    Synthetic topped with Carnauba, wait time?

    Is there a wait time when topping or can I apply carnauba directly after I apply my synthetic?

    Also, is there an advantage over using paste vs liquid wax? Seems premium waxes typically come in paste forms. Is there a reason?

    The curing time will depend on the sealant you are using.
    For example, I know Meg's NXT has a 12hr curing time.

    Most car-care products manufacturers will state there is no difference in the protection level
    offered by their wax products, whether it's in paste, liquid, or cream forms.

    I say it mostly boils down to personal preference.

    The Marketing-Moguls have this situation well under control.

    Also, is there an advantage over using paste vs liquid wax? Yes, one form may make you happier to apply it in one form vs. another. Seems premium waxes typically come in paste forms. Is there a reason? Personal preference.
