With the plethora of carcare products, it quickly becomes confusing which ones to choose. And I don't mean choosing between different manufacturers, but in choosing within one particular product line. For example, Meguiar's #16 (Mirror Hand Glaze) and #26 (Mirror Glaze Hi-Tech Yellow Wax). The descriptions of each are essentially the same. They are both paste waxes and approx. the same price +/- a dollar. The #16 says "a unique professional grade formulation made with a special blend of premium yellow carnauba wax with silicones, polymers and other specialty waxes. Made for professionals."

The #26 says "unique blend of premium yellow Carnauba wax with polymers, silicones and other specialty waxes can provide high gloss protection as well as deepening the paint color."



:confused: Anyone know the difference between the two and when one should be chosen over the other?

Thanks. :nixweiss
 
not sure, but hand glazes are usually oily non-abrasive polishes that fill in swirls and make a good shine, but generally don't last very long. The 26 yellow wax will last about a month of normal washings.
 
Meguiar's #16 is a "hard wax". It's blended from more than just Carnauba wax. I'm not a fan of #16 at all. It is hard to apply/remove and it leaves white residue.



Meguiar's #26 is a Carnauba wax that comes in paste or creme. I prefer the creme formula. It's not as durable as #16, but I think it offers a much better look.



They also offer #20, which is basically #26 creme with polymer additives for better durability. It's easy to apply, and the results are pretty good.
