Will be fine, XMT glaze has carnauba in it. Search for a thread on here, don't know where it is, but if your apply by PC try putting some glaze on the pad and some on the actual car, when I used it the pad just seemed to absorb the stuff too quickly and felt like I was dry buffing.

I'll either use a 4" blue Edge pad next time or just apply by hand, some otehrs did it by hand. I think I like RMG better, it was noticeable even on white, XMT didn't seem to do anything but I think that's b/c it got absorbed into the pad too quickly.

You will get great results with either combo, XMT glaze, or RMG. Top it off with #16 and don't forget to post pictures.

I have actually used that combo before, worked great and looked great too, I have also tried it the other way, xmt over 16, I say give it a try. Both products give some amazing results, and 16, well lets just say it really sucks they don't make it anymore.

I think they just don't make it anymore, I think #26 took it palce. All I know is if I can ever find anymore I'll buy all of it.

They no longer make it due to VOC regulations. I get my cans of #16 for $22 shipped to my door. :cheers:

They still do make Meguiar's #16, since production facility is outside of California, they just don't sell it in U.S.

You can look in up on Ebay, or some detailing sites in U.K.
It is gonna cost you $25-30 shipped.

So why not to look for a great substitude - Collinite 476S.
It's available here, @Autogeek, and it's still on sale for $12.50 a tin (9oz).
#476S will last just as long as #16, if not longer.
