Huh, that's interesting!

I used to switch to 476S on my wife's A8 in the winter, but the #16 looked so much better (to both of us) that I quit doing that and now just stick with #16 year-round. Not like I don't appreciate the 476S (use it on other stuff and like it), but I woulda thought #16 had an edge on looks.

Just goes to show that different people are, well, different.

Sure never thought anybody would find 476S easier-on than #16 though, that one *really* surprises me! I'd put #16 right up there with Souveran/liquids/etc. as one of the easiest LSPs to apply ever.

Anyway thanks for the answers guys, I now have 2 tins on the way, only pay for one though. Gotta love BOGO's, but hate this impulse to buy, buy, buy. I ahve a closet full of stuff like it. Oh well better than drugs, oh ya, the same as drugs to an Autopian.

Well...I used the 16 on silver and bright red vehicles. It was durable (they're pretty close to me) and the 16 looked very "sealant like" with no warmth. It does have crisp reflections though.

I also used both back to back on the same two vehicles...the 476 was easier on/off and looks warmer with the same durability to me.

16 is very easily applied and ok off when applied excruciatingly thin, but I often get interrupted and it was so bad to get off (even when thin) I just got tired of it.

To each his own though

BAKER- If you get a chance, post back about what you think of the stuff.

Oh yeah, absolutely

I just found our varying opinions interesting.

Leaves white residue so be careful. I had a tin last year, I gave it to my cousin.

I use #16 twice a month on my black car, topped with AW. When I get tired I use P21S, Natty's Red, Mothers Syn. wax, Gliptone Carnauba paste wax or pink wax, topped with AW or Z8, its all good. PM

What are people using as a base for #16? I know it's great by itself, but I was wondering if anyone had any luck when using it in combination with another product.

I use it over #21 or NXT 2.0, mostly for added protection in the Wisconsin winters. It looks great and adds the much needed protection from the snow, salt and winter grunge.

I like applying it over M80.

I have already applied 476s onto my car for the winter.

Would there be any bonding issues on applying #16 on top of 476s?

EisenHulk · 12-02-08, 07:11

Many thanks to Inzane & jfelbab! Didn't think about about using it over #21.
