    For those waxes that come in both a liquid and paste form, which one is better? Looking in particular at Mothers California Gold™ Natural Formula Pure Carnauba Wax - Available in Liquid or Paste. Carnauba based car wax from Mothers california gold line of

    If I'm using a DA should I go for the liquid? Or give a shot at the paste and a DA for the first time.

    I would go for the paste - then again, I'm biased for paste waxes, as the small collection I've built up would attest to

    Its all on personal preferance. Ive heard rumors that paste wax doesnt get along with trim as well as liquid, but I havent found too many problems. personally, i'm a fan of paste waxes

    As long as the paste wax is a pure finishing wax (no cleaners), there should be little conflict with trim. I have spray, liquid and paste wax; based on my preference and time of year I have all options covered.

    I don't really know why, but I've always liked paste wax better. I think I have a little more control on the amount that gets on the pad. But DP Poliseal is a liquid, and I like it.

    Paste wax in general has more carnuba in it, if its a carnuba wax. I always think you get a better result with the paste version, like Liquid Souverän vrs Souverän. But if it's a polymer or hybrid product, it usually only comes in one form or the other.

    I think paste wax gives additional depth so I'll go with paste wax applied with my dual action polisher....

    Btw, what colour CCS pad would you use to apply paste wax? There are so many different ones! Blue? Red?
