Re: Meguiars # 16 Wax
M1611 Paste Wax was discontinued in the U.S. due to VOC regulations. Chances are you can still find it around... Lots of MOL guys have it available.Originally posted by tonelocg

My guess is that your friend had his car detailed by someone that knew how to correctly prepare the paint prior to waxing. If that was the case, the wax may have finished it off, but the paint prep (cleaning/polishing) is what made it look so amazing!Kevin Brown

PM me, If you want some. This stuff is on fresh cans, climate controlled, no rust or anything.
It is great wax!! It can be a PITA to remove, so be warned.
Good Luck!!Comment

It's only tough to remove if you put it on too thickOriginally posted by Hannibal

Put it on thin enough and it'll come right off (MF bonnets on the PC/G-100 work great) and the can will last for many years. I'm still using the can I first opened in the early-mid 1990s.

Thin coats are the key to any quality wax and this includes M16.
M16 is a pure wax and contains no ingredients with the intended ability to clean the paint, for this reason the paint must be in excellent condition.
Imagine P21S only you get three times as much product for one third the cost. (If you can find it).
I have a little over 5 cases in my private reserve.

lol. Even for you, Mike, that is probably enough #16 to last 50 lifetimes.Originally posted by Mike Phillips

I really like the way #16 beads, but I'm also in love with #21. My little sampler bottle of 21 is right next to my 16, locked up. I'll do a side-by-side test of 16 and 21 to see which I prefer, and even if 16 loses, I'll still save it for special occassions.Comment

Stupid volotile chemicals act....it probably wouldn't be good to get a bunch of rags covered in this and stuff them into a barrel in a hot garage though lol...Originally posted by Kevin Brown

Though I'm suprised they can't get around it and at least sell this product overseas or elsewhere. Some people go to Mexico for drugs....Meguiar's users go for #16!
My car's so shiny I can see your car's swirls in its reflection.Comment

Its freely available in the UK
and i think Megs UK might ship overseas aswell.
Might have to get a product trade going as we dont get things like Megs Accent dressing or Insane Shine tyre foam.

From my understanding, Meguiar's strives to keep their products environmentally friendly. Such as their washes, which are all biodegradable.Proud owner of the finest looking car in the parking lot.

ya there all biodegradable but the problem is there is phosphorus in some of themOriginally posted by LiquidBlack

i think some of the car washes from the detailer line are phosphorus free i just dont want to buy 5 gallons
