Its my go-to nuaba.

It lasts a very long time too, i dont think it gets the credit it deserves, its a long lasting wax and darkens the paint considerably.

I use both actually, depends on what i feel like using that day.

Only thing i dont like is it darkens the paint to much, some colors shouldnt be darkened imo.
 
#26 is my all time favorite wax, and i can buy it OTC..... Best of both worlds. Just put on two coats this past weekend. Nice beading by the way!

I believe that #26 is one of the best waxes available, OTC or otherwise. However, I must be about the only guy on the planet that doesn't notice much of a darkening effect. With all due respect to Coupe, I've never understood how this happens. I read this about #26 all the time, but - how can a "pure" wax (I know, it really isn't) change the color of paint on a car? I'm not saying it doesn't happen, I just can't get a handle on the process. Don't mean to 'jack this thread, if y'all think it more appropriate I'll start a new one. This just seemed a good time to ask. I've been skeptical of this for a while, but I'm always up for a little schooling.

I have AJT...and the beading isnt nearly as good. Perhaps it's because of the roadfilm on the car..salt, sand etc.

Sealant's don't bead as well as carnauba's. They have more of a tendency to sheet water.

#26 is my favorite wax. I prefer it over other, more expensive Autopia favorites.

I use #26 as well topped with Meg's #16. I really like the appearance of carnauba! I purchased the #16 out of Canada.

Good lord i cant remember the last time I used #26, and I still have about 2/3 jar left since trying and experimenting with different products. I miss how slick/smooth it felt after applying a coat. I especially love how it smells. Funny how #16 doesnt feel the same IMO.Good OTC product for the money!



hmm that gives me an :idea now hehe
