#16 first try

[Jesstzn]

I have completed my Zaino program on all the car but the hood



Menzerna IP where needed

Menzerna FP all over

AIO cuz I wanted too

Z5 x 3

Z2 x 3



Got the typical Zaino glassie shine.



I`m not a great believers in toppers but the talk of #16 ( non-boutique item ) kind of got me interested .. I had used #26 a lot but with the black and the heat the greasy streaking got to me.



Well... I don`t know if it was the can I got or its just weird stuff but it is a blue semi-soft paste and when I went to apply it it went on at first like I was applying 10/30 oil. I think I had a little much on the Megs foam applicator.



To my suprise once I spread it around to thin it it hazed over very quickly.



I did a panel at a time and removed it with a good quality plush MF. It removed easily .. better than I expected from some of the comments I had seen.



I could see a definate difference between the fender and the hood .. depth and warmth..



I then did 1/3 of the front door and buffed it to see the results without a seem in the equasion. A deffinate improvement..



Longivity wise .. I really don`t give a rats a$$ if it lasts a week .. I can rewax in 40 minutes!!!! And I didn`t have to ransome off my first born to buy it.



I will add to this after a few washings .. I have a couple reflection type pic but they don`t show anything but what the world 3 miles downriver looks like in my door. If ya want I will post.

Welcome to the #16 club. I love it. For me, next to Blitz, not many products of its type can compare when it comes to awesome apearance coupled with longevity / durability.



I like to spritz a little QD on the applicator as I wipe on and aprtitz a little QD when I buff off. Sort of like a spit shine.



Oh, it`ll take at least 3 - 5 years to go through a tin if you apply properly.

Nice review. I have never had a problem removing #16 and *always* been pleased with the results. Just wait until it rains! That`s where you will really appreciate this topper.

It rained an hour after I finished then poured .. looked great .. lots of beading .. wash day tomorrow.



I have a red 02 325i to do Monday with aio/sg .. I might just drop over Tues and top it with this.

...so...where`s the car?

Looks pretty good to me! #16 is almost as easy to use as S100 if you apply and remove it a section at a time. I think you will be quite pleased with the durability too.

I tried #16 for the first time last saturday.

It`s been non stop rain since then and my car is still very clean 500miles later because of the `self cleaning` beading



I`ve used p21s/s100 for the past year and I am now swapping to #16.



Application and removal are about the same, both give a great glossy, wet look shine.

But #16 comes out top`s due to its beading action and so far for its duribility. It`s only been on a week, but my s100 would not be beading after 1 week or rain where as #16 looks like it was applied yeaterday.

Car looks great!

I applied another coat (around 3-4, I forget) to my Jeep today using the WOO method. Much easier to use than previous method of doing the whole car letting it sit a few mins. and then buffing...

Nice Shots! I really want to try the #16, too.



By the way, what kind of doggy is that? A Westtie?

When I first tried #16 I wasn`t blown away ... it`s not as reflective as S100, but now it` been nearly 3 months and it still looks good. #16 is definitely the most durable "wax" I`ve ever used:xyxthumbs

I always enjoy reading about how others enjoy "discovering" #16 :xyxthumbs



Maybe its days as a "sleeper product" are numbered...



It *IS* easy to apply too much; if you squeeze out as much as you can (I press the pad against the rim of the can) you`ll still have enough, especially if you "liquify" it by moving the applicator quickly over the wax.



Now you guys gotta try applying/removing it by PC/Cyclo

Great shine on that car, gotta get some of that #16!!!!!



Cute dog, sorry `bout that pink tumor coming out of its head.....
