Favorite liquid carnaubas?

[TGates]

I finally got around to applying my wax with the PC and a finishing pad. I had always just done the LSP by hand before, usually a paste carnauba for the GTO. Needless to say, I`m hooked on PC application now. The only liquid carnaubas I had on hand were CMW, #26, and 845 (hardly a liquid). I had some NXT liquid but I was waxing over Swirlbuster and didn`t want to hinder the acrylic fillers in any way. I used #26 with a gray finishing pad and was blown away. I love 26 anyways, but using it in this fashion was so easy. I was hesitant to use CMW over SB because it has pretty high petroleum distillate content IIRC.



I just ordered some Liquid Souveran as I see myself going this route a lot more from now on. Are there any I`m overlooking? There just don`t seem to be very many out there...

So do you apply the liquid wax to a finishing pad, then use a MF bonnet to buff off?

For liquid carnauba by PC and finishing pad, #26 and IW845 are very good.



BTW, #16 is much better by PC than by hand IMO (sort of off subject).

Also off subject, EX, EX-P, and UPP spread better/thinner by PC than hand IMO.

You got it right.... Liquid Souveran. Or if you want to go sealant route Meg. 21 ...... Just did a car PO85RD, Duragloss PBA 601, M21 X 2 .... WOW

Liquid souveran removes easier than it`s paste form when applied via PC. I have had great results with the liquid, specifically on light cars. On darker colors, I prefer clearkote`s CMW because of the "warm and wet" look it gives. Liquid souveran has a lot of "pop".......

My favorites would be:



Liquid Souveran

Collonite 845

...845 (hardly a liquid)...



???



845 is a very thin, almost watery wax - if you shake it up enough. It starts as a thick, immovable paste, but when you shake it long a strong enough it will thin out suddenly.



I love it. CMW is nice too but it needs 2-3 layers to look really good in my experience. I have the Sonax Xtreme1 Liquid Carnauba but it is nothing to write home about. FK1 216 is an excellent wax too. Slick, and handsome. It contains organic/inorganic waxes (don`t know exactly what), but a nice product, nevertheless.

i used nxt when it first came out,

but since the durability is not really there, i started using # 26 and love it.



I have also used CMW on my own cars and like the look as well

I`ve fallen in love with 26. It`s an absolute breeze to use. It`s gotta be the easiest wax I`ve EVER buffed off. It just falls off the paint, and the finish is very nice... a real nice liquid shimmer.

Also agree about FK1 216 very easy to use, leaves the paint slick, wet and glossy.

Carnauba Jett looks incredible

Sorry if this isn`t on topic - but i have Natty`s blue and applied it via hand the other day, WAY to think because it was impossible to get off. How can i apply a paste using the PC? Just pop the whole paste wax out of the can and rub it on the pad?

i remember a long time ago my dad using a paste wax via a 10" orbital.

man, come to think of it, that was a long time ago,



back to my point. you would need an old butter knife or something. spread it like butter on toast, but remember to spread it thin.

Get yourself some latex gloves. Turn the wax upside down and it should slide right out with a little motivation. Spread it very thin on the pad like buttering bread. Voila!

A liquid that *never* gets mentioned around here, but that I liked back in the day, is Malm`s. Easy on/off/ good beading (on a prepped surface), decent looks, and no staining of trim (it`s the wax I started my "wax the rubber trim" regimen on the Jag with). We went through gallons of the stuff when we had the dealership. It layers, too- in fact you can get wax build-up issues if you apply it too often over uncleaned paint...sure wish I had Sonus green clay back then.



Gee, posting this almost makes me want to break out my last bottle of the stuff.
