Meguiars 26

[Chase.Barnett]

M26 didn't do very much for me on my Iron Gray VW CC. Maybe another time, on another vehicle.

It looked incredible on top of xmt360 on my 13' Gray Passat. Maybe it was the combination I used?

Then again, Nattys Red is my new favorite.

Well M26 doesn't have a flashy label. It's not a "fad" wax. This product has been around for many years. Long before many of today's favorites. It's a proven carnauba wax.

Still one of my all time favorites. This was the first quality wax I ever used back in 1999. I had just picked up my car brand new from the delearship. Just the aroma of that wax brings back great memories. I actually destroyed that tin of wax by leaving it in the back seat on a hot and sunny day. The top actually popped off!

These days, I find myself reaching for full synthetics, but I'll always love #26. Like I said, it was my first pro wax.

Any chance you just caught the, "Oh, hey, lemme try this, and this, and maybe one of these.......and," bug?

I caught that virus. Still can't shake it.

I left this product for and switched to higher end waxes and after using it again the other day I am trying to figure out why. Has anybody else done this ?? This is really a good looking wax...

I love it but durability is ~4 weeks

Hi, how do you tell how "durable" a wax is.

That's a damn good question and I would like to know as well.

It seems that most ppl go by the beading and sheeting ability.
Personally, I think that's the oil component in waxes. There was a good thread on wax removal and I can't remember the title of the thread at the moment but I vaguely remember reading that just because the beading and sheeting is gone that does not necessarily mean that the wax has deteriorate or been removed.

That's what I thought too. The didn't bead or sheet, but my Paint Cleaner applicator would get gummed up with what I assumed was old wax. Especially with M20 and M26. It behaved a lot like dead skin when you rub your arm, and the dead skin rolls up. Not to gross anyone out or anything.

I did!!! There are a lot of boutique products I cannot live without but I really am glad I revisited this product ... I just picked up a gallon from my local detail supply place and M26 is just stupid easy to use and this time I really do not see myself leaving it for a $50 or $100 paste wax that looks nowhere near as good...but I tell myself it does because of the price !!! Lol...

this wax is seriously underestimated, it really likes red paint, be it single stage or clear coat, a friend of mine used to use #26 and a sealant combo, that car looked different from each angle, sometimes pink, sometimes rich red and sometimes even orange, after much thinking i believe that it was the flake pop that made it look different at different angles.

but the products were used in a different way, he used to wax his cars several times in a month,
