Is there a differance between paste wax and liquid wax?

I plan on detailing my car this weekend, and was just wondering if there was a differance.

IMO paste wax is a bitch. When you remove the paste there is a layer of dust that is left behind. I hate that ****

But liquid wax is my fav. Its very user friendly and looks great!

Paste wax is definitely kind of a thing of the past. Liquid wax is easier, to apply, easier to remove, and generally leaves a nicer finish...all while still giving you the same protection.

They are the same thing. Its more of a personal preference as to which you want to use. Some waxes even come in both forms.

I've used paste for years. Worked great. I now use the liquid because its easier and cleaner for me. With me using both I can come out with the exact same finished product. I hope I don't get ragged on here but the Turtle Wax "Ice" products are what I've been using lately and I love the results!
