Default Meguiars NXT Genaration Wax- liquid or paste?

I am going to clay bar and then wax my car, I am getting the NXT Genaration wax by Meguiars and would like to know if you would recommend using the liquid or paste, does one work better, and is easier to put on or are they pretty much the same. I was just wondering what you guys think.

The NXT paste version has only been out for a few months, so I doubt that many have tried it yet. But in general: Liquid = easier to apply, Paste = more durable.

If it was me, I would want to try out the paste. Some of the people over on autopia.org have had problems getting thin enough layers so it is more difficult to remove, while other haven't had any trouble at all. If you do try the paste, let us know what you think!

I used the liquid and waxed my car this morning before work,I like it.The wife has the digital camera and we are in for rain later,so I can't post pics 2day.I am impressed with this stuff so far,I guess I'll find out how long the protection lasts.I used to use Zymol,but won't be going back to it.

I used the clay bar and NXT paste. Came out awesome. I haven't tried the liquid, but the paste has been very easy to apply, and even easier to wipe off.

I also haven't tried the paste, but you can't go wrong with the liquid. Check out the Meguiar's Online NXT forum for more info.

Liquid here too. Then use the spray wax booster between waxes. Love it.

LOVE NXT!!!! i've only used the liquid too, but was also wondering about the paste. The liquid goes on and comes better than any wax i've ever used, also you wax the whole car, then take it all off, don't have to do one panel at a time. I know you did'nt ask, but here is a few more tips, use some good microfiber towels to take off the wax, trust me it makes the car look sooooo much better than terry cloth towels. And when you clay bar the car don't forget to do the windows and t-tops with the clay too.
