Having used various liquid waxes in the past, i have been trying out different paste waxes over the last 2 years and thought i would bring my experiences and recommendations.
Before using any of these waxes I clean the car, clay bared, cleaned again, polished then waxed.
I firstly used Collinite No. 476S - Super Doublecoat
The wax comes in a nice metal tin, is easy to apply and to remove as long as not left to long, and a long lasting protection. The only downfall that i could find with this wax was the chalky residue that it left behind which if not removed from crevices is a bit of an eye sore being white. The wax has excellent water beading properties once it has been applied. The collinite is a worth while purchase and is a good price to boot.
The second wax used was Meguiars Gold Class Clear Coat Paste Wax
Again this wax comes in a metal time, and also come with a foam application pad, which for applying wax is perfect. The price again like the collinite is very reasonable, easy to apply and remove, but again if left in any crevices the wax turns chalky white and can become difficult to remove, just like the collinite has excellent beading of water on the cars surface, but just not as long lasting as the collinite. Still a worth while buy with not much between this product and collinite paste waxes.
Although the R222 product is at least £10 more expensive than the Collinite and Meguiars and come in a plastic pot, it is by far the better paste wax. Very very easy to apply, and just as easy to remove once dried. The product doesn't leave any chalky residue and is plastic safe with not leaving any white marks behind. Whilst i haven't had the wax on my car long enough to pass judgement on its longitivity, the wax is acclaimed and has won many awards and out preformed more expensive waxes.
All in all having used all three waxes i would happily buy any of them again.
