paste or liquid wax?
wich is better?
pros and cons?.....thanks for the help

I've used turtle wax (paste) on my Shadow (93) and Accord (02) and it works great on them. I use the high end stuff like Zanio (liquid) on the two VR4s and that stuff is awsome! However, it does cost a lot more then the off the shelf stuff.

Normally speaking, longevity is at a premium with liquids....Paste waxes offer substantial durability when compared to liquids. Polymers is a whole different story....

Liquid:
Can be applied by hand or R/O buffer
Easy to work with

Paste:
Must be applied by hand
harder to work with

Both types have their places, its more of a personal pref. than anything. Since even the best waxes only last 2-3months max under normal condition.

I prefer using long term paint selant with a multi-step process for best results. Thats if the customer will fork over the extra $$$ instead of the lame wash/wax.

i've used paste and i'll never used it again took me 3 freaking hours to take it off using an orbital buffer.....maybe it protects better but its way too much work:frown:

Apply thin coats
buff lightly while wet
then remove
