Liquid Wax VS. Paste Wax
I hear people all the time saying why use paste wax when you can apply liquid wax so much easier? Can any1 answer why they use paste wax over liquid wax?

I don't see any difference in the two except the liquid is much easier to apply.
Plus a bottle last me much longer than using a paste.

Re: Liquid Wax VS. Paste Wax
I have tons of products but only one paste wax and that's just to play with it. Im not sure on spending all kinds of money on this stuff!

Re: Liquid Wax VS. Paste Wax
It really comes down to personal preference.
Some like the "old school" style of using and applying a paste wax. Some like to use a liquid because it spreads easier for them, or they like to apply with a DA. (You can use a DA with a paste wax as well but not quite as easy.) Also some companies only make one type or another. If you want to use Auto Finesse waxes you will have to use a paste as they don't make a liquid version of their waxes.

Is Zymol really that good?

Re: Liquid Wax VS. Paste Wax
Generally speaking, paste is a better value.
The average user (which likely excludes many here), gets 3 applications out of a 16 oz bottle of wax. Assuming it costs $10, that's $3.33 for materials.
With a can of hard cake paste like we offer, though, it's more like 20 applications. Assuming it's $15 for that 11 oz can, that's $0.75 per application.
Also, with the average consumer there's less chance of applying a paste too heavy, like liquids usually are. That saves product and makes removal easier.
I don't see a difference between hand application and removal of liquid versus paste. They both go on, and come off the same, assuming you apply the proper amount.

Only 3 applications out of a 16 oz bottle of wax??? I would guess most of use can get at least 10-12 if not more. I bet some of use could get even more than 16 if we tried.

Re: Liquid Wax VS. Paste Wax
I haven't used a wax in a long time, but when I did it was from a can.
Like Forrest metioned, I found the paste much easier to apply by hand. Now that I'm using a DA polisher, I don't know if I'd go back to paste (if I returned to waxes) because of the difficulty in getting the product on the pad.

Especially by machine.

What size pads are you using? I find 3" pads make it much easier to use paste waxes, not only getting it out of the jar but I don't have to change pads mid waxing to switch backing plates and such.
