Couple of questions.

1. Should I get liquid or paste polish?
2. Polish is another word for wax?
3. Do the application pad or microfiber towel leave swirl marks?

Thanks.

1.I like the idea of liquid better. very easy on and off. just wait like ten minutes before the light buffing. you cover the whole car in like a minute. i think the paste would take slightly longer and harder to put on a even coat.

2.dunno, it's weird that they say it's both...makes it smooth and shiney so take it as it is.

3.no

You could look at how much time you have on your hands. The liquid goes on super easy and fast and best part you can use it on all the plastic.....but it washes off pretty easy. If you don't mind waxing more often its a pretty cool product.

I have not used the paste stuff, other than paste waxes by other companies like meguires, etc. my guess is it would be more time consuming but also may offer a more longer lasting protection.

Polishes and waxes are actually two separate products. Polishes are used to rejuvenate the painted surfaces. They can do this either by chemical process or via abrasive diminutives. The abrasives will break down with attrition.
Freshly polished surfaces should be promptly resealed with a protectant. Protectants arrive in two formulas, actually three. Nubas, Synthetics, or a blend.
Those themselves can be in a liquid, paste or a cream formulation. Usually, the thinner products are more refined and contain quite a bit of petroleum bi products, which dont leave a lot of room or protective ingredients. Pastes are your better "Nuba" solution. Synthetics, on the other hand come in a liquid form 95% of the time. Synthetics normally outlive a Nuba at least 2:1.
You should use each product respectively. One product, one purpose. The all in one types of products, a.k.a. AIO, Wax Polish etc. really dont work well, or last that long......
