    Better to layer #26 or #16? Does the paste / liquid change the effectiveness of layering?



    It`s that wetness I`m looking for.

    Well, plenty of people will claim you can`t layer carnaubas, period.



    Generally, liquids are less likely to layer because they have more solvents.



    When I use #16, I find that a second application, after maybe a week, improves the vehicle`s appearance. Can`t say about the #26, haven`t used it in ages.



    I think that the #16 will give you the "wetness", whereas #26 would give you more "richness" and "depth".

    I just bought some #16. It seems awfully "creamy" for a paste. I would imagine that it has a fair amount of solvents in it (for a paste)?

    LightngSVT- I dunno about the solvent level being especially high, the "paste that turns liquid" thing is just a (unique?) characteristic of the #16.



    thinkweb- Your call. It`s like saying you have a case of Pepsi, and asking if you should buy some Coke They *are* rather different, though.
