Did you contact her? She has good feedback, I`d bet if you sent her a picture she`d replace it.

I bought ten tins from her for $4/tin with free shipping when the auction first started. :woot: The M16 trade is like the damn stock market!

After all of these posts I bought a tin. Gotta try this stuff out for myself.

**Dsoto87** · 09-16-2009, 09:17 AM

$15 shipped a tin is still a good price.

I usually see personal sales going for $20+ shipping

Other than that, the next place to get them is across the border from eshine.

If I didnt already have some (and was looking for some) I would jump on this before shes completely out or raises the price again.

All of my cans were fine.

One of the other posters received a brown can of #16. Not sure if he contacted her or not.

im going to have to try this stuff. let it go by the first time but if its really as great as it seems i gotta try it. are there any colors that it looks best on?

**Candor** · 09-16-2009, 02:32 PM

Used it on my dark blue and the paint looks like it is melting its amazing

I`ll answer the flip-side of that Q instead: it might not be everyone`s fave on very dark colors where you want a lot of depth. #16 is a somewhat "bright" or reflective wax.

**Daniel3507** · 09-16-2009, 04:26 PM

decided to give it a try and ordered 3 cans. the make offer thing seems kinda pointless since she doesnt really take anything under 14 bucks.

It seems to be deep if you look at it straight on while being extremely reflective from the side. I did a wash/clay/M105/M205/M16 on half of my parent`s burgundy Saturn hood to show my skills to skeptics (because of my age), its a dark metallic and looks absolutely wonderful. Maybe I will post some pics in this thread later on...

Heh heh, I gotta :chuckle: about so many people buying multiple cans of this just to "try it". Unless you`re a pretty busy pro, one tin oughta last many years. Several tins, that`s a few decades worth of waxing for the average enthusiast!

JimmyCutlass-Different people are gonna see it differently. I really like #16, but it just doesn`t give the depth I want on my Jag. But then I`ve used it on black with complete satisfaction, so eh.... :nixweiss

Well, it is all in the eye of the beholder. I`ve noticed different wax/sealant appearances even seemingly similar colors, different paints/manufacturers have different looks to them. The Carmine Red paint on my Oldsmobile looks burgundy metallic at first look but is actually more of a bronze; the Saturn is true burgundy metallic. Although they appear to be similar in color they seem very different with different LSP`s. The fact that one is clear-coated while one is single-stage probably has a lot to do with it, but you know what I mean.

Don`t lose hope in M16 on dark color!

I just have an addiction with always stockpiling things i buy for detailing, even if i know i wont use it for a long long time. Some say i go overboard. I say i like to be prepared haha. i have a few light color cars though that will be seeing this though
