I would hafe to say that 26 is a good poduct ,but I would say order 16 over 26 although they are very similiar products 16 adds more durability and warmth to your finish then number 26.

16 is a novelty item ever since they discontinued it. It's not all it's cake up to be imo but it is still a good wax.

26 will add alot of depth though

Do you have a LSP? If not then go ahead and get it, it is a great product. Personally I believe 26 adds more depth than 16, but 16 is more durable. Don't bother looking for 16 because it is just a novelty item now as stated previously

It's not a novelty item - it doesn't pass the US standards for VOC so it has to be brought in from Canada. It's also difficult to apply and remove properly.

Using a carnauba as the LSP on a black vehicle will make it look great, regardless which one you use.

Grab some #26. It looks great on darker colors.

As for #16, it really is more hyped than it's worth IMO. I think what draws people to it is that you can't get it here anymore. Collinite 845 gives nearly identical performance, is easier to use, and priced reasonable.

You are right in it not being a novelty item, that was a poor word choice, but what I was getting at is saying that it probably isn't worth it for him to go out of his way and try to order a can of 16 from eshine

Are you using 105 and 205? You could put nxt after correction then top it with 26. That's one of the best combos you can get from megs

That will work just fine for what you are doing. Most of the waxes that I own now are paste waxes with the exception of #26 and Collinite 845.

NXT 2.0 will give you the durability and will fill what the 105 and 205 doesn't polish out - then the 26 will give you the "pop".
