I have used both versions of NXT, and hope you are considering the newer 2.0 version. Both paste and liquid seem quite similar IMO. They also offer a spray booster as desired to use between waxing.

I think pastes in general offered longer protection in past, and was attributed to the amount of carnuaba in the product versus liquid counterpart. With synthetic waxes and new sealants I dont know that this holds true.

Both the NXT Liquid as well as the NXT Paste are easy to use products that offer great protection at a great price. In most cases the paste wax will last you longer. When I say longer I mean the actual product itself, not the protection it provides. When applying the liquid most use too much and end up with more waste then with the paste wax.

Either product will get you the desired results and both are very easy to apply and remove.

For Sprays Megs 135 (brown bottle) or Ultimate Quik Detailer work well. For a pure 'nuba something like DP MaxWax or Pinnacle SSII wont break bank and look tremendous. I prefer the look of a 'nuba over a sealant personally and have many that fit the billing (dodo, pinnacle, nattys, wolfgang)

I like the paste waxes because they generally have a high concentration of raw carnauba for that deeper and more long lasting shine. If you want a great value on a top quality paste wax check out the Poorboy's World Natty's Blue Paste Wax - 8 oz (for darker colored paints) and the Poorboy's World Natty's Red Paste Wax - 8 oz (for lighter colored paints).

If you do prefer a liquid wax I would suggest looking at the Clear Kote Carnauba Moose Wax - 16 oz. If you have any other questions please let me know.
