Bought a tin today before hearing this to try it out. If it looks as good as S100, I'll be getting at least one more. I'm obsessing the paste waxes right now...

I'm okay if they discontinue #16 as long as they replace it with a durable old-skool paste wax that smells like crayons and beads like mad.

You guys are lucky...Up here in Toronto, I'm having no luck in finding/ordering a tin of #16. They will only order if I buy a case.  |

I'd be seriously unhappy if they discontinued #16. My father, who had been using it since the mid 70's introduced me to it back in 1981 or so when I got my first car at 17, and I've used it ever since.
Just ordered a tin the other day before hearing about this, now I guess I'll need to stock up.

LOL, I have one can, and my opinion is that it would last 5 years no problem.

Hahaha Agreed! I have had a tin for a few months now and I can see myself waxing cars with it until the cows come home!
I find it to be a wonderful topper not only because of the look, but the durability. I feel good knowing that the cars I detail will look good longer than the typical detail. That has been my biggest complaint - people saying their old detail lasted for like 6 weeks.

The last time I heard they were gonna discontinue it, it turned out to be a false alarm, but I guess this time it's for real (those VOC regulations...). Even if they *did* reformulate it, I dunno if I'd like the new version as well.
Oh well, the stuff has an incredible (indefinite?) shelflife, as long as the cans are sealed and stored properly. A case oughta last me just fine, so knowing me, I'll probably order two  |

I predict you'll see almost ALL carnauba waxes disappear in the near future. Sales won't offset the expense of reformulation, assuming it can even be done.
Why do you think we've seen the rapid expansion of low solvent/water based sealants in recent years? Blackfire, 4 Star, Wolfgang, NXT, Reflections, etc., all have been developed to comply with the upcoming EPA VOC regs.
The market is changing and these new products will fill the void left behind when the #16's of the world disappear. |
