Re: Great Deal for M16 on Ebay.

Tried my one and only can out today, and I was impressed to say the least. I haven't had so much fun applying a wax since I was introduced to Meguiars back in 1989.

It doesn't take much of a spin to get the applicator primed for action, and the product goes on, and on, and on...well, you get the picture. Just be sure to apply a very light film of wax so removal won't be difficult. It was kinda late, so I wasn't able to get full light on the results, but it looked good from what I could tell.

As for Meguiar's other paste waxes, how do they compare to #16 in terms of application ease, spreadability, and removal? If they are anything like #16, then I may resort to using paste waxes more often.

To summarize...all a guy really needs now is a bottle of D151, and a can of #16 as a topper. What a combination!

Re: Great Deal for M16 on Ebay.

With one of my tins, I am starting to notice that the lid isn't closed very tightly. The same tin was fine the night before, but when I wake up to check it out, the lid popped up slightly, causing some leakage!

Though not all my tins are like that, the lid seems like it would deform slightly after it's opened.

Soo... here's a suggestion... do not open a brand new tin unless you intend to use it in the near future.

Re: Great Deal for M16 on Ebay.

both of my covers were already loose and leaking a little. One has a pretty good dent in the bottom but the product seems fine.

2 of my tins were on their side but suffered no ill effects!

Very nice Ebay find!

My first experience with paste waxes was not good, laid it down way too thick and after getting my first couple of tins of M16, changed my ways! I love paste waxes, got M16/M19/NXT 2.0 and M26 paste waxes and don't really use any others.

I got enough for a while, that's for sure!

RB with you on here since '04, figured you would have a stock pile by now!

If/When I run out of M16, then my go to would be M26.

Re: Great Deal for M16 on Ebay.

I find that Gold Class paste is really difficult to apply. I've clayed and cleaned the surface, there is no reason for it to drag. Taking it off is not hard at all, even if you apply it thick but putting it on is quite a chore.

M16 spreads like butter; I don't even use circular motions, I wax directionally because it is easier to spread that way. Removing isn't that hard if you use a couple of moist (with QD) Ultimate Wipes, even if you spread it reasonably thick.

I've heard of the glories of #16, but I am somewhat slow / stubborn to make changes...not to mention the product was rather scarce and expensive too. Plus, someone's opinion of a product may not be that of my own, and given that #16 was such an old formula, I just couldn't see how it could top #21, NXT, MPPP, etc. in terms of looks and durability.

Now that I've seen #16 in full sun, I have changed my mind, and I now plan to use this product more extensively. The product really produces a deep, dark glow and is slick as can be. I'm looking forward to a rainstorm just to see the beading capabilities.

Wonder if #16 was ever sold in bottles?

Re: Great Deal for M16 on Ebay.

Don't think it was sold in a bottle.....

I was hesitant to buy it too as I love M26, NXT and NXT 2.0, M21, M20, GC et al and couldn't force myself into buying a wax that is no longer available until I read enough articles on it and got some from Kevin Brown and haven't turned back. I use it more than the ones mentioned now. It's my primary pre-winter wax as the snow and rain just fall off pretty much. We had a bad snow storm and I went to start brushing the cars off for work and a push with a broom and the whole top slid off with much ease!!!! I thought, "slick stuff" Now only if the snow would bead with M16, that would be a funny picture!

Re: Great Deal for M16 on Ebay.

Has anyone tried M16 with UQD over the top of it?

I was told it produces a "ball bearing" type water beading.
