    Toughest Nuba?

    Topping my mom's old car tomorrow after this EX-P cures. Its white, not going for looks this time, tough heavy beading that will hopefully holdup for awhile, here's what I got:
    Megs #26
    Butter Wet
    Pink Wax
    Nat
    Nat Blue
    Max Wax
    S100
    Liquid Gold Class (crap)
    The old green turtle
    I am thinking the Megs 26 or S100?
    Do ya notice, no Souveran on my list, life's been rough to me

    Are you asking us to pitch in and buy you a jar for your birthday? Maybe a get well soon gift after your metal polish fiasco? btw, I don't know what is toughest. Probably s100.

    #26 is definitely the longest lasting of the waxes you named. It's a carnauba/synthetic blend which gives it extra durability. You could get maybe 2-3 months out of #26 whereas S100 would only last about 1 month.

    yep, #26 doesn't have any cleaners. let the sealant cure and top until your heart is content.

    to answer the post question, Colonite is likely the most durable carnauba but I find it to look kinda boring. The Megs should provide some durability, but how likely are you to not add a coat or some Qd'er soon anyways ??

    Yeah, kinda what I thought. I have been using the 26 on lower parts though, figuring ti might add a little mroe protecto.
    I ended up going: Crystal Wet Glaze, EXP (yes, compatible), Butter Wet, and Reg Nattys. Looks pretty good.

    I've found Meg's #26 to be pretty durable for a nuba . . .
