M20 vs M21 vs M16 vs NXT

[poyo]

I've been a user of NXT Paste Wax for almost 2 years now. Great product [ easy to apply and remove ], but the durability of the wax in high humidity countries like Malaysia makes the wax last up to 3 weeks only.

I have seen cars done with M21 as LSP and I do like the look [ similar to NXT, a bit better in terms of gloss and reflectivity perhaps? ], but I have yet to see cars [ visually, not thru Net pics etc ] applied M20 or M16 as their LSP.

M16 is available here in Malaysia, and I have read some of the reviews of this nifty stuff here in MOL. But the pics show that it's not as reflective as NXT [ which even helps my Giallo Modeno - painted car, this colour is not so reflective during the day, to reflect a lot better! ]. Haven't used it yet. But since my NXT Paste Wax is diminishing, prolly buy a can of M16 and give it a try. To my understanding, M16 must be applied as thin as possible, as this wax is slightly harder to remove compared to M21?

Haven't seen a M20 applied as a LSP also.

My question[s] is :

- For personal use [ personal as in, having lots of time to use a finicky LSP to have the best possible result ], which one of 'em will last the longest, but yet, giving out the best water beading, protection, gloss, clarity and reflectivity?

- For business purposes, I believe M16 is outta the list [ since it seems like it's the hardest to take off ]. So, between the three [ M20, M21 and NXT ], which one works best?

- But for certain business purposes [ special customers which their vehicles are painted deep red, black, or deep, dark blue colour ], which one of the four I've mentioned will provide the best result?

Pls forgive the questions, as here in Malaysia, stuffs like this is SOOOOO limited!

Re: M20 vs M21 vs M16 vs NXT

well...M16 is legendary now you know? since meguiar's doesn't make it anymore so if it's like 3M's paste wax, yeah! you need to put it as thin as possible or else you'll suffer removing it. however, microfiber towels help you a lot if you put thick coats of this kind of waxes.

M21 is supposed to last up to 6 months, so maybe it could last 2 in the conditions you say. a little thing I read about waxes, is that it doesn't need to bead water to assure it still protects. you should better do the quick detailer test: spray it in your car and if it's hard to remove, then re wax your car. so you could go for M21.

however, here's a little tip: for dark colors, if you want protection, go for M21, but if you want the cars to shine a lot, use a polish like DC2 or #7(showcar glaze), then use M21. you'll see the difference

Hope this helps
