Liquid or Paste Wax?

Re: Liquid or Paste Wax?

I've been a die hard paste fan for sometime however I just bought the NXT 2.0 liquid to give it a shot on my new DA. I'm looking forward to the results.

To be honest though I'll most likely go back to the paste because I feel more "in touch" or control with my car by applying wax by hand. Just my 2 cents.

Paste wax in my opinion is a little harder to work with, but I love the outcome of a good paste wax.

Re: Liquid or Paste Wax?

I like liquid the most as it's easier to apply on the MF towel or foam applicator.

No problem. Part of our job on MOL is to make sure that correct information is posted and sometimes Mike or myself have to do a slight adjustment to a post to make it either correct or more accurate.

I have, unfortunately, frozen even 64oz bottles of #20 and it is usually one of the products that handles the cold OK, far better the NXT etc...Believe me, it hurt getting 3 new 64oz bottles, all separated from being exposed to cold tempertures...

Re: Liquid or Paste Wax?

I stand corrected...

In my experience though, left a bottle of NXT outside when it got below freezing, although was next to house under overhang and next day was still below 32 yet the liquid was still "together" and not seperated and appeared to be same as I applied and removed.

Didnt ever claim to know it all....next time will say " in my experience "

I am afraid, that is incorrect, liquid waxes can freeze. All detailing supplies need to be stored in temperatures above freezing. If a liquid freezes, such as a wax, it will separate and the product must be discarded.

Re: Liquid or Paste Wax?

I voted for liquid, since Meg's #21 Synthetic sealant is my go to lsp.

Re: Liquid or Paste Wax?

someone mentioned cheap wax-
I bought a bottle of turtle wax for 50c, I'll use it on the wash machine or mower or shovel or bicycle etc....

I started with liquid but I think I like paste better.

Re: Liquid or Paste Wax?

It's a toss-up. Liquid is unbeatable when working with the PC because it allows you to achieve an even, thin coat of wax in a short amount of time and can produce eye-dazzling results. When waxing by hand, paste wins hands down. It may not be as quick as a liquid, but it's more controllable and your product lasts longer. Personally, I just love the feeling of applying a paste wax; it feels like you're actually working the product into the finish rather than simply spreading it across the surface. Also, from my experience, I seem to get better results and deeper gloss with a paste wax (just my opinion). With that said, I still use liquid 80% of the time simply because using liquids with the PC makes life so much easier.
