Meguiars 26

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

^^^^^^

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

-#26 has been referred to as being a Hybrid Wax...

-"Wax-refreshening-time frame/intervals" (Some folks may call this durability): Similar or better than most waxes...

-Best D.O.I. of them all!

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 have a catalog in my collection from 1988 that states,


M26 is the only wax that will increase the D.O.I. of a previously polished surface.

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.

durability?

I love it but durability is ~4 weeks

Again...IMHO:

-"Wax-refreshening-time frame/intervals" (Some folks may call this durability): Similar or better than most waxes...

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.

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

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.

I love this wax. It is very over looked and underestimated IMO.
