Great deal on #16 on ebay... - Page 6

Wow, I guess different paint systems react differently to different waxes. IME the white paint on my truck appeared to be a matte finish with zero shine. I even tried it on a gray car with similar results. Although it appeared clean, Just didn't get any gloss from it especially on white.

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.

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.

Went to my local USPS distribution center. They didn't have the package there. They took all my info and said they'd call me.

Looks like the auction has sold out now, so if USPS really lost my package, it's too late for me to try to grab any more.

I love the post office

Yeah, they're quite the act. At least around here.

Did you guys receive a tracking number from the seller directly? If not, where did you find it?

Got mine in today, anyone know how to read the date code, or whati think is the date on from the side of the tin?

Id say the best way to get an answer would be to PM Mike Philips. He'd know better than anyone (i would imagine)

Happy to report they found it and my mail carrier dropped it off today

Next question. When I opened it, it's like wet pudding. Is that becuase it's been sitting out in the heat for several days?

yeah mine was lk that too, and now it is solid after sitting insdie all day and night.

I've asked her if she would be relisting and this was her response:

Dear mjtobia,

Hi
Yes I will be relisting but not with free shipping because I have reaaly taken a lost by giving a reduce price.
Thanks
Karen

Cool. Thanks for the feedback. I was hoping that would be the case.
