Re: Great deal on #16 on ebay...
its the same seller as before, just a new listing.
i just bought a can from her @ $12.99 and asked how much extra $ to include megs natural shine and megs leather cleaner/conditioner since they didnt have thier own auctions but were included in some other auctions. she replied with "if you buy another can of #16 i will include the natural shine & leather cleaner/conditioner" lol so obviously i did it. got 2 cans of megs 16, bottle of natural shine and bottle of leather cleaner/conditioner for $26 total  |

Re: Great deal on #16 on ebay...
As of today, you can still buy a can for $12.99 shipped.
I guess I'm in the "I don't get it" camp though, and don't really see the appeal of this (outdated) product.  |

Despite this wax was first manufactured in the 50's, the durability and the looks is something you do not get everyday with the gazillion waxes that are out there right now. Just a little learning curve, and you are on to a surprise!

Re: Great deal on #16 on ebay...
The appeal of this product for me is that it is very durable, provides great gloss and beading, and a tin will do about 80 cars, so it is quite economical.
What else could you ask of an LSP, good looks, good durability, easy on and off if used properly and good value when you consider how far the product goes.

I'm familar with it as I used it "back in the day", which was quite a while ago. I found it to be a pain to work with and didn't think that it looked like anything special. It sure did bead though. |

If applied it very thin I find it a breeze to work with. You're right about the beading though, not many products produce such high and tight beading.
As to looks, #16 seems to be more like a sealant in it's non-darkening, glossy appearance and it seems to make metallics pop. On darker colors I prefer a carnauba's darkening glow but as with all waxes, much of their appeal is personal preference.
About the only thing I didn't like about the product is that if waxing a dark colored car with rock chips it tends to dry white in the chips.
What is really hard to argue with is the economics of the product. I routinely get 80 applications from one tin. A tin costs around $13 so that equates to around $ 0.16 a pop. |
