I'm getting lazy in my old age and looking for a good LIQUID wax to use on my car (silver) to be applied with my PC - any suggestions?

For anythning Liquid i recommend Four Star UPP. If you are feeling really lazy and want excellent swirl hiding abilities without polishing forever try Four Star 4-54 Sealant.
 
Old age? :lol I checked your profile mister!



I second what Bob said the 4-54 Sealant does work excellent...otherwise another option would be M21.
 
Much as I like UPP, I don't find it that easy to do by PC, too easy to put it on too thick, making for tough removal.



Collinite 845 comes to mind, also the never-mentioned Malm's wax. Neither stain trim and both are very forgiving of less-than-perfect application technique. You can just on/off with the PC (off using MF bonnets) with virtually no effort as long as the surface has been decently prepped. I've used both on silver and they looked fine. They don't stain trim either.
 
How about 1Z Glanz Wax? Goes on really easily with a PC, looks great (although never used it on silver, myself), beads water like there's no tomorrow, and lasts quite a long time, in my experience (although probably not as long as the collinite, but I've never used 845, either). One note: application is a bit tricky until you get used to it, because it's very, very watery. You have to be careful not to use too much.
 
M21 is super easy to apply via PC and really easy to remove. It also really makes metallics pop nice and is not going to break the bank.

I figured asonyexec was after something with virtually no learning curve, a product you don't have to "master". Sometimes it *is* nice to be able to just not work at this stuff, IMO there's a place for idiot-proof products even if we're not idiots ;)

Fair point. :)



Another I could recommend might be Liquid Souveran. Incredibly easy to use, looks great (gives a warm glow and darkens the paint a little). It's main drawback is that it's durability is not very good at all. It's not one of my favorite products (because of the durability), but for ease of use and looks, it's top notch, IMO.



Edit: of course, since you mention you're getting lazy, you're probably not looking for something with sketchy durability, so I retract the suggestion. hey, i tried. :)
 
Carnauba Moose Wax is a nice choice for a liquid to apply via PC. Durability isn't bad and looks fairly wet on Silver. The regular Moose Wax might also be worth a look for an all-in-one.

So I assume it would be similar to using the Klasse twins in that a LITTLE goes a very long way.
 
The Poorboys World sealants (EX and EX-P) are EASY as heck to use. Adam's butter wax is also very very easy to apply and remove.

To correct an incorrect assumption, I don't mind having to master a product, I have mastered a few........my criteria again is LIQUID, WAX, TO BE USED WITH A PC (or rotary i have both although i think using a rotary would be like using a backhoe to plant a rose bush).

OK, I figured that products that need mastering (e.g., KSG) aren't always the easiest to use as one still has to (properly) employ the technique that required said mastery. IMO products that can be used with no regard for technique aren't any less impressive for that characteristic and are the easiest to use. We might just be on different wavelengths..

Yup, that is a true statement, and like KSG, GW can be a royal pain to remove if you use to much. But using a PC, I find it's pretty easy to spread a very thin layer out (once you get the hang of it). And it buffs off very easily if you go thin enough.



My tips if you decide to try out GW. Do NOT attempt to pour a little on the PC pad, as you'll pour out far too much. I usually place the PC pad right on top of the containter, flip it upside down, and then right-side back up. Apply 1 or 2 dots like that to the PC pad... each time you feel a need to add more, don't add more than 1 new dot. Another way to go (which Accumulator told me about a while ago) is to just place the pad on top of the open container, and shake it once up and down... this will also put 1 small dot on the pad.



1Z GW is probably my favorite liquid product, although I haven't been using it much lately as I've been experimenting... Hope this is helpful.
 
I'm using the Collinite #845 as we speak on my neighbors white F-150. It seems to need to be worked into the paint a bit, so my arm would be very tired if I didn't have a PC. Let it sit a minute then wipes right off, not super easy but easy.
 
Besides Colinite 845 and Poorboys products ,other liquid waxes are Mothers FX and Reflection, Eagle One Nano,Turtle Wax Platinum, and Dura Gloss #105
