LSP, pure wax with no cleaners. Its worth using on dark color cars and last long for a carnuba, but its not as easy to wipe on and off as S100. It definately worth using. You can look in the review section for more comments.

I have used it as an lsp after polishing. It will darken your paint some and has a somewhat glossy look. It does tone down metallic paint also (have to be much closer to see the flake). I have only used it on a few colors, but it seems to make red glow wet.

i read all the reviews and no1 seems to put this on after something like nxt. im wondering if i should just top it with nxt because im familiar with it an love the results. i was just gonna wash, 80 with pc, then top with nxt or 26. if any1 has an opinions on what they think would look better on a metallic, grey/blue paint, id appreciate it

Lots on Meguiars forum use it on top of NXT to add deepth to dark colors. Make sure to allow the polymers in NXT set up for 12 hour before you apply #26. Is it good for your grey metalic paint is up to you do a section and decide if the look is for you.

I think #26 topped with NXT booster looks deep and glossy

Does a 12 hour curing rule apply to every wax???

Always a good idea to let a carnauba cure for 12-24 hours before layering. You may even find that the optics & slickness improve a bit as well. The Meg`s #26 Paste is a nice product and always a good choice. Just remember to apply it thinly.

K, one more uncertainty...



So after applying the wax I should not touch it at all and wipe the wax off with MF`s 12-24 hrs. later ???

wipe after about 15 minutes or after it hazes but don`t use anyting else on it for 12-24 hrs until its cured

Some waxes, to be sure of complete "curing" require 24 hours , just to be safe. :xyxthumbs
