souveran paste wax or liquid?

[direkt]

I have a black car and plan on using souveran as my last step but I was curious if I should use the paste wax or the liquid. Obviously there is a big price difference ...

Hello and welcome to DC! I've not had the pleasure of using Souveran paste but I have used Liquid Souveran and IMO you're better off putting that money toward the Souveran paste. Liquid Souveran just wasn't anything special. In fact, for what you pay for a bottle of Liquid Souveran you can get a gallon of Cherry Wet Wax which I think is actually better.

Sounds like you're planning on using Souveran as a topper over something else? Give P21s a try or Trade Secret, both of which you can get from Dwayne here at the online store.

Skip both and buy P21S .... there is definitely not a $40 - 50 difference in appearance to justify spending the extra cash. P21S is the best carnauba wax for the money, period!

I have Souvran Paste, and it is my favorite Wax. It also the costliest. If I went the Wax route (Not UPP) I would use Souvran or S100, which I like alot and is cheaper...Blitz is good also..for the price..

Souvran looks fantastic on darker cars...just a fantastic wax...and of course the vehicle must be cleaned properly before applying..

direkt,

Maybe it's just me, but I've found that paste waxes (excluding synthetics) always seem to look better, and last longer than liquids........... however, they don't always go on, and off as easy as liquid.

Good luck with whatever you decide (but decide on the paste)!

Usually liquid wax is machine application oriented. It doesn't lasts as long as paste, though.

Im gonna use EX and then put the souverans over it, still paste?

 

[jgv]

Stick with the EX. 3 coats at least or best. But, if you must layer carnauba over it, yes, paste. You'll be disappointed with the gains, though.

Ok, is there anything that would give me gains when going over the EX? Also the EX coats should be applied 24 hours apart so I would imagine my car should sit in the garage during that time frame?
