Ehem....UQW - 15.2oz (450ml); OCWax - 17 oz (504ml) and they both cost about the same price.

Sifu, as mentioned one is a "topper" and another is a "LSP"
Now, whats the different between the 2?
After wash, topper first and then followed by LSP??

Normally we refer LSP as the last step 'PROPER' protection product that you'd apply after polishing. A 'topper' is meant to mean something that you use to 'top up' after applying the LSP or after a wash to replenish/boost/restore the 'just waxed' look, feel, etc. So we can say that we 'top up' when we're not doing any polishing (e.g. after washing only), be it with a proper wax/sealant (e.g. DG101, OCWax, etc.) or a 'weaker' version of a wax/sealant (e.g. DG Aquawax, UQD, etc.).

So if you're 'topping' up with, for example, DG Aquawax, you're just 'boosting' or adding a little more to the existing protection. Whereas if you use a 'proper' wax/sealant to 'top up', you're putting down another layer of protection on top of the existing one.

I hope I got that right.

Yes, correct.
But I still find Liquid and Paste LSP as more lasting against spray type, or maybe have not used a good one.... smile_tongue.gif
