Ceramic Paste or Patriot Paste

[BrandonL]

I just got a container of Patriot Paste wax in my latest mystery box.  Since it is SiO2 infused, will it work just as well as the traditional Ceramic Paste wax since I've already ceramic coated my car?

Patriot is excellent wax.  Great protection, long lasting, and easy as heck to put on and off. But while it was changed to include a TINY amount of Si02,  I would stick with the Ceramic Wax since it is made for use with the ceramic line.

Thanks for the responses. Does Patriot Wax repel dirt like Ceramic Paste does?

I was going to do a ceramic coating to both cars.  I still plan to do the wife's SUV as it is the go to car for going places (both retired).  I decided to stick with my tried and true wax.  I have had more people ask me who did the ceramic on my Corvette and they are shocked when I tell them it is not coated with ceramic.  I use Adams Brilliant Glaze  and then the Patriot Wax.  Every few washes it will get a coat of the Adams spray Wax.  Of course I do a complete strip wash, clay and polish every six months or so.  Also the ceramic I will use on my wife's car id Adam's also.

I just got some Patriot Wax and Americana Wax. I have never used paste wax. I usually layer paint sealant, then buttery wax, then h2o guard and gloss when I wash. How would I use it? Would it even work well for my daily driver?

Either will work for a daily and both will produce outstanding shine and depth, but neither will give the longevity the HGG gives. They're a different line of products than the PS and HGG, as well...carnauba-based (Patriot also with silica) vs. sealants...so not necessarily best to layer over top. Here's why:
