I have seen a lot of talk about this wax - seen a lot of pictures of it in peoples car detailing product threads . . . .



Whats the story with this discontinued line...



Only have been able to find it for sale outside of the country, and when I did an ebay search I found a can for 15 bucks that had 1 minute left on the auction, I was pissed, I couldent set up an ebay account in time . . . .



Where can I get some of this to try . . .It seems to be a golden gem . . . :secret
 
Meguiars had to discontinue sale of #16 in the US due to new VOC regulations.. there are still a bunch of pre-ban cans of it floating around though.

#16 goes on slick as you please, but I did not think it lasted very long. After 3-4 washes, mine was gone.

Weird, did you put it on top of anything that might have caused bonding issues? #16 is one of the most durable waxes i've ever used.

As far as beading goes, I completely agree.

remember to apply it thin if you find some.

From what I have read It seems to have similar properties to Collinite 845, maybe give that a shot if you cant find #16
 
Three tins this month sold on eBay. All for over $50

I've never used it before and at that price never will lol. Maybe can find a can locally.

Indefinitely if you keep the lid on tight. I just finished up a can I first opened in the early-mid '90s and the last bit was as good as the first. I've stockpiled this stuff and it'll still be fine *long* after I'm dead and gone.



People have used #16 that was *old*, as in decades old, with no problems at all.

No. 16 is the hallmark of my silver GTI . . . once prepped with 1Z MP Pro, the depth and gloss is unbeatable..

Yeah, that's a great combo :xyxthumbs
 
I think Ranney at Pakshak has a few tins left. I usually use Collinite 845, but if I must use a paste wax, I'll reach for this every time (okay, I have a couple tins left, but they're mine, MINE I tell you!). Durability, good looks, economy, and easy application are hallmarks of this wax.

I haven't seen any on ebay..what is the link
 
I have one tin of #16 and used it once or twice. I'am willing to trade for another new tin of #16 for a new tin of Collinite 476S of 845IW if anyone is interested.
 
check your local parks auto parts if you've got one. I know the one near me has cans just sitting on the shelf. They've also got some turtle wax products that the labels are falling off of cause their so old. Look like they must be from the early 90's. Maybe that's the reason they still have 16, no customers. haha. good luck.
 
wow. people must love this s&^%. Im looking for a new or almost new tin, and am willing to trade for my good looks (dam - im ugly) or money. . . . anyone interested ?
