CG E-zyme Vs. CG Celeste Vs. CG 5050 Vs. CG Pete's 53 Vs. Souveran Vs. ? (Black)

[Nacho98]

Have a black SN95. Looking to pick up a premium wax to use over CG Jetseal 109.

From everything I've read, CG E-zyme is a very deep wax for a dark-colored car, while CG Celeste isn't as oily/wet, but rather a crisper wax. CG 5050 and CG Pete's 53 seem to get pretty good overall reviews, but I don't see anyone saying they are outstanding, either. People seem to absolutely swear by Souveran for black/red cars though.

I understand wax is a personal decision, but I have not used any of the above waxes as of yet. Of those above--or any others to consider--what are your preferences for black/dark cars, and why? Probably looking at paste wax here; I understand that's preference as well, but it still doesn't explain why a 16 oz. liquid bottle of Souveran runs for $40 while the 16 oz. paste goes for $95...

Also the wax will be applied with the usual Porter Cable, fwiw.

can't go wrong with megs #16

Liquid cost less because there is less carnuaba in it then it's paste counter part. Liquids also have more additives added to keep the carnuaba in a liquid state.
Out of what you have listed I have only tried Souveran and can confirm it is dripping wet on dark colors. I did not spend $95 on it though and it is now past what I am willing to spend on a wax. I did get my hands on another wax that also looked amazing on dark colors and last a lot longer then Souveran, Clearkote carnuaba moose wax. (almost) The best 20 dollars I spent on wax bar none (Megs #16 still holds #1 for me).

There is a reason why waxes get compared to Souveran.

do you really have to quote the pictures? everyone likes pictures but do you have to quote them to flog the page with the exact same files?

Souveran Looks great but the petes is less than half the price and 50/50 is almost half so I would go with one of those.

That Beetle looks unreal...

Seeing these pictures almost makes me wish I had a black car instead of a white, an orange, and a flat orange. Hmmm lol
