Liquid vs Paste Wax - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

The Dark Knight · 10-29-2009, 03:45 PM

I got a question...

I've been using Liquid wax my whole life...and I've been happy with the results. At the moment...I use Meguiar's Tech Wax 2.0 in liquid form.

But at a recent meet I went to...I was amazed at the shine of IOM Camaro...I asked the owner what type of wax he used...he said Paste.

So my question is...

What is better?

Paste or Liquid?

I switched from paste to liquid wax years ago...and will never go back.

Always use mequiar's gold class liquid. looks great easy to use.

I voted liquid, but technically the Zaino product I'm using is a polymer, not a wax. It is liquid however...

Used to use Mother's Wax religiously on everything (paste Carnuba wax)! Ever since this forum and my experience with Zaino, Mother's is now only for the motorcycle!

Yes, this is true. carnauba vs carnauba, paste will be more durable

Btw, wheres the "Both" option for the poll

To answer your question though, the more "boutique" waxes are typically in paste form. Whether thats a way to measure "better" or not, thats up for debate. But in general, I personally prefer paste waxes and w/ sealants, they're liquid.
