Its my go-to nuaba.
It lasts a very long time too, i dont think it gets the credit it deserves, its a long lasting wax and darkens the paint considerably.

I agree #26 is a very underated product. It is one of the best OTC waxes you can buy.

#26 is my favorite wax. I prefer it over other, more expensive Autopia favorites.

I use both actually, depends on what i feel like using that day.
Only thing i dont like is it darkens the paint to much, some colors shouldnt be darkened imo.

This is the reason I just bought #26 minutes ago!

#26 is my all time favorite wax, and i can buy it OTC..... Best of both worlds. Just put on two coats this past weekend. Nice beading by the way!

I believe that #26 is one of the best waxes available, OTC or otherwise. However, I must be about the only guy on the planet that doesn`t notice much of a darkening effect. With all due respect to Coupe, I`ve never understood how this happens. I read this about #26 all the time, but - how can a "pure" wax (I know, it really isn`t) change the color of paint on a car? I`m not saying it doesn`t happen, I just can`t get a handle on the process. Don`t mean to `jack this thread, if y`all think it more appropriate I`ll start a new one. This just seemed a good time to ask. I`ve been skeptical of this for a while, but I`m always up for a little schooling.

I have AJT...and the beading isnt nearly as good. Perhaps it`s because of the roadfilm on the car..salt, sand etc.
