Best Paste Wax

[86geek]

Opti Coat then no need to use paste wax.
I just use Optimum spray wax and instant detailer to maintain slick, shine and gloss.

Really liking Smartwax these days. Extremely easy to wax off, and seems to last a long time.

I want to try Pinnacle Souveran and Wolfgang Fuzion. Both pretty expensive.

Get the liquid souveran and machine-apply. It gets you 90% of the benefit of paste souveran for much less money.

I thought you were supposed to apply wax in a circular motion. What's your recommendation and technique, jawn?

Fore/aft on top surfaces, up down on vertical surfaces, is what I have always been told.

No wax for me, I use Zaino.

Turtle wax is stinky and greasy...nasty greasy.

I prefer Mothers, Meguiars or chemical guys. They have fun and great waxes! Some can even be used while car is wet!

Mothers: 7/10
Turtle: 6/10
Meguiars: 8/10
Chemical guys: 8/10

Meguiars is best when you let it sit in sun so it thaws/melts a tad.

Silly you lol

It's just a generally tough paste to work with! If I let the sun warm it up a bit, it becomes softer and easier to apply. It does a fabulous job though.


Turtle is easier to use. Always soft in my experience but the smell and greasiness reminds me of fat camp races for twinkies.

Any difference in durability between the liquid and paste?

My favorite is Harly Wax. It is a carnauba wax with no cleaners or abrasives. I've been using it for the last 30+ years. Goes on easy and comes off easy even if you leave it on too long. And it has a pleasant lemony smell. The last time I bought a couple cans a few years ago, it was available only online. You have me curious now; I think I will order a couple more cans...

Chemical Guys XXX, great wax

[DJCarbine]

Right now depending on the car its Auto Finesse Illusion, or Meguiars Ultimate paste wax. The auto finesse is nice, but $$$. I don't think I could convince myself to buy it again, but so far a little goes a LONG way

honestly i'm not sure, as i've never ponied up the money for the paste souveran. I've used dodo juice's supernatural, though, and the liquid souveran lasts about as long as the supernatural.
