  • #16 over NXT at 1 month

    After over 1,000 miles, seemingly endless rain and a few good (?) snows, I got to wash the car yesterday. In early March the car had 2 coats of NXT followed later by a coat of #16. During the wash yesterday, nearly all of the dirt & grime came off with no heavy rubbing...there were only a few really small stubborn spots.

    The GC wash worked really well and during the rinse, any body panel hit directly with water (spray or stream) the water sheeted off with medium to quick speed. However, any body panel that got "splashed" when I rinsed a neighboring panel beaded quite well, the only exception being the extreme leading edge of the hood (which takes quite a beating).

    After drying, I stepped back and gave the car a good look-over. The finish looked like it had just been waxed, and was as deep and wet as the day I applied the NXT/#16.

    I would have taken pics, but there was no point. If I can't see a difference in person, you sure wouldn't be able to tell with photos.

    Thanks for the update Don,

    I know there are quite a few people interested in #16 Professional Paste wax, it seems to be getting a lot of interest lately.

    Do they use salt on the roads in your area?

      Truck loads...cars around here are often half white in the winter.

        I've used #16 over both NXT and #20 with excellent results. This is the hood of a Silverado SS 6 weeks after applying #20 and #16. Still beading like crazy!
