Im in the market for some new carnuba wax, but I only want liquid, not interested in paste. I plan on layering the wax (2-3 coats) on top of PWS/EXP. The car is carbon grey pearl, basically a metallic charcoal color.

So far Ive found:
Surf City Garage Barrier Reef
Meguiars Gold Class Car Wax Liquid
Meguiars Mirror Glaze #26 Hi-Tech Liquid Car Wax
Mothers California Gold Pure Carnauba Car Wax
Pinnacle Liquid Souveran Wax

Currently Im leaning towards the Pinnacle Liquid Souveran but Im not sure if its worth the money.

Anybody have any other reccomendations?

Since you aren't getting many takers, I guess I'll throw in what little I can offer.
Of those your list, I have used:

Meguiars Gold Class Car Wax Liquid
Decent look, questionable durability, but it was good for my 4 to 6 week needs.
It is a cleaner wax so it wouldn't be my choice for layering.

Meguiars Mirror Glaze #26 Hi-Tech Liquid Car Wax
Decent look. Again, durability was adequate for my use. No cleaners.

Mothers California Gold Pure Carnauba Car Wax
Almost identical results to the #26 for me.

Given what I have read about the liquid Souveran, I think I would probably try it for your use.
As far as the cost, you evidently have the funds to pay for it and the way I look at it, it's only about $20 more than some of the others. :D

I don't know anything about the Surf City line.

I also don't know just how much I buy into the layering thing, either.
A couple of coats to be sure of full coverage and then another coat every 4 to 6 weeks works for me.

That's a matter of opinion, but yeah, probably somewhere between 10 and 50. :D
Our problem with products is not being limited in choices.
It's knowing what to choose. :dunno:

Yeah, I just listed the liquid carnubas that are available from autogeek since I usually order my detailing products from them.

But Im also interested in any other liquid carnubas that I didnt list.
 
Just curious as to why you're against paste for topping? Some of the better looking carnaubas are paste, and they are just as easy (if not easier) to use than liquid.

Also, you might want to look into Collinite 845. I am just getting familiarized with it, but like it very well so far.

I just prefer working with liquid wax.

Ive been using Nattys blue for the past 3 years or so but Im almost to the bottom of the container. I think I left it out in the garage when the temps were too cold because the waxes consistency is sort of flaky, that would be the best way I could describe it.

I just did a search on the 845, sounds promising. Although it seems to be popular because of its durability which I like but looks and slickness are my biggest concern since my car is garage kept and hardly driven anyways.
 
Alright Ive narrowed down my choices to Pinnacle Liquid Souveran, Collinite 845, or Clearkote CMW.

From what Ive read Pinnacle and Clearkote are known for thier "wet" look, which would mute the metallic in my paint less?
 
From what I found in my searches Clearkote will give my paint a wet dark look.

For those of you who have used 845, in your opinion what kind of look does the 845 give your paint?

Where is a good place to buy this wax?

You can get it online (obviously) such as at Autogeek (site sponsor) or at some autoparts stores like Autozone. You will likely need to look in the "Marine" section. Usually at the back of the store, maybe a four foot section if that in some stores not near a lake or such.
 
If it took 3 years to use up a container of NATTYS BLUE, Id buy that again. Its easy to apply, just like te other 2 Nattys are. Ive gone more to the sealants, but use Nattys Red and swpray and wipe over that. havnt done the spray and gloss following the sealant or NATTYS. RANDAL
 
the BEST combo on my matalic grey is PwC blue and Natty's blue.... also

you can remelt that stuff down slowly in a mirco wave on 50% a few min at a time...
