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 still stand by previous statements of mine regarding M26.
Such as:

D.O.I.? As far as I'm concerned this is the best definition of D.O.I., as it pertains to auto-detailing.

I asked a chemist friend about this and he said it was because M26 has/had the ability to bend light.
Maybe one of our engineering type people can explain how that would work...
D.O.I. = Distinction of Image
The ability of a surface to reflect an image clearly. A mirror offers 100% D.O.I.

I don't care that much about durability !! I forgot how easy 26 was to use .. Apply with PC and it falls off ..too easy to just throw another coat on every three weeks in the summer...
I'm also a fan of this wax, been using it a long time. I still use it every now and then, but I also find the durability on the short side, about 3-4 weeks depending on weather. It does make the paint look/feel nice though.

I stand by M26 (both liquid and paste) and use it whenever possible. All waxes, at least true carnauba based ones, have limited durability (in my experience).
Not just the D.O.I., but the R.O.I. is what makes M26 an excellent investment.
I've been using M26 for years on my red MR2. I love the darkening effect and the MR2 is a garage queen so longevity is a non issue. Easy on and off and no streaking. Lots to like in the appearance department and the price is right.
