Megs #16, another is Magic wax, (about 4 months) and the longest lasting one (although synthetic) is FK1 #1000

One of the most importans factors that inhibits the durability of a Carnauba wax is its melting point - 182 0F

FWIW- Collinite is a very durable product, but its a synthetic wax

I find that Pete's '53 lasts a pretty decent amount of time!

I agree with supercharged mind you though Vintage lasts quite a bit as well, not sure exactly how long but I'm keeping track of it so far about three weeks and still going strong

thanks for your opinion. i'm having this concern of buying a carnauba wax that would give me the best protection and best longetivity.

nica i wanted to buy the vintage for there are many people, even from other forums, that it really gives out a brilliant finish and has a high carnauba content wich also adds to a long protection level...plus it's lifetime refill...good for detailing business.
