#26 v/s #16

[Jesstzn]

I have experience with #26 and lots on the shelf but with my black car and the summer heat here I find it tends to suffer from meltdown and have an oily / greasy appearance at times.



I am looking to possibly using #16 as a topper for the Zaino/Sg I am playing with.



1) How does #16 compare to the ease of application & removal of #26?



2) In your past experience is #16 deeper/wetter than #26?



I`m not interested in S100 or the other hi-priced spreads so lets not go there.

1) Both are easy to use. With #26, I apply it to the whole car, then go back and remove. #16, a panel at a time and remove.



2). #16 is wetter and more reflective. #26 has a somewhat softer look and a touch deeper.



S100 is high priced? Anyway, #16 looks very similar to S100 but is proving to be more durable.

S100 is 3 bucks more than #16.

Not up here .. you have to order out of the US or settle for P21S



I haven`t been able to find S100 in Western CanaDUH .. none of the Harley Shops carry it.

Borrow the PC, yeah. Popcorn....not yet. I want to drop another 15 pounds or so. My only snacks are fruit and Total cereal. Skating 60-75 miles a week helps....:D

Iceman told me that the Harley shop in Langley (Southside Harley, I think) has S100. Might want to give them a call. Would be worth your while.

Regardless of S100 availability, I know what you mean about the oily look of #26. I think it usually happened when I applied more than one coat too quickly or something. But whatever causes it, I have never had that problem with #16.

I did a coat of 16 this weekend (easy on & off using the panel-at-a-time) and I`ll be doing another coat in the next couple days - but what kind of results would you expect from putting a layer of 26 on the 16? How about 16 on 26? Has anyone tried this?

Nooo.. I was looking at using #16 to top the Zaino/SG I been playing with .. not to top #26... ty anyway

[topnotchtouch]

I did just that last night. Did surface prep with #82 which left a nice glossy surface so I skipped #7 and applied a layer of #26 (paste). I waited about an hour after buffing it and then applied a layer of #16. This was all late last night and I haven`t really had a chance to get a good look at it because it is covered in pollen now from being outside at work. I`ll wash it this afternoon and see if I can get a good pic.
