I'm thinking of sticking with Nxt for the glossy look. Anyone else have similar results as far as dulling out an already shiny waxed vehicle? Even M26 keeps a better gloss on top of Nxt than M16.

oh man, sorry to hear that. why not try just m16 w/o the nxt?

Yeah thats what I would say. NXT gets K/O'd in almost every aspect by M16 IMO. It is a much much much better wax.

I do know that white Tundras are painted with imron, which is a tough paint finish, although for some reason very susceptible to fading.

I'd do a polish to make sure the surface is clean, then 1-2 layers of M16. Should blow you away.

M16 great product at a great price. Good Find

Just made an offer for 5...

Beading is great for M16. I made an offer on 3 cans. I have a bunch of unused M16 already, but at this price, I said why not. Even if my offer is rejected I have enough to last a lifetime.

I made the offer at 5 / can and got accepted

I bought ten at $4/can. She doesn't seem to be accepting such good offers as of late though. Many on MOL tried to make low offers and got denied even though similar offers were accepted earlier in the auction.

They probably realized people wanted this stuff enough to pay slightly more for it. Then again, all the other sellers are trying to sell it for like $20+ so its still a good deal.

#16 gives a higher gloss IME than #26, but #26 gives a deeper look with better "jetting". IMO #16 is about as "bright and glossy' as waxes get, almost looks like a sealant on some paints.

I've simply *never* had #16 give anything but a clear, bright, very glossy look. So much so that it's not my choice on certain vehicles.

A pal of mine actually prefers NXT *because* it gives a less-glossy look that concours judges prefer on older cars! Yep, he deliberately uses NXT to "tone down" the gloss of his basecoat/clearcoat paint so it looks more like old single stage.

But hey, different paints can be, well, different

Maybe you just like the NXT look better.

I had to pay 5.50 a can. She wouldn't accept anything lower. I bought 2 cans. I wonder where she found it.

Unfortunately, it appears the post office lost mine. If I plug my tracking number in on their website, it says they delivered it yesterday. But, I got no package.

Tried calling USPS but can't get to a real person on the phone and none of their menu items gets me there. Tried emailing them, but that doesn't appear to work either.

Looks like I'll be heading to the local post office to see if they can help, but I don't have high hopes.

Contact your credit card company.(if you used one). If they lost it, and can't find it, your CC should do a charge back.

Candor, I offered $5 and got accepted as well.

I believe I paid $12 per can at O'Reilly's 2-3 years ago. I ended up selling 3 cans on Ebay for between 35-40 dollars. lol
