Should I purchase liquid wax over a good carnauba wax for ease of use?

Hey guys, I am planning on giving my Audi A5 a good wax this coming weekend and want to make sure that I use the right products. I have ordered several things from Autogeek and was more than happy with their service so I will be purchasing something from them.



Last time I used the Autoglym wax and got average results. The time before that I had used the cheap Griot wax stick and rubbed the stick on my PC and used my PC to apply the wax. I remember how MUCH easier it was for me to wax the vehicle using my PC to apply it.



Since it was so much easier for me to use the PC to apply the wax I am considering ordering a liquid wax from Autogeek such as the Pinnacle Liquid Souverän Wax so I could easily use the PC to apply it. Would a true carnauba wax be far superior than liquid wax? Or would I get just as good results from using the liquid wax? Any suggestions?



I was just a bit disappointed after I used the Autoglym. I had put two layers of the Autoglym and expected a much deeper shine.



Thanks for the help!!

I'd get something else than the PS liquid. It will look good until the first rain. Deep shine comes from a well polished surface.
 
Get some Optimum GPS. That stuff is amazing. You can polish, glaze (gloss enhancing, not hiding glaze) and seal your car all at the same time and have long lasting protection. I use it for all my one-steps now and absolutely love it. It's not the slickest, but leaves a nice deep shine and beads like crazy. I have it on the hood of my truck, half done with opti-coat and half with GPS and a month later the beading is identical to the opti-coat side.
 
Optimum (spray) Car Wax leaves a very carnuba-like finish. It's wipe on, wipe off like a detail spray. I liked mine so much that I bought a gallon of it.
 
Liquid waxes are easier to apply, and generally easier to remove, but I've found that a true paste wax tends to last longer. If I'm going with a liquid form LSP, it's going to be a sealant and topped with a paste wax, topped with a spray wax.
 
After getting the new version of Opti-Seal (never tried the old version) my search for the ultimate LSP is over! Sooo easy, so very wet looking, trim friendly, and very economical (less than a buck to do a whole car). I refused to spend almost $4.00/ounce, but when the opportunity came along to snag a bottle for 18 bucks, I jumped at it and am so glad I did. The next LSP I buy will be Opti-Seal version 3 (if there ever is a V3).
