Is M16 back on the market in US?

I thought they stopped selling M16 in the states due to VOC laws. Looks like ADS is now selling it again. Did they change the formula so it is now VOC compliant in the states, it says original fast drying fiormula?

Interesting ....... Would be nice. Says Out of stock but back in stock Nov. 6

I took a quick look at MOL and nothing jumped out at me about it. Doesn't matter to me I hoarded a lifetime supply back in 2005 or whenever that was

Just spoke with rick at ADS, it is a stock of the old VOC formula that they got a hold of. Megs is not coming out with any new formula. I guess get it while you can they should have it up starting friday.

LOL...maybe Mike Phillips parted with his collection, I think he had about 100 cans! Did Rick say how many there were? That's a real decent price, too, considering.

Why change something that is already awesome?

Is M16 all that great?

MR Detail Shop · 11-04-09, 01:59

rick did not say how many he had, but did say it was a one shot deal. When ADS is out thats it. If i didn't just purchase a life time supply from ebay already i would jump on it.

Or you can order it from the Europe/UK where it's still commonly available.

this is true but shipping gets pricey.

Eh, it gave my car metallic grey paint a warmish glow (I assume due to its use of carnauba wax).
Myself though...I'm more of a sealant-look guy. The warmth of the wax just didn't agree with what I wanted--the glossiness and POP that sealants provide. After a couple weeks, I just Dawned off the M16, and reapplied 3 coats of NXT sealant. Soon as my NXT wears out, I'm switching over to BFWD sealant

.

Anyway, if you have a spare $16, it's worth it to pick up a tin of M16 and experience it for yourself. You must apply it very thin, and its slickness is unlike anything I've ever felt.

I think it is really glossy and not very warm for a wax. Looks great on silver and white. Durability is legendary, second only to Collinite, and last but not least, its a time tested formula.
