Meguiars #16

[02CAMSS]

I am just curious about this wax I know it has been discontinued but I read nothing but great reviews about it.why was it so great?And why was it dropped by meguiars?

[wytstang]

Dropped due to VOC regs. Great because when it was available for $12-15 for 11oz you had a hard working wax. It doesn't really add wetness but it does add a very nice glow to white/silver cars. 2 very thin coats lasted 3-4 months during summer winter depending on location. A simple yet effective combo for light colored cars was/is VM/#16. It is my winter protection. Now that they sell for $25-30 most buy it for nostalgic reasons (metal tin with that crayon smell). I've said this before and I'll say it again, funny how a wax designed in 1952 with virtually few tweaks still outlast todays "new and improved" long lasting sealants.

Don't DG 105 and the Collinite waxes last that long or longer?

DG#105 will outlast #16, expect about 6 months of durability for sure (if washed weekly with gentle shampoo, and using booster wax)...Collinite #476S is a nice alternative #16, lasts just as long, maybe even longer...

Meg's 16 is an ok wax. IMO, it's nothing to go crazy over since there's collinite waxes that are long lasting as well :)

I used a wax from another company last year and did 2 coats and it lasted from october till late april and I am in new england I was pleased. It did not bead like it did at first but it did still bead quite well.

this is one of those products that has actually sold better since it was discontinued. I think Megs still offers it outside the states, and actually sneaks some in occassionally in hidden suitcases to sell as markup here now !

I have a tin, and for the price its not bad, but I dont see what the big deal is! Its not very easy to remove unless if you use it suuuuuuuuuuuper thin

That's the key and why when it was available @ 12-15 dollars made it a good deal. collinite is a great alternative now since they are at the same price point. For $15 and under you had a wax that outlasted most long lasting new and improved sealants. It's just a transparent wax that needs a glaze for wetness, but only needs 2 super thin coats to take on some pretty extreme weather and make it.
