Who loves paste wax?

So to those paste wax lovers...

- what do you use?
- how often?
- how many layers?
- what's more important? ease of use or shine?

- Used to use Mothers, really liked the smell more than anything else I REALLY love that P21S you sold me, I'd say it really does give that deep/wet paint look.
- depends on how often I've been driving. If I've been using the car alot/daily, probably once a month and a half. If it's been sitting around, maybe not for 3-4 months, with detail sprays in between.
- Maybe 2-3. Second coat going on tonight after work
- Before I would say ease of use. Now after all the work/time I've put into it, I want it to look stellar (which, I'm far from, but I figure it can't hurt to at least do what I can. I'll definitely be seeing you to get it done properly in a few months )

- I use Natty's Blue paste wax
- I'll apply it every 4 months or so (don't drive the car much and it's garaged most of the time)
- Usually I put 3 on the hood, roof, trunk, and 2 on the sides
- Can I have both? Haha shine is awesome with the Natty's blue and it's really easy to take off as long as you apply thin layers. I would prefer shine over ease of use though

I've tried the p21s, seemed okay but I got better results with the cheaper natty's blue. Haven't tried any of the others ones for cost reasons(swissvax=$$$) Previous to the natty's blue I used the klasse twins. I like the natty's paste wax more though. It does a better job of protecting my paint from cone rash haha

when did you try P21s? I know they've improved a bit recently as well. Also the application can be a bit difficult as well if you use the concours (have to work fast).

I tried it about a year ago I believe. If you have something that gives a deeper shine and is easier to use than the natty's i'm all ears
