. I always used to think paste wax the best. I have also been told all 3 are the same. So I tested it myself, and the results may surprise you, or they may not! All products were given at least 24 hours cure time before testing.

Good test mate, I've always been told (and believed) that a paste wax would outlast it's liquid equivalent but it seems that is not always the case. If you throw in the price, ease of application and the fact that the liquid is trim-friendly then that is the way to go. I often wonder if the latest (and usually more expensive) products actually perform better than older established product lines. Sometimes the application of the newer products can be tricky and this test is a reminder to not overlook older generations. Good work and good luck with your channel.

[@danlc95]

It was always thought that a paste was stronger than the liquid version. Turtle Wax Ice back in the late 2000's, the paste was said to last longer than the liquid by the company, and it did! But look at the consistency of a ceramic coating vs a paste wax. Then look at the difference in performance.

[@notsodelusional]

The ultimate quik wax is so easy to use, I still use it in the age of ceramic / graphene infused wizardry. (I'm lazy - I just use it as a drying aid on my daily driver after the monthly wash).

[@BelLavoroAutoSpa]

It's pretty effortless. Easy gloss!

[@nicorallysport]

Very good review, moreover I love these products! 👍. I don't know if you have the old versions, but it would have been very interesting to do a duel old vs new!! And see the difference in hydrophobicity, chemical resistance, ease of use and visual appearance

[@audieconrad8995]

Have not used this product from Meg's. DO like their Gold Class Paste although haven't tried it in spray or liquid. Look forward to that test. Liking the series brothah!

[@BelLavoroAutoSpa]

This one contains no carnauaba but also no ceramic, very robust polymer wax, on par with Collinite. Really good stuff. I may do gold class next.

[@audieconrad8995]

@@BelLavoroAutoSpa I understand it's pretty stout stuff. Good company - good products!

[@BelLavoroAutoSpa]

@@audieconrad8995 nothing but excellence from meguiars. They are the only company at the top of the consumer and professional markets!

[@hartlanddetailer5670]

As far as inexpensive waxes, I have found the Turtle Wax Seal 'N Shine and TW Ice Spray Wax are a great combination. I have used the Megs liquid wax and have no complaints, but less durability than most ceramic or graphene spray waxes. Thank you for your testings...

[@audieconrad8995]

Ya man, Seal&Shine with ICE topper is pretty amazing. It's a go-to base offering to clients. Ease of application, shine/gloss and durability are tops. And...not to mention bang for the buck - cost per application is soooo affordable!

[@wantsanewvehicle]

I have not watched the video all the way through yet.. but, in the past I have used this paste wax and have been pretty happy with it. I misplaced what I had left somehow, and just purchased another can. It was $15 on sale at autozone.

[@BelLavoroAutoSpa]

Great price for it, it's really good stuff.

[@danlc95]

I have the version just previous to this and I still think it's a great product. Really slick too. I'm also still a fan of M21 2.0 Synthetic Sealant / NXT 2.0 I've liked using Meguiar's products since 1996, way back before we had so many great alternatives. I used M20 Polymer Sealant and M26 Hi-Tech Yellow Wax back then. They recently quit making M20 though. Edit: Ok. I have a new respect for ULW here. Did a great job!

[@BelLavoroAutoSpa]

It pleasantly surprised me as well

[@chiroguy98]

The liquid wax will give a solid 6 months durability. Nice video.

[@BelLavoroAutoSpa]

Absolutely it looks like it will

You Have Done Great Job Really Appreciate You But There Is A Lot Of Noise Coming Can't Hear Your Voice Clearly Please Upgrade Mic Vivek Bharti From India

[@victoryensured7137]

Great video, i have a bottle of liquid wax, haven't used it yet, but i will test it on one of my cars (on my daily to be exact) but i won't buy it ever again, it's just that here in Europe it costs around 50 bucks wich is unforgivable, we have sooo much great products for half of the price and even less, for this price i can buy a decent ceramic coating...

[@BelLavoroAutoSpa]

import cost. bilt hamber is crazy expensive in the US

[@victoryensured7137]

@@BelLavoroAutoSpa well P&S products are cheap here so.. really import cost or a little bit greed cost? xD still im not bashing or nothing, and i like your reviews!

[@BelLavoroAutoSpa]

@victoryensured7137 that could be it too. Though it's also possible maybe P&S has a partnership to have products manufactured over there like Turtle Wax does. Just my guess anyways.

[@victoryensured7137]

@@BelLavoroAutoSpa yes i think that may be the case, didn't thought about that, still it's a shame as i remember meguire's produtcs from a decade ago - they where one of the best in the buisness, now they're takin a step back here in Europe, and they definetly are loosing customers, but thats a problem (or not) for Meguire's sales division :) Cheers from EU!

[@BelLavoroAutoSpa]

@victoryensured7137 a lot changed when they were bought by 3M a couple decades ago. Cheers 🍻

[@checanet]

great,but I am missing in this test the hybrid ceramic liquid and not liquid 😞

[@BelLavoroAutoSpa]

a few other youtuber channels have covered that already

[@daniell5751]

I live in Brazil and here I have access to Vonixx products. Blend Paste costs 1/3 the price of Meguiars ultimate paste. Do you think Meguiars is worth the investment, or will I be fine with the combo + blend + blend spray.

[@BelLavoroAutoSpa]

A video I recently did I had Vonixx Blend and Meguiars Ultimate on the same panel. They did about equally as well. I know Meguiars costs a lot of money outside of the US, so if Vonixx is cheaper, I would stuck with that, they are very good. Meguiars is not expensive here in the US and is cheaper than Vonixx. 8 ounces of Meguiars Ultimate Paste Wax is $30 USD and 4 ounces of Vonixx Blend Paste Wax is $40 USD.

[@daniell5751]

@@BelLavoroAutoSpa thank you very much friend. It was exactly because I saw that you reviewed the vonixx waxes that I decided to clear up your doubts and queries. anyway, we know that bench tests do not reflect the real life of a car that is exposed to the sun. Could synthetic polymers do better than a carnauba based wax in this case?

[@BelLavoroAutoSpa]

@@daniell5751 In most cases yes, synthetic polymers will outlast carnuaba waxes, and then above them both are ceramic products. Vonixx products seem to do very well. Their native paste wax is very good, blend even more so, and their sio2 spray is even more durable. I am glad Vonixx is sold in the US, they deserve more recognition for their excellent products.

[@daniell5751]

@@BelLavoroAutoSpa thanks again bro. I've been using Megs products for a long time, and some are really good, like the liquid cleaner wax. I'll give Vonix a chance. Your channel is excellent.

Hi Buddy, My Name Is Vivek Bharti From Punjab In India I Bought A New White Colour Car 6 months Ago With My Hard Earned Money. And I Have Seen A Lot Of Video's On KZbin Related Carnuba Waxes To Protect The Paint Of My Car, Every Company Says That Their Product Is Good. Please Suggest Me Which Carnuba Wax Will Be Best For Car Paint protection so that the car paint remains safe for a long time ? Because It's Very Valuable For Me. Please Suggest Can I Go With 1) Meguiar Ultimate Liquid Wax 2) Meguiar Ultimate Paste Wax 3) Turtle Super Hard Shell Wax 4) Turtle Ceramic Graphene 5) Meguiar Mirror Glaze 26 Or is there someone better than these I Have A Lot Of Faith On You. Thanks In Advance

[@BelLavoroAutoSpa]

@vivekbharti1829 meguairs ultimate is probably the best choice. There is a brand from India I have tried too called Wave X that was very good.

[@mmsb13_420]

I recently purchased Meguiar's Ultimate Liquid Wax (haven't used it yet). I have a 2022 Hyundai Kona, I bought new last year. Can I use this product on the car's exterior black plastic trim to keep it from fading?

[@BelLavoroAutoSpa]

It's not intended for use on trim but won't hurt. Check out their hybrid ceramic trim restorer.

Nice video!

[@FazalJuman]

Thank u for your videos but I think the next thing u should spend $$ on is not more products but on a mic system for your vids.

[@BelLavoroAutoSpa]

So I've been told. Eventually I'll upgrade to a dedicated camera and mic as my channel grows. Your suggestion is definitely noted!

[@danlc95]

Sounds fine from here.

[@holted1984]

Didn’t hear it mentioned here but could have just missed it… worth noting that none of these 3 products actually contain a wax as they’re all fully synthetic. Personally I prefer the gold class liquid wax which is a hybrid.

[@BelLavoroAutoSpa]

They don't contain carnauaba correct.
