Did a spot test on a fender panel... since the wax wasnt completely solid, the foam applicator grabbed more product, so I had to spread it on thicker onto a small panel. The wax gave a warm glow in the light vs unwaxed, so Im assuming its fine (probably not 100% since Meg's advises against separated products). Water tested.. sheeting was better vs nonwaxed, spraying water still resulted in nice beading as well.. sorry no pics, though i will post some of the hood when i do the whole car within the next few days

Wax went on easy and came off easy. The wax gave a warm glow in the light vs unwaxed, so Im assuming its fine (probably not 100% since Meg's advises against separated products).

about to test it out now in the dark, though i did prime it using Mike's method to spin the tin around and even out the wax and let it sit for a while earlier.

Something like this? Upon opening the tin, the cover scraped the slightly melted/separated wax on the edge and you can see the water in the crevice on the lower right.
Similar, though a bit more purple in color. Have you actually used it? How did it go? I don't see why it wouldn't work just fine as someone already said it may just be a different "mood" of #16.
Remember that you apply it as thin as possible. Regardless, it depends on the size of what your waxing. An average vehicle, I'd 'guess' at least 20-30 applications with two layers applied per vehicle.
not to jump off topic, but how many applications does a tin last on average?

One of my cans was sort of purplish like another member's and a bit watery. I haven't used it (I already have two cans open) but it looks funny. I'm sure it will work just fine, I just thought it was really odd how much variation there is between tins of the same product.
On a side note: my friend let me take pictures of his 1971 Buick Skylark for my business cards so I think I am going to let him have a tub as a "thank you".
