Liquid vs Paste
Sorry if this is someone where else in this section... I didnt see it with a quick look.
But im wondering how the liquid souveran wax compares to the paste in terms of shine...dont really care about protection since I dont mind waxing
I just cant justify spending $95 right now on a wax being a college student with a car I have to give back in 3 years...
Im will be applying Wolfgang DGPS and letting it cure before the wax. Will I get the same great shine with the LS or no? Any other paste waxes out there that you find to be just as good? (I know you get what you pay for...)
Thanks

Re: Liquid vs Paste
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder when it comes to waxes. The key is a proper polishing. You can put a $500 wax on a unproperly polished car and it won't come close in apperance to a $5 wax on a properly polished car.
That being said.... I love the Souveran paste on dark, solid colors but I don't like the liquid at all. That's just personal opinion. Try the WG DGPS first and see what you think. That is a very nice sealant IMO.

As far as what to use... If you are on a tight budget don't spend money on an expensive wax. You can buy a good wax like PB or colli and save a bunch of money. When you have more money than you need then maybe it's worth spending lots of money on a wax because it makes you happy to do so.
Besides! You can buy some other detailing stuff with the money you saved on the wax!

Paste on dark, liquid on light... honestly if you're tight on budget better go with Meguiars #26, it's amazingly cheap. I collect waxes and believe me meguiars waxes are still one of the best value out there...

Thanks!

Re: Liquid vs Paste
Just based on my experiences & personal preference, liquid souveran looks better on my silver and made the metallic popped out like crazy whileas paste muted them. On the other hand liquid is just average on my black whileas the paste makes the paint glowing and dripping wet.
But honestly both are pleasantly easy to use...

Re: Liquid vs Paste
I will agree with liquid souveran making metallic paint look great and pop. I got a sample of it and machine applied it to a section of my met. pewter S10 and it really looked smooth and sexy. I haven't used the liq. sov. on any dark vehicles yet, but I would imagine if you have any flake in your paint it will bring it out. I used the original Pinnacle Signature paste on a 05 WR Blue STi and it always looked great on there. But if I were you on a budget I would go with one of the Collinite's as they are great waxes and very cheap for the quality and durability you get from them; probably better than some more pricey stuff. Just my opinion and experience.

I know the Collinite is great for durability so I'm going to get some of that before I go back to school and protect it with that but before that for the summer I want a wax to really make it pop. I think I'd spend up to $50 on a good wax to really make the color pop. Ill spend the difference on applicators and MFs! I could try the fuzion estate mini or pin ss2... Other suggestions?
