Difference between paste wax and liquid wax

BrandonL · 04-09-2009, 06:50 AM

I've been seeing a few threads about the paste wax that Adam's is coming out with and everyone seems to be very excited about it. What is the difference between a paste wax and a liquid wax like the Buttery Wax? Just curious, thanks everyone

obviously the texture is different..but im wondering the same thing as well ?

Paste wax generally contains much more carnuba than a liquid since pure carnuba cannot be kept in a liquid state.

Thanks for the reply. Now what does that mean to the uninitiated such as myself?

It'll actually be 100% Carnauba! This means longer lifespan, deeper/wetter shine, better durability - the list goes on and on!

How can it be 100% Carnuba? I thought like the highest concentration is 76%? Or is it a mix of like white/yellow?

Nope, 100% all day long

can this be applied by machine as well or strictly hand?

I have a hard time picturing how one would apply a paste wax with a machine, but Im no pro...so if its a paste, and if it can only he applied by hand, I'd be interested to see a how-to video. Unless its a no-brainer like the Brilliant Spray Glaze.
