Just a quick question, which wax is more likely to look best and last the longest out of the two on a green car? I have a thing of solid mothers carnuba wax, and a thing of liquid maguires NXT. I`ve heard a lot of good things NXT on darker colors, but will it last as long as the solid mothers?



this is my car:

I don`t know about lasting but I have used NXT liquid wax on dark as well as silver. I am very please with the results on both. I usually wax 1-1.5 months so in that amount of time NXT holds up well.

Typically, paste waxes last longer than liquids. Not always the case, but IME it holds true... typically

I`ve used both of those products and am not thrilled with the durability of either. I`ve not used either on a green car but have used both on dark blues and silver.



I think the NXT shines better and also believe it is more durable. Frankly, I have can of Mother`s carnuba and will not waste my time putting it on my cars because it`s protection seems to be gone about the time I get it on.

I have used NXT with great results on dark green before! NXT IMO is a great product, just seems to be questionable durability.

In general paste wax last longer and is better because there are less solvents in it to carry the wax. Pure wax can not be applied so it has to have a carrier to bond to the surface.

Hi, do you have the Mothers Carnauba Cleaner wax, or the California Gold Pure Carnauba, just wondering ? Either way, I would go with the Mother`s paste. The Pure Carnauba ( Phase 3 ) paste is an old but GREAT LSP. I like the look of liquid NXT, but the durability is severly LACKING, IMO. Your car looks really nice.

its the basic carnauba cleaner..



well I went with the NXT... nothing special, looks okay, its shiny.. just wonder how long it will last.





but I still can`t figure out how to get the bug guts off my car.... how do you guys do it without scratching or creating swirls?
