If you have used Liquid Souveran and 1ZGW can you compare and contrast them with #26 Liquid?
I haven't used #26, so I can't speak to that, but I have used both LS and GW, so I can compare them to each other.
Liquid Souveran: Goes on and comes off very easily. Darkens up the paint noticeably (at least on my dark blue metallic, not sure what it would do on light colors such as white, for example). Gives the paint a warmer look than the GW does.
Glanz Wax: Goes on easily, but only comes off easily if you put *thin* coats on. It can be difficult to remove if you put it on too thickly, which is easy to do the first time since it's so thin and watery. Gives a more reflective shine, a little more like a sealant look, in my opinion. Has a *very* high solvent content. Because of this, I wouldn't think it's a good choice for topping a sealant. I think the LS is less likely to strip any of your sealant. Lasts significantly longer than LS (based on water beading ability only).
I like the LS, but I don't use it very often. I do use GW pretty regularly, it's become one of my favorite products.
Note: Just due to the higher solvent contents in liquid waxes, they usually don't make as good toppers as paste wax does (the liquid waxes tend to remove too much of the sealant layer). From what I've read here, LS seems to be one of the best liquid waxes from that respect, it tends to be very gentle. However, I can't say that I've used it enough to say that from my own personal experience. I usually top with #16 these days.
Just my $.02,
John
