Default Quick Meguiars Tech Wax Question

Hey all,

I want to buy some Meguiars NXT tech wax,

However...

Ive used the liquid version as a tester and am very impressed with it.

It is available in a bottle and as a paste in a tin.

Which is better and why?

No "buy Swissol" replys please,

I use the stuff in the spray bottle, mainly because I was bought it for christams Its brilliant stuff to put on and take off.

From previous experience with other stuff, the same theory can probably apply, that with the paste you 'may' (this is only IMO) get a greater density or amount onto the car in one go using the paste, i.e it is of a thicker consistency, so a deeper layer/ more protection in one hit as a thicker coat will be applied, with the spray on stuff the actual wax/ active agent is suspended in a liquid so a a little will go a lot further, but again 'may' not have the same level of proetcetion so need more coats. Again I think this comes down to personal prefference i think, how you just like to apply your product, I know from past experience that a tin of hard wax as opposed to a liquid takes ten times more elbow grease to apply and rub off, but does it give better results , probaly not, but you may get a thicker wax coat on one hit, where a liquid , yu may have to apply 2 or 3 coats to get same protection.

Any thoughts or am i talking

This what their product book/ catalogue says

"What's the difference between a liquid and paste wax"

the formulations are the same. Whether you decied to go for paste or liquid is personal preference and either will give same results.


Would be interesting indeed to hear from somebody that uses the paste, again IMO the paste may give a better/ deeper layer in one hit than the liquid, but who knows

swissol is good if you get some as a tester without having to pay for it, but for everyday people who use a shed load of wax meguiars is tops and dust free, use the clay bar first with the detailer, quality...

when you win the lottery buy swissol....
