  • Magical mistery called # 16

    I know this product has been discontinued but I am just curious to understand what motivates people to keep looking for it. Can somebody clue me in, please?

    Please interpret my question as just a childish curiosity to understand mistery why "adults" that seem to be in the know keep ooohhhing and ahhhing over something as if it is magical, nothing more than that is meant.

    Thank you in advance!

            They didn't stop making it. Mike Phillips just buys all of it.

                  For all the crazy boutique waxes and sealants that have shown up in recent years, it's just flat out hard to beat the staying power and deep, wet shine you can get with a 50 year old product. But alas, current EPA regulations regarding VOC content (volatile organic compounds) laid to rest this magical mystery concoction.




                  Basically it's just really, really good stuff!!! And I was lucky enough to pick up two cans before West Marine ran out

                      I'm currently hoarding nine cans. Sure, it's enough to last me a lifetime and then some, but I'm of the "collecting" nature.

                        This may be what the chemist say, but many people using the product would beg to differ. From many people that I've talked with all said after two to three weeks of rain, dirt, dust and washes, the shine and slickness of NXT was gone. Now it may still be protecting, but it doesn't look that good.

                        To each his or her own, but I would put up #16 in terms of durability, slickness, shine and beading water up against NXT any day of the week.
