Meguiars #16 paste wax

[baker]

Eshine has a bogo on this product, and I know I`ve seen comments about it before, but the search function shows nothing found. Those of you who have used this product, what are your thoughts? Thanks in advance.

The hype surpasses the product but it is a good wax with nice longevity for sure.

[corrswitch]

I hope its good. I bought some as well.

I`m hoping for good durability. It won`t be as good as collinite 476s but hopefully close.



I read that it should have a better appearance than 476s and somewhat easier to use.

#16 is a VERY nice wax.

Very good durability with crisp reflections.

Seems to look better on light colors.

My go to lsp for white or silver.

It produces very flat reflections, almost sealant like. To me the look is not that of carnauba. Water beads very well, but I really think #26 is a MUCH better wax.

I personally love using 16 on my metallic blue jeep. Gives the flake a nice pop and it definitely has some really good longevity. Be sure to apply it to cool surfaces and very thin or you may be cursing quite a bit trying to remove it.

I still have 4 tins of this wax. It is a pure wax with no cleaners so it perform great as a topper for sealants. It doesn`t darken colors like many carnaubas do. It easily lasts 3+ months so it is very durable, right up there with 476 IMO. It needs to be applied very thinly or removal may be difficult. I get about 80 applications per tin so it is quite economical.



I always use #16 as a winter topper over a sealant which easily handles the winter`s worst 4-5 months of snow and salt.



I love to hand apply this product. Maybe it`s just because I`m old school but this wax smells like crayons and applies so easily that it feels like therapy for me. The wax has a highly reflective shine. As I mentioned earlier, if you`re looking for a warm carnauba glow this is not going to provide that look. It is more like a sealant in that it imparts a steely, high gloss shine. It also is one of the best waxes at producing tiny and very high water beads in the rain.



This product has been around unchanged for a very, very long time, until the CCAB and EPA decided that it`s VOC`s were too high. I believe I was around 15 YO when I first used #16. I`m now 65. I`ve always considered this one of Meguiar`s best carnauba products through the years.

I haven`t been using my #16 so I broke it out again and applied it to my cf hood over Danase Paint Sealant. It doesn`t take away from the look in sunlight and beads water very well. A nuba with sealant tendencies.

..I love to hand apply this product..



Whereas *I* love to apply it by machine :D



Either way, the way it`s "the paste wax that turns liquid" makes for a *LOT* of coverage. A can oughta last many, many years.

Someone on here described #16 as looking almost as good as Souveran & lasting almost as long as Collinite.



I love it on reds & whites.

[mblgjr]

I tried it.



I used it and Collinite 476s; I prefer collinite. Looks better, easier on, easier off, lasts longer.

Huh, that`s interesting!



I used to switch to 476S on my wife`s A8 in the winter, but the #16 looked so much better (to both of us) that I quit doing that and now just stick with #16 year-round. Not like I don`t appreciate the 476S (use it on other stuff and like it), but I woulda thought #16 had an edge on looks.



Just goes to show that different people are, well, different.



Sure never thought anybody would find 476S easier-on than #16 though, that one *really* surprises me! I`d put #16 right up there with Souveran/liquids/etc. as one of the easiest LSPs to apply ever.

great stuff make sure u use thin coats a pc with 4 inch pad helps

Anyway thanks for the answers guys, I now have 2 tins on the way, only pay for one though. Gotta love BOGO`s, but hate this impulse to buy, buy, buy. I ahve a closet full of stuff like it. Oh well better than drugs, oh ya, the same as drugs to an Autopian.
