Wax

Paste or Liquid? Which is would be better to follow up with after using Meguiars ScratchX? I have some Meguairs "gold class paste wax" right now but I do not know how well it works.

Doesn't matter - some guys prefer pastes, some guys prefer liquids. The Gold Class is ok (in my opinion), but if you are wanting to use Meguiar's, I would get some of the NXT 2.0 paste or liquid.

IMHO PASTE if possible

i like paste. it doesn't seperate and seem to go bad as fast as the liquid, and you get more applications. though it seems liquid is more convenient when applying by machine...

Thanks...I think I am going to go with this. I will have to make up my mind about paste or liquid.

I personally prefer liquid. Don't really know why, but I just don't like dealing with pastes. +1 to getting NXT (or Meg's #26) over Gold Class. Gold Class looks fine but doesn't really last and it will stain trim like crazy.

for me liquids are more user friendly but from paste waxes you get more applications.

Whats the best way to apply liquid?

I use a meguiars foam pad. (the small circle one)

Definitely liquid. I can wax a reg sized car with a liquid and my PC with blue LC pad in 10 min tops. I can also get a more even coverage vs a paste, and I use less than an ounce. I don't think a paste wax allows more applications than a properly applied liquid...i.e. thin and with a PC.

I like using both... I enjoy applying paste, but you can do liquid very quickly with a PC...

yes that exactly

You can get more applications from a paste wax via PC by 'buttering' it onto a pad with a knife (or similar implement). It lays it on super-thin and one application goes a long way.



Doing it this way should give you atleast double the applications compared to what you'd get from a liquid. If it's #16 you're using, a tin should last you 'til you have grand-children!

Paste lasts longer. Liquid goes on easier . I use liquid with a porter cable (orbital) on my 63 every month in the summer.

Actually, pastes and their liquid counterpart have the same durability.



It depends on the product you use as to which is easier to apply.



Apparently, NXT1 paste is easier to apply than the liquid. :nixweiss



Then you have S100/P21S paste wax which is about the easiest to apply LSP in the world.



I guess what's easy for one person is more difficult for another. Me...I love pastes...can't you tell?
