#20 or #26

[LiveWire]

I'm gonna run out of #26 soon and I'm not sure which to get next... #26 or #20?

I like #26 alot, smells good too! But sometimes its attracts dust. But it has not stopped me from using up all of it because after application it(car) looks so good.

I'm also not sure about #20 as well or its properties since I have not yet used it. Megs are a bit expensive in my country so I can't afford to buy the two but will only use one.

Which of the two protects better? Last longer? and does'nt affect the previous application of polishes(#9 and #7) unlike NXT wax which I observed takes out some but not completely strips the previously applied polish. By the way, I use a machine(rotary) not a PC.

thanks!

Hey,

Meguiar's #20 Polymer Sealant and the #26 Hi-Tech Yellow Wax are somewhat different.

Meg's 20 is a Polymer Sealant. It will give longer protection than the #26, and is very reflective. I have used #20 for YEARS and love it!!

However, #26 will add more depth and warmth to the paint compared to the #26 IMHO. It will not last as long but has good durability.

What I have been doing for a long time is usig the #20 and topping it with the #26. That way I get the best of both worlds-- a polymer for durability and reflectivity; and, a carnuaba blend for the depth and warmth. If I had to choose only one, I would probably take the #20, though that would be a difficult decision.

I have applied #20 over all of Meguiar's pure polishes like #7 etc with no problems at all. The slight cleaners that are in #20 are more for bonding purposes rather than cleaning the paint like a dedicated cleaner wax. So while the #20 may remove a very slight amount of the #7, I highly doubt it will remove all of it. In my experience, I have found that there are tremendous gains in using the #7 before the #20, especially on darker colors!!
