Its a wax that meguiars used to make. It is very rare and is said to be one of the best waxes out there. Thats all I really know but I am sure that some of the others will chime in with more. If you find some buy it!

so if i was going to use something close to thumps method for my truck:

#80
PB's white diamond
PB's EX Sealant

what would i use instead of #16 if you cant' get that anymore? would #26 work here?

Thump, your mustang looks great by the way!

Thanks for the compliments guys.

#16 was discontinued. I'd use #26 in it's place.

#16 and #26 co-existed for a while... #16 was snubbed for a couple of reasons 1) High VOC content (new laws for EPA Region 9) and 2) slow sales.

Now that it's gone, it's almost folklore and everyone wants a can.


BTW, the Stang' looks STELLAR, Thump! Nice work.

Thumper, you need to post your photos over at poorboys forum under bragging...


BTW, others reading should know that BH is to be used on Dark Colors, not just black.
