I've settled on the Meguiars gold class wax but if im hand applying which is easyer to apply? Also which will last longer and look better?
Gold class paste or liquid?

I have never used the paste but I always use Gold Class liquid. Works great and has a brilliant shine, goes on easy and is very easy to remove, and it lasts a pretty long time, usually a month or longer.
I also have never used the paste but like the liquid. Pretty easy to apply and lasts a few months.
I used to use that, but I switched to Meguiars NXT Generation 2.0, it is GREAT Wax. I use liquid. Goes on easy, comes off easy, (smells great) and shines like CRAZY !
Liquids are almost always easier to apply and remove.

What color is your corvette? I've heard that the nxt is better for light colored cars but the gold class is better for dark.

Wouldent the sand that ends up in your can from the pad be on your pad anyways if you use the liquid??

It builds up in the paste over several uses. But I'm a klutz, and seem to always get something on the pad...a brush against the stepladder, etc.

If you are seeing debris on your applicator (or in the tin) when waxing it likely means you need to clay and at least a dedicated paint cleaner or use a cleaner/wax.
My guess is you are seeing more debris with paste since you may be applying with more pressure than a liquid as you spread and work it in. It is embedded on the paint and not removed from normal washing methods.
I think foam applicators are best -- always apply thinly as possible. You should barely see it when hazed. Applying too much just wastes wax and makes it harder to buff off to get a nice shine.

Thanks for the confirmation foam appl/MF towel -
Can the Meguires Liq. wax be buffed off immediately like Klasse or does one need to let it haze?
I have never used a liquid wax, and I am becoming intrigued...
