Meguiars #16...how long does it last?

[MattZ28]

How long as this stuff lasted for you guys? Can I use it to top Glanz? This stuff seems really good, and if it will last more than a month for me, I`ll buy some.

It outlast S100 and I get a good month out of it. If you maintain #16 with a good QD, e.g. FD it should last 10-12 weeks.



Never used GW sooooo can`t comment on topping GW with #16.

what kind of wax is #16? carnuba?

[disasnguy]

carnauba yup

[eecc]

would it be a good idea to top #16 over #26? if not, what are some good combos?

In the 1Z forum, there was a question on compatibility, and Mike said Glanz had some carnauba in it and was friendly with other waxes.

#16 lasted over 2 months in the winter in Canada, so I`d say it`s durable.

As a side note, there is some debate as to whether or not #16 with continue to be made after this year (VOC compliance etc.)

No last word yet. Still being debated, but it`s future may be iffey.



Stock while you can! (1 can should last a person years, by the way).

Depending on the weather it will last very long. The very hot summer conditions would be tougher on durability than the winter. I would expect it to last 3-4 months in all but super hot conditions. This of course will vary with how you wash your car but with some care this will be a very durable wax.

Definitely a good "winter wax".

I`ve had it on a black Silverado SS and white Expidition since early Febuary and both are still beading very well as of this past Wednesday. I`d say an easy 3-4 months.

[MattZ28]

Are the beads still tight and small?





I called a local store and she said she has 1 tin in stock, so I said I would go pick it up. She goes "You have about 13 minutes before I close". So, I rush over there, I get there 5 minutes before they close, and as soon as I pull up she locks the friggin door :mad:

Yeah, I could have been waxing the Z28 instead of sitting in my room!

I`ve had #16 last for 3 months of winter and salt and crap on my daily-driver. This car is never garaged and, during the winter at least, doesn`t get washed all that much. 3 months later and the #16 was still beading like a champ. At that point I applied some #26 so I don`t know how much longer the #16 could have gone. It seems quite durable, though. :)



Also, it`s my understanding that Glanz Wax can be used interchangably with carnauba waxes. As to whether one really tops the other or not, I can`t say, but you can certainly use them without any need to strip one thing or the other first.

Thanks :)

Wow, this wax sounds like it has sealant like durability, that really is amazing.
