Alright I've got a question for the W&W pro's out there.

Is there a noticeable difference between a liquid wax and a paste wax? I've used both in the past and to the touch it feels as if the paste protects better but is that true?

FWIW I just picked up some NXT 2.0 and I went with the paste.

TIA

I personally have never noticed a difference. I use mostly paste waxes, because that's the only way they come, but I have both kinds in my supplies. Liquid is easier to use if applying by machine.

NXT is a synthetic. Top it with a carnuba like S100.

I hope this answers your question

 

with nxt 2.0 i prefer to use a liquid since i tend to apply it with my pc.

 

i like paste better. meguire nxt was a pain to buff off

 

i think that the consensus i get from talking to detailers and from other boards is that the solids have more carnauba content...
in the extreme, carnauba is so solid you cant use it- so the next most pure carnauba would be a solid that you can just barely use--- and so on. the theory is that for it to be liquid, it has to have less carnauba to allow it to be in a liquid form.

carnauba 101 theory class is now concluded, and remember its all about what you like regardless of what theory might say !

 

Well described wanabe

 

So in the case of NXT, a synthetic, it shouldn't really matter if you go liquid or paste right?

 

Thanks for the responses.

 

in regards to nxt, the consensus is that the paste gets slightly more durability than the liquid. that said, i would probably base my decision on what application method you prefer.

 

I've found that if I use a liquid, I tend to go through the bottle quicker. I believe for two reasons.
1- applicator tend to soak up some of the liquid
2- tend to be more generous that I probably should with a liquid
For the last two years on my S I've only been using a paste and just find it more rewarding. I guess it's really a mental thing.
