Souvereign v Meguairs #16

[keesue]

Has anyone used both products who can comment on the differences between them?

IMO 16 has a more sealant look IE shiny and bright and clear



IMO PS has a deep wet oily look to it.



depends on your goals 16 is a very durable wax PS is not.

Souveran and #16 are at opposite ends of the carnuba spectrum. Souveran is pretty much the ultimate short lived "beauty wax" for blacks and reds, whereas #16 is a long-wearing wax that almost might as well be a sealant.

Yep, what they said. I'm not big on the subtle differences between LSPs, but these are two *very* different looking products. Closest Meg's analogy would be the difference between #16 and #26.



Although.. Souveran gives funny (in the sense that it might not be what you'd expect) "clear" look to well-prepped (Audi) silver that looks really nice. Hard to describe (my wife said it made the silver look "more white"), but it's not the same kind of difference from #16 that I see with other paint colors.

I agree and add that #16 looks better on lighter colors.

#16 can be a bear to work too. It is super tough though and it also is difficult to find now in the US because it is not VOC compliant.

Thank you, folks. This is very understandable. I appreciate the input, indeed.
