    Meguiars #16

    On average, how long would you say this paste wax lasts on paint given normal wear and tear?

    It lasted 6 weeks through last Winter (then we got a day slightly above freezing, so I re-applied.). It was still beading nicely. No experience in extereme heat, though. (Hey....We had snow through May. I just put my mitties away!)

    Ive got a guy who is a detailer that is lamenting up and down that #16 will last 4-6 months.

    Well, it`s not that expensive, it looks nice, and since you HAVE to apply it thin, one can will do LOTS of cars, why not buy it and find out for yourself? I like waxing my car, so I doubt I`ll know 1st hand how long somthing lasts. (Oh who am I kidding? I never even find out what an empty bottle looks like, as I`ve got so many waxes to play with!) I really wouldn`t doubt #16 will last 2-3 months of non-extreme weather. If it`s a garage queen, and regular QD`s or "booster" washes were used, I wouldn`t be too surprised if the paint did still bead water after 4 months. To paraphrase some other prople`s thoughts: Define "lasts".

    I had #16 on my car for 6 weeks, still beading well never QD`d between may and june in AZ. I`m sure it would have lasted longer, but I wanted to strip it down and apply sealant.
