What is best, liquid or paste wax?
September 3rd, 2006 by Danny the web stig
Best for ease of use would be liquid waxes. They are far easier to apply, while wax paste usually needs to be applied and removed one panel at a time.
So what is the real difference? This is a question I have seen asked on many occasions of wax manufacturers. The answer is always the same, the only difference is the water content, there is no real difference in performance. But waxes that promise high quality and high Carnauba content tend to come as a paste as it gives the customer the feeling that they are getting more for their money. Some waxes come in a form which is even more sold than a paste, at least by reconing, and have the consistancy of shoe polish… these do seem to have a better shine than most, and I have never had any real problem applying them when following the instructions, in fact as there is no dust, they can often be easier.
I’m sure that there are experts out there with an opossing view on the subject, but as yet I haven’t heard it. If anybody who feels they are qualified to offer an opinion either way, please comment.
