The 500ml bottle that I tested would seemingly last a long time, offering up 20+ full coats of a medium-sized car, possibly even more than that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was advised from the bottle to simply apply with a thin layer, allow to haze for a minute or so and then remove. I worked a panel at a time, making sure I used my cross-stitch method of vertical and horizontal lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The removal of the wax was really easy. I used a plush microfiber cloth and simply applied as little pressure before it was removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_cVIU_KifDk?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\n\n\n\n<p>What I will say is that I did try and apply it to a couple of panels at once to test and whilst I wouldn\u2019t say the product was \u2018grabby\u2019 it certainly wasn\u2019t as easily removed as using just one panel at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The results were really quite excellent and also fairly surprising. I\u2019ll harp on about prep work again, but I definitely saw some enhancements from the Maracana liquid wax in terms of depth and sheen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only real drawback for the product is that the durability hasn\u2019t been the best. After just a month I can see areas where the wax is starting to lose some of its hydrophobic qualities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a workaround, I would definitely layer this wax up. Whilst there is no mention of layering on the bottle, considering the time it takes to apply \u2013 no time at all \u2013 I\u2019d state this wouldn\u2019t require an awful lot of extra effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Things to note:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Thicker consistency means that it\u2019s easy to over-apply. Thin layers work best.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Could be better suited to DA application, although worked out just fine by hand.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Very easy to apply and remove. Much quicker than hard\/paste waxes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Superb finish and depth of gloss.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Durability seems to be lacking a little and I would advise to layer it up to improve this.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Easily get 20+ coverings with single 500ml bottle<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"aawp\">\n\n            \n            \n<div class=\"aawp-product aawp-product--horizontal\"  data-aawp-product-asin=\"B074CNSGK5\" data-aawp-product-id=\"3783\" data-aawp-tracking-id=\"prepmycar-21\" data-aawp-product-title=\"Waxplanet Maracana Liquid Wax 500ml *New Improved Formula* - Super Glossy Carnauba and Montan Based Liquid Wax Show Room Finish\" data-aawp-geotargeting=\"true\" data-aawp-click-tracking=\"title\">\n\n    \n    <div class=\"aawp-product__thumb\">\n        <a class=\"aawp-product__image-link\"\n           href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/dp\/B074CNSGK5?tag=prepmycar-21&#038;linkCode=ogi&#038;th=1&#038;psc=1\" title=\"Waxplanet Maracana Liquid Wax 500ml *New Improved Formula* - Super Glossy Carnauba and Montan Based Liquid Wax, Show Room Finish\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aawp-product__image\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41q8CLZxtlL.jpg\" alt=\"Waxplanet Maracana Liquid Wax 500ml *New Improved Formula* - Super Glossy Carnauba and Montan Based Liquid Wax, Show Room Finish\"  \/>\n        <\/a>\n\n            <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"aawp-product__content\">\n        <a class=\"aawp-product__title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/dp\/B074CNSGK5?tag=prepmycar-21&#038;linkCode=ogi&#038;th=1&#038;psc=1\" title=\"Waxplanet Maracana Liquid Wax 500ml *New Improved Formula* - Super Glossy Carnauba and Montan Based Liquid Wax, Show Room Finish\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">\n            Waxplanet Maracana Liquid Wax 500ml *New Improved Formula* &#8211; Super Glossy Carnauba and Montan Based Liquid Wax, Show Room Finish        <\/a>\n        <div class=\"aawp-product__description\">\n            <ul><li>Maracana liquid wax is a blend of Montan and Carnauba wax in a super slick liquid form.<\/li><li>Create a stunning show wax finish in the quickest time possible.<\/li><li>Super easy to apply and remove leaving behind the slickest paint and fantastic gloss.<\/li><\/ul>        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"aawp-product__footer\">\n\n        <div class=\"aawp-product__pricing\">\n            \n            \n                    <\/div>\n\n                <a class=\"aawp-button aawp-button--buy aawp-button aawp-button--amazon rounded shadow aawp-button--icon aawp-button--icon-amazon-black\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/dp\/B074CNSGK5?tag=prepmycar-21&#038;linkCode=ogi&#038;th=1&#038;psc=1\" title=\"Check Price On Amazon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Check Price On Amazon<\/a>\n            <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n    \n<\/div>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_2ce4f7-74, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_2ce4f7-74[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_2ce4f7-74\"]{margin-bottom:20px;font-style:normal;color:#0a1931;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_2ce4f7-74 mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_2ce4f7-74[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_2ce4f7-74\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#ffc947;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading_2ce4f7-74 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_2ce4f7-74\"><a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/uMabA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">2) Chemical Guys &#8211; Butter Wet Wax<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Butter Wet Wax.

Unlike the Maracana Liquid wax above, Butter Wet Wax is 100% carnauba, which offers a slightly different texture. It\u2019s more of a gloopy finish, but it comes out of the bottle really well, with next to no mess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apply to product to the car was carried out using a microfiber sponge for this, as that\u2019s what they recommend. Straight lines, horizontal to vertical as per.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bottle states that you\u2019re able to simply wipe on and wipe off, which is a popular attribute to liquid waxes. But, in my experience, I like to leave it for just a minute or so to cure slightly. I found that by doing this I wasn\u2019t just moving excess product about and instead, removing the product which is what we want to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The finish is totally incredible. It\u2019s as wet and glossy as you\u2019re going to find. Whilst the product is yellow in colour, I used it on a dark blue car, which brought out great results, so I wouldn\u2019t say that it favours lighter coloured paintwork, which is often the case with lighter coloured products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, the finish is so good that my neighbour even commented on it asking what I\u2019d done differently. He sees me cleaning a lot and never takes much interest, but was drawn in like a moth to a flame. He even had me send him a link to the product!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The downside is that of its durability qualities. It\u2019s poor to be honest. If you get a month or so, you\u2019ve done quite well. But, it\u2019s not designed to be a particularly durable product, which is what a lot of people fail to understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Butter Wet Wax isn\u2019t a show wax, but it\u2019s not your winter coat either. It\u2019s designed for the detailer who\u2019s happy to top up once a month and keep their car looking as wet and glossy as possible. A slight compromise on durability for sheer aesthetics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, if these credentials were a part of a hard wax, I\u2019d be less inclined to run with it, mainly because of the time it takes to apply a hard wax, let it cure and then remove.

It\u2019s very \u2018premium\u2019 and whilst has no reflection on the product, is a nice touch. The pack that I got also came with a microfiber cloth and foam applicator, both of which were pretty decent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Hydra Wax was as easy to apply as any of the other products in this list. You just need a really small amount on your applicator pad and then you are good to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s worth noting that this liquid wax will require you to leave it haze for around 5-10 minutes depending on your climate. This means that if you\u2019re looking for something that\u2019s wipe on\/wipe off, it\u2019s likely you need to look elsewhere, especially if you\u2019re in a hotter climate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dull 12-degree day in the UK was perfect for application and after around 10 minutes, the product buffed off really easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4P9TN-a3mC0?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\n\n\n\n<p>The aesthetics of the product were very good, but not quite up to standard as the two products mentioned above. It offered a good level of gloss and the shine was excellent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The strength of Bilt Hamber Hydra Wax comes from its durability, an area that both of the other two products lacked in. Hydra Wax is around 50% in T1 carnauba wax, meaning that the rest is made up of synthetics and water. The carnauba content is lower than the other two, which means the synthetics allow for better durability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of hydrophobic qualities, Hydra is the best I\u2019ve tested from the liquid wax section. Beads stand tight and proud, and water with an open-ended hose just runs away. You\u2019ll be looking at around 1-3 months in terms of durability as well, which is excellent for a liquid wax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cost is a little higher than some, but the fact that you get a microfiber and applicator pad within the pack certainly makes up for the extra cost. If you\u2019re looking for durability overlooks, Bilt Hamber Hydra Wax should be your first port of call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Things to note:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Comes in a handy kit that includes microfiber and applicator pad.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Needs to cure for 5-10 minutes, which means that not as well suited to warmer climates.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Levels of gloss and aesthetics are good, but not great.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hands down the best for durability from any liquid wax.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Easy application and removal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Best uses with a panel cleanser.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"aawp\">\n\n            \n            \n<div class=\"aawp-product aawp-product--horizontal\"  data-aawp-product-asin=\"B004553WIS\" data-aawp-product-id=\"3622\" data-aawp-tracking-id=\"prepmycar-21\" data-aawp-product-title=\"Bilt Hamber Hydra Wax  500ml\" data-aawp-geotargeting=\"true\" data-aawp-click-tracking=\"title\">\n\n    \n    <div class=\"aawp-product__thumb\">\n        <a class=\"aawp-product__image-link\"\n           href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/dp\/B004553WIS?tag=prepmycar-21&#038;linkCode=ogi&#038;th=1&#038;psc=1\" title=\"Bilt Hamber Hydra Wax (500ml)\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aawp-product__image\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/31HLs7nb54L.jpg\" alt=\"Bilt Hamber Hydra Wax (500ml)\"  \/>\n        <\/a>\n\n            <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"aawp-product__content\">\n        <a class=\"aawp-product__title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/dp\/B004553WIS?tag=prepmycar-21&#038;linkCode=ogi&#038;th=1&#038;psc=1\" title=\"Bilt Hamber Hydra Wax (500ml)\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">\n            Bilt Hamber Hydra Wax (500ml)        <\/a>\n        <div class=\"aawp-product__description\">\n            <ul><li>High T1 carnauba wax content<\/li><li>Easily outperforms expensive paste waxes<\/li><li>Produces ultra deep durable shine<\/li><\/ul>        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"aawp-product__footer\">\n\n        <div class=\"aawp-product__pricing\">\n            \n            \n                    <\/div>\n\n                <a class=\"aawp-button aawp-button--buy aawp-button aawp-button--amazon rounded shadow aawp-button--icon aawp-button--icon-amazon-black\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/dp\/B004553WIS?tag=prepmycar-21&#038;linkCode=ogi&#038;th=1&#038;psc=1\" title=\"Check Price On Amazon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Check Price On Amazon<\/a>\n            <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n    \n<\/div>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_d653c1-42, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_d653c1-42[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_d653c1-42\"]{margin-bottom:20px;font-style:normal;color:#0a1931;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_d653c1-42 mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_d653c1-42[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_d653c1-42\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#ffc947;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading_d653c1-42 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_d653c1-42\"><a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/VpZk8Ax\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">4) Auto Finesse &#8211; Radiance<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Auto Finesse range is one of the best in the business in my opinion.

The colour, the smell, the quality of the bottle even, it just oozes class and I like that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The product itself is has a high level of Carnauba content, but it\u2019s mixed well with other oils, minerals and water. The consistency straight out of the bottle is almost gel-like, but that\u2019s a good thing as it means you don\u2019t need to over apply. In fact, another product where less is definitely more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I used a microfiber block applicator for no other reason than that\u2019s what they use in the promotional videos, so assume that works best. A couple of drops and then straight horizontal and vertical lines made the application very easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KUHVqOHfMDE?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\n\n\n\n<p>The wax contains no abrasives, which I like and the fact that it was a wax on, wax off product was another added benefit. What I will say is that I did play around with cure times and actually found that if you left it a minute or two, then removal seemed to be that little bit easier. Plus, I feel as though this added time allows a little more chance to adhere to the paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The results were really impressive. It adds huge depth to the paint and whilst the finish was a little darker and deeper than others I\u2019ve tested, I liked that it offered something different, even if it was a marginal change in aesthetics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think Radiance is going to be best suited to darker cars. I\u2019ve not really any facts to back this up, but I feel like the deeper finish might not be as clinical on lighter coloured cars, potentially leaving you wanting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, Auto Finesse states you get up to 3 months\u2019 worth of durability. This may be true for warmer climates, but in the UK, I found the product starting to sag after just a month or so, albeit in pretty poor weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, it\u2019s not really a criticism as pretty much all manufacturers I find are a little more optimistic compared with real-world scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason that Radiance finds itself in 4<sup>th<\/sup> (remember, this is out of dozens that have been looked at for testing) is that it\u2019s probably the best all-rounder in the pack. I think there are better products in all sectors than this liquid wax, but I also think there are few (if any) that are as consistent in all areas.<br>#my-id<br><strong>Things to note:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Wax on, wax off product, but best results come from allowing to cure for a minute or two<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Super-fast application and consistency of liquid is great<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Well balanced formula and high carnauba content allows for sleek finish<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Works great with Auto Finesses Triple polish as an LSP<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tried and tested across the industry and held in high regard<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"aawp\">\n\n            \n            \n<div class=\"aawp-product aawp-product--horizontal aawp-product--ribbon aawp-product--sale\"  data-aawp-product-asin=\"B071CRRWGX\" data-aawp-product-id=\"3655\" data-aawp-tracking-id=\"prepmycar-21\" data-aawp-product-title=\"Auto Finesse Radiance 500ml Carnauba Cr\u00e9me - Car Cleaning Automotive Packed With T1 Grade Carnauba Wax\" data-aawp-geotargeting=\"true\" data-aawp-click-tracking=\"title\">\n\n    <span class=\"aawp-product__ribbon aawp-product__ribbon--sale\">Sale<\/span>\n    <div class=\"aawp-product__thumb\">\n        <a class=\"aawp-product__image-link\"\n           href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/dp\/B071CRRWGX?tag=prepmycar-21&#038;linkCode=ogi&#038;th=1&#038;psc=1\" title=\"Auto Finesse Radiance 500ml Carnauba Cr\u00e9me - Car Cleaning Automotive Packed With T1 Grade Carnauba Wax\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aawp-product__image\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/31XYLYQ7SIL.jpg\" alt=\"Auto Finesse Radiance 500ml Carnauba Cr\u00e9me - Car Cleaning Automotive Packed With T1 Grade Carnauba Wax\"  \/>\n        <\/a>\n\n            <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"aawp-product__content\">\n        <a class=\"aawp-product__title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/dp\/B071CRRWGX?tag=prepmycar-21&#038;linkCode=ogi&#038;th=1&#038;psc=1\" title=\"Auto Finesse Radiance 500ml Carnauba Cr\u00e9me - Car Cleaning Automotive Packed With T1 Grade Carnauba Wax\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">\n            Auto Finesse Radiance 500ml Carnauba Cr\u00e9me &#8211; Car Cleaning Automotive Packed With T1 Grade Carnauba Wax        <\/a>\n        <div class=\"aawp-product__description\">\n            <ul><li>Durable for up to 3 months<\/li><li>Easy on, easy off application<\/li><li>Non abrasive formula<\/li><\/ul>        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"aawp-product__footer\">\n\n        <div class=\"aawp-product__pricing\">\n                                                <span class=\"aawp-product__price aawp-product__price--old\">&#163;22.95<\/span>\n                                                    <span class=\"aawp-product__price aawp-product__price--saved\">&#8722;3%<\/span>\n                            \n            \n                    <\/div>\n\n                <a class=\"aawp-button aawp-button--buy aawp-button aawp-button--amazon rounded shadow aawp-button--icon aawp-button--icon-amazon-black\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/dp\/B071CRRWGX?tag=prepmycar-21&#038;linkCode=ogi&#038;th=1&#038;psc=1\" title=\"Check Price On Amazon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Check Price On Amazon<\/a>\n            <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n    \n<\/div>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_8a6297-4b, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_8a6297-4b[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_8a6297-4b\"]{margin-bottom:20px;font-style:normal;color:#0a1931;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_8a6297-4b mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_8a6297-4b[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_8a6297-4b\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#ffc947;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading_8a6297-4b wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_8a6297-4b\">What makes a great liquid car wax?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is another question that people ask me, a lot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, I can\u2019t really answer it.

That my friend, is called fleck and I freaking love it!<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image_4d7d0d-35 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image_4d7d0d-35\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Swissvax-Fleck-pop.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-106\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Swissvax-Fleck-pop.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Swissvax-Fleck-pop-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Swissvax-Fleck-pop-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Swissvax-Fleck-pop-788x1050.jpg 788w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I wash my car around once a fortnight at least, so I keep on top of it shall we say. I will look to wax it around every 1-2 months. So, durability isn\u2019t a huge issue for me. Most decent waxes should last at least this time and often much more. If you don\u2019t want to be waxing as often as me, then you need a durable liquid wax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whilst an easy application is always preferred, it\u2019s not something that I need. I\u2019ve detailed dozens of cars and I\u2019ve worked with many products. I generally know how they work or what issues that may arise from using it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That being said, something that is just too much to work with and takes extra weet-a-bix in the morning to remove, will likely go straight in the bin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next up, I\u2019m looking for hydrophobic qualities. The idea of a wax is to keep things off your paint. Dirt, grime, dust, contaminants and even water.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image_f68364-aa .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image_f68364-aa\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/AF_-SECONDARY-6-999x562-e1522861691623.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-167\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/AF_-SECONDARY-6-999x562-e1522861691623.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/AF_-SECONDARY-6-999x562-e1522861691623-600x337.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I want to see those water drops beading like crazy. Tall, proud, singular. For me, it looks amazing when it\u2019s like this, but it also assures me that the wax is doing its job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, I want value for money. I don\u2019t have a bottomless pit of money to spend on detailing products. Although, my garage may suggest otherwise. If a \u00a310 product works just as well as a \u00a350 product, then I won\u2019t be repurchasing the more expensive product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The make-up of all of these factors, for me, create a great liquid <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/best-car-wax\/\">car wax<\/a> and hopefully will offer you some food for thought when choosing what is best for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, and I\u2019m going to mention this again, any wax is only as good as your prep. If you haven\u2019t polished and prepared your paint to the best possible standard, then no liquid wax is going to make your paint \u2018pop\u2019 unfortunately.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_0a66e5-ec, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_0a66e5-ec[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_0a66e5-ec\"]{margin-bottom:20px;font-style:normal;color:#0a1931;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_0a66e5-ec mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_0a66e5-ec[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_0a66e5-ec\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#ffc947;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading_0a66e5-ec wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_0a66e5-ec\">How to apply and remove liquid car wax?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the massive positives for me with a liquid wax is that the application process is so much easier than that of a hard or paste wax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to the fact it\u2019s a liquid, you just squeeze out what you need on to your applicator pad and away you go. There\u2019s no need to be rubbing your applicator in a pot trying to get the dregs of the tub onto your applicator, which is probably my biggest peeve when it comes to hard waxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before I move on, I really do recommend checking out the manufacturer\u2019s instructions for each product, as they will differ. These guys want you to get the best results, so they\u2019ve tried their product in many different ways and are telling you which is best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That being said, some companies are better at it than others, which is why I wanted to give you some pointers as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step, do not put too much product onto your applicator. You need to make sure it\u2019s as thin as possible and this is for two reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To get the full effects of the wax, you don\u2019t need a lot of product. A thin layer offers you the same protection as a thick layer because when you come to buff it off, it\u2019s only removing the wax that hasn\u2019t adhered to your paint. The rest is just waste, which is costing you money.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The more you put on, the harder it is to remove. Wax cures into a hard product and if you leave it too long or have too much on, it becomes almost impossible to buff off. I\u2019ve seen many times where people put way too much on and then have to strip the whole car as it\u2019s set to rock solid and can\u2019t be buffed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Second, I like to use straight lines when applying my wax. This goes for liquid and hard wax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Swirls are an issue that all detailers hate. We do what we do to get rid of them. Swirls are in a circular shape, so I want to minimise the risk of creating these tiny scratches and go in straight lines over a circular motion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I may get shouted down here, but even if the manufacturer states circular motions, which some do, I\u2019d still opt for straight lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I look at it as a patchwork quilt. I go from up to down, then across from left to right to create the quilt. Weird, I know, but it works great for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As liquid waxes are so versatile, you can even look to apply them with a Dual Action polisher if you like. It works really well actually and might get you a little more cut in the paint, removing a few defects. Although, that\u2019s not really what waxes are designed to do, which is where polishing comes in\u2026 but that\u2019s another article altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My advice would be to run it on a low speed and just take your time. Let the machine do the work and don\u2019t spend too long in one spot. Remember, you\u2019re looking to protect the paint at this point, not correct it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Removing should be a pretty simple process. Use a plush microfiber towel and apply the minimum pressure possible to remove the product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With liquid wax you shouldn\u2019t need to leave it to cure as the wax reacts differently to that of hard or paste waxes. This allows you to simply wipe on, buff off. Go at one panel at a time and you won\u2019t be far wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, keep your towels clean and free from contaminates. Never use dirty towels and if you drop it, do not, at any point before washing, use it on your paint!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, a great tip that I read on one of the detailing forums was to apply liquid wax like it were a \u00a31,000 wax. Because liquid waxes are generally cheaper than hard waxes, people often lose sight over their true value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just take your time and go one panel at a time and you won\u2019t go far wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_896863-f9, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_896863-f9[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_896863-f9\"]{margin-bottom:20px;font-style:normal;color:#0a1931;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_896863-f9 mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_896863-f9[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_896863-f9\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#ffc947;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading_896863-f9 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_896863-f9\">Why use liquid wax over hard\/ paste wax?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The main reason to use a liquid wax over a hard wax has to be the ease of application for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everything from applying the product to your applicator to buffing the product away is just easier and you can get your car protected in a much shorter period of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Liquid waxes are often quite a bit cheaper than most hard waxes as well. Although I would argue that you get more for your money with a tub of hard wax, assuming the standard 200ml, compared to a 200ml or even a 500ml liquid wax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of people see a liquid wax as a much more user-friendly product as well. You just pour it out the bottle, apply and wipe off. They don\u2019t need any curing time and in 15 minutes you can comfortably have your whole car waxed and ready to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another key factor why you should use a liquid wax over hard wax is that the majority of them can be applied in direct sunlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, for those that don\u2019t know (again, written many times on this already), it\u2019s highly advised that you wax your car out of direct sunlight. In fact, if possible the whole wash and correction stage should be done outside of direct sunlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason is that the sun actually bakes the wax onto the car and with it makes it very hard to remove. You need to allow hard waxes to cure, so in direct sunlight, it\u2019s almost impossible to say when it\u2019s ready to buff off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As liquid waxes need to be buffed off immediately and require little to no curing time anyway, it makes it an ideal product for detailers who are unable to find shade to clean their car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If this does affect you, it\u2019s worth noting that Adams offers a whole range of products that are designed to be \u201csunlight friendly\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_e1586e-ae, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_e1586e-ae[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_e1586e-ae\"]{margin-bottom:20px;font-style:normal;color:#0a1931;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_e1586e-ae mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_e1586e-ae[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_e1586e-ae\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#ffc947;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading_e1586e-ae wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_e1586e-ae\">Pros and Cons of liquid wax<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>[wpsm_column size=&#8221;one-half&#8221;][wpsm_pros title=&#8221;PROS:&#8221;]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Easy to apply<\/li>\n<li>Often a cheaper initial outlay for the product<\/li>\n<li>Can be applied in direct sunlight<\/li>\n<li>Can rival results of hard wax<\/li>\n<li>Technology in products is increasing all the time<\/li>\n<li>Application time much shorter than that of hard wax<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/wpsm_pros][\/wpsm_column]<\/p>\n\n\n<p>[wpsm_column size=&#8221;one-half&#8221; position=&#8221;last&#8221;][wpsm_cons title=&#8221;CONS:&#8221;]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Lacks durability compared to hard wax<\/li>\n<li>Often lower carnauba content affecting aesthetics<\/li>\n<li>The finish can look a little dull if not applied correctly<\/li>\n<li>Can be tough to remove if left for too long<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/wpsm_cons][\/wpsm_column]<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_7ac03d-d9, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_7ac03d-d9[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_7ac03d-d9\"]{margin-bottom:20px;font-style:normal;color:#0a1931;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_7ac03d-d9 mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_7ac03d-d9[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_7ac03d-d9\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#ffc947;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading_7ac03d-d9 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_7ac03d-d9\">FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t<div class=\"wp-faq-schema-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-faq-schema-items\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>What is the best liquid car wax for cars?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>One of the best in the business right now is Chemical Guys Butter Wet Wax.
