  • #16 vs #26

    I have read about #16 on this forum in several places. What was the difference between #16 and #26? Seems they are awfully similar products.

    Re: #16 vs #26

    #26 has a darkening effect upon the paint, whereas #16 seems to enhance the brightness. IMO, #16 is more suited to white/light/light metallic cars and #26 for black/dark and warmer coloured cars (reds, etc).

    I trust one of the Meguiars people will be along soon to give the technical skinny on these products, but AFAIK #16 was designed in 1950 and as such as old-fashioned type wax, whereas #26 is more modern in its design. As to clearcoat/single paint suitability, I don't know ... waxes are waxes, right?

          If you look at the time stamps... that took about 3 minutes and that includes editing the first message in the original post the link goes to to create and give it a clickable title.

          Now we'll move it to "Hot Topics" so it will be easier to find in the future as the questions tend to come up often enough to give it a home in the Information Station.
