Nope I'm going to try EX-Px2 topped with #16x2, Wolfgang is now my summer worker and fall gets Paste Glaz (since it's nice during this time reapllication is easy) Spring EX get that slot.

The value is trying to get your hands on the end of a dying breed. In all likelyhood better options exist, but its the "limited edition" or "never to be seen again" that create the buzz.

This best summed it up except I actually really like #16 for it's look and it's durability on Crystal white paint. It also looks great on Diamond Black (Lexus) with pink moose under it.

Yes BUT before the craze came about #16 was cheaper @12.50 a tin which made it a very good buy. I personally am fond of the old school tin and crayon smell. Reminds me of when my old man had me waxing his F150 with rain dance (nostalgia(sp?) )

Wytstang, glad to hear the WDGS is doing so well. I put 4 layers on the Jag for the Concours in September. I added a layer of Natty Blue's in October. I wish I had not topped it off with the wax.

I was thinking 3 to 4 coats for summer myself with no topper (heard many people say the same after they topped it......regret). I just hope this 3 month run isn't a fluke....

Klasse twins - yes are abviously more durable. After all, SG is one of the most durable sealants. Just my $0.02.

Sealant's and bird poop, you're not the only one I heard that from. Because I really didn't know. When I seen it on the hood of my poor old John Deere, I almost clean it off. Remember seeing sealants and bird poop on a post, I didn't touch it. I wanted to see if the sealants would hold up. I think NXT is a great product, but as far as protection Klasse Twins and Liquid Glass are number 1 in my book.
