how would you compare these two? I have s100 and might try #16? How does the shine compare and I guess durability goes to #16. I have souverean and that seems to be very durable to me.

I like S100 in looks and application better. #16 is more challenging to apply but many here like the look.

Some people find the looks of S100/P21S to be very similar to #16.
#16 will definitely last longer, it`s a very durable wax.
The trick to using #16 is to put it on *thin*, preferably with the PC. It doesn`t take much, a can oughta last for many years.

I`ve used S100 a couple of years ago and it is very easy to apply and remove. The durability is not bad either I appyied it over NXT, got at least 2 months out of it until I tried something different. It left the X nice a shiney.

I`d say the looks are fairly similar, but the #16 will last more than twice as long as the s100.
If you can get over the learning curve of applying/removing #16, it is definitely the way to go IMO. I would think that #16 would also be a much better value based on the durability AND size of container (price per ounce).

Not much I can add to that! :)

I assume I would make FMJ last a little longer with #16. and get great results over AIO, FMJ, VM or SG?

#16 has worked well over every product I have tried it with. Don`t expect #16 to add a whole lot visually other than wetness and gloss. It won`t darken colors, for example.
