available and if working by hand. When using GC wax, I use the paste because it is easier to apply thin coats making removal much easier. Other then that, I don't believe that there is any noticeable difference in durability, the look, or protection. Just my .02. Some people still believe that a paste is harder to apply and remove and will last longer than a liquid, but not me.BamaComment

Re: Paste vs. Liquid
In the Meguiar's line, the only difference in personal preference. Liquids are a lot easier to apply by machine as you can pour some right onto the pad whereas paste waxes you have to generally scoop some out and spread it onto your pad.Originally posted by caporajm

With liquids, because you're always pouring product out of the bottle it's pretty hard to get any contaminants into the bottle, with a paste, because you continually re-introduce your wax pad into the can you have to be watchful that you don't pick up any dirt particles and deposit them into your can of wax. Not a big deal, just keep a look-out.
Paste waxes tend to offer more gliding action upon application, liquid waxes tend to remove a tad easier.
With either form, it's important to apply a thin coat, allow enough time for it to fully dry and then use a clean, soft towel like a microfiber 100% cotton towel to remove.Comment
