I have completed my Zaino program on all the car but the hood



Menzerna IP where needed

Menzerna FP all over

AIO cuz I wanted too

Z5 x 3

Z2 x 3



Got the typical Zaino glassie shine.



I'm not a great believers in toppers but the talk of #16 ( non-boutique item ) kind of got me interested .. I had used #26 a lot but with the black and the heat the greasy streaking got to me.



Well... I don't know if it was the can I got or its just weird stuff but it is a blue semi-soft paste and when I went to apply it it went on at first like I was applying 10/30 oil. I think I had a little much on the Megs foam applicator.



To my suprise once I spread it around to thin it it hazed over very quickly.



I did a panel at a time and removed it with a good quality plush MF. It removed easily .. better than I expected from some of the comments I had seen.



I could see a definate difference between the fender and the hood .. depth and warmth..



I then did 1/3 of the front door and buffed it to see the results without a seem in the equasion. A deffinate improvement..



Longivity wise .. I really don't give a rats a$$ if it lasts a week .. I can rewax in 40 minutes!!!! And I didn't have to ransome off my first born to buy it.



I will add to this after a few washings .. I have a couple reflection type pic but they don't show anything but what the world 3 miles downriver looks like in my door. If ya want I will post.

Welcome to the #16 club. I love it. For me, next to Blitz, not many products of its type can compare when it comes to awesome apearance coupled with longevity / durability.



I like to spritz a little QD on the applicator as I wipe on and aprtitz a little QD when I buff off. Sort of like a spit shine.



Oh, it'll take at least 3 - 5 years to go through a tin if you apply properly.
 
Nice review. I have never had a problem removing #16 and *always* been pleased with the results. Just wait until it rains! That's where you will really appreciate this topper.

It rained an hour after I finished then poured .. looked great .. lots of beading .. wash day tomorrow.



I have a red 02 325i to do Monday with aio/sg .. I might just drop over Tues and top it with this.

Looks pretty good to me! #16 is almost as easy to use as S100 if you apply and remove it a section at a time. I think you will be quite pleased with the durability too.

I tried #16 for the first time last saturday.

It's been non stop rain since then and my car is still very clean 500miles later because of the 'self cleaning' beading:cool:



I've used p21s/s100 for the past year and I am now swapping to #16.



Application and removal are about the same, both give a great glossy, wet look shine.

But #16 comes out top's due to its beading action and so far for its duribility. It's only been on a week, but my s100 would not be beading after 1 week or rain where as #16 looks like it was applied yeaterday.
 
Car looks great!

I applied another coat (around 3-4, I forget) to my Jeep today using the WOO method. Much easier to use than previous method of doing the whole car letting it sit a few mins. and then buffing...

When I first tried #16 I wasn't blown away ... it's not as reflective as S100, but now it' been nearly 3 months and it still looks good. #16 is definitely the most durable "wax" I've ever used:xyxthumbs
 
I always enjoy reading about how others enjoy "discovering" #16 :xyxthumbs



Maybe its days as a "sleeper product" are numbered...



It *IS* easy to apply too much; if you squeeze out as much as you can (I press the pad against the rim of the can) you'll still have enough, especially if you "liquify" it by moving the applicator quickly over the wax.



Now you guys gotta try applying/removing it by PC/Cyclo :D

Dog gone it!, you don't have to get RUFF! My jack terrier/heinz 57 mix has already licked my face to death (that is her way of 'punishing me' for that comment).
