Natty's Blue vs Megs Hi-Tech Yellow #26

I've been lurking in the forums for several months now and I haven't seen a good comparison of the two. My car has been treated with KAIO > KSG (4 hr cure) > KSG (WOWO) > Several layers (lost count) of #26 > And maintained with UQD on a very dark blue onyx Lexus. The car looks great and beads very well, but I'm sure everyone still wants to achieve a deeper wetter look. My question is, is there a huge difference if I lay a layer of Natty's over it as my LSP (don't feel like stripping everything and starting all over)? Or is the difference only marginal? So far it seems like Natty's Blue is the best bang for the buck. Almost comparable to Souveran, but without the hefty price tag. Read good reviews about these two products here, but I'm wondering if the difference negligible.
 
I think would notice a difference if the Natty's was applied over just the Klasse twins, but since you have several layers of #26, I think the differnce would be marginal.
 
Personally, I don't think you would notice any difference. Nattys Blue is a very good and smell geat (like Juicy Fruit) but I think #26 is EXTREMELY underrated on this board. It holds its own against most anybody, IMO.
 
I would stay with 26 personally .( I have both ) I think 26 is very under rated myself , I've been floating back to Megs prof. line a lot lately , and recently tried 21 synthetic sealant which I think is wonderful and super durable.
 
just used #26 liquid over some 476, and understand what they mean about darkening the paint. On a dark pearl red Audi it looked superb :D
 
I am going to say what I say every time someone brings up nattys blue.



It does not last more than one week. I have used nearly half of my 8oz jar (thats a lot of cars with how thin I put it on) and have never gotten more than a week or so of durability, rain just washes it right off.





Go with #26 instead. Or, my personal favorite, collinite.
 
I'm with Scott for the most part.



Natty's is wetter and has crisper/clearer reflections. It doesn't darken the paint (it actually brightens it a bit to me) compared to 26.

#16 has a lot reflectivity so for colors that have no depth, like whites, silver, etc. #16 has it's greatest effect on. Darker colors with depth don't need a much reflectivity, then #16 doesn't do as much. What I do for darker cars is use a cleaner/wax like NXT Tech Wax and then top it with #16 for that extra relectivity. Definately notice a difference, even on dark cars. #26 I tried briefly and was not impressed with it. It's like #21, another product of Meguiars I was not impressed with. Not that they are bad, but they have products to do better for me.

How does #26 hold up against the venerable #16?

so how do you express an opinion about them, then ask a question like you never used it?

I used #26 very briefly on a small section of car at a Megiuars event. So I do have some opinion on it but still insterest in others. Not because I ever want to use #26 but I get asked what I use and telling people of a product that's near impossible to get is the truth but it would be good if I can offer an alternative, mostly for light colored cars, white, silver, etc.
 
I personally prefer the #26 (paste) over NB any day of the week as well as quite a few of my customers

as said befor #26 IS way underrated as a beauty wax
 
Just had to make this decision today. I put some RMG on my Nighthawk Black Pearl and followed it with some #26 I have been using Nattys for awhile now and the durability just isnt there with it being winter. I didnt feel like doing and extra step of EXP before the nattys
 
I've used 26 and 16...



26 is warmer/deeper; 16 is harder/clearer/more reflective.



16 is only *slightly* more durable, but not by a lot. I didn't find 16 to be as durable as a lot have claimed it to be; it was a relative letdown for me as its not terribly easy to use; nor did it have any great look or super durability. The best thing I can say about it is that a tin will last you FOREVER because it takes so little to do the job.
