Re: Is #16 really worth the price now?
Okay... look at the words...
M16 Professional Paste Wax is different than our other waxes... not better
Of course that depends upon how you define the word better

Mike:
Considering your extensive collection of #16, I will take that answer as a YES!"Meguiar's, Im back home Again, and plan to Stay!".

Re: Is #16 really worth the price now?
When someone asks me about #16, I find the easiest reply is:
"Stop talking, go buy it, try it, and be ready to pick your jaw up off the ground!"
lol I LOVE #16!!!It's Zetec, not VTEC...Comment

Re: Is #16 really worth the price now?
$25 is a reasonable investment to evaluate a product with such significant potential impact on your car's appearance. I saw M16 on eshine.ca the other day for $17.99 a can. I'm not sure what the total cost with shipping would be, but it's probably close to what your quoting. I think the product is well worth the money, and dread the day when it can no longer be found anywhere at any price.Comment

Re: Is #16 really worth the price now?
#16 is an amazing wax even at $25 a can. Does it blow away #26? No, but #26 is underpriced
The cool thing about #16 is its an old school formula that still looks great, especially on metallics and lighter colors. I like #26 on darks.

$25 is not bad when you consider that you get about 70 applications out of one tin. That works out to about $0.35 per application.Jim

Re: Is #16 really worth the price now?
Yea Black Diamond. I was like you. I had heard all the rave reviews. Heck, this wax has been out for over 50 years so I am thinking, "How can such an old formula possibly compare to today's new synthetic polymer and moleculized ionic double poly carbonate sealants".
I took the plunge and bought 4 tins off eShine. I haven't looked back. Water beads flawlessly and the wax glides on and off. Just don't let it sit more than 5 minutes on a panel otherwise it turns to concrete. I have a big Tahoe and I only have to dip inside the tin 4 times. One tin will last me 10 years. I went overboard....Ah well.... Yea it is definitley worth the $$$.
As a side note, I would love to know their secret formula. The wax appears to have a heavy blend of petroleum. I think that's what makes it slide so easily onto a car.Comment

If you apply it super thin you won't have this problem. I once missed a roughly 1 foot square area and noticed it almost 24 hours later. Wiped off pretty easily.Originally posted by Nacho_Z71 View Post
Put M16 on a bit heavy and let it dry completely and, yes, you will hate yourself for having done so. It can be a real pain but, as with everything else in detailing, technique is everything!!Michael Stoops

Re: Is #16 really worth the price now?
Tried it last weekend. It was also the first time I ever used a paste wax. I was amazed how little it took to do a whole car.
The looks of the car didn't change much since I put #16 over NXT. I just want to compare durability. One of the most recent sealants vs the oldest wax.Comment
