You probably could have bought a tub of concours and some HD cleanse with that money. It would be the first step in getting addicted to high end waxes. Vintage would come soon after. Trust me.

I used Meguiar's #26 about a month ago & it is an excellent wax. It tends to make the colour look darker (on my black car) & it gives you that wet look with a warm glow. The only thing I dislike about it is the fact that it stains the trim, as mentioned by others.

P1et..you will not be disappointed...is one of Megs finest products...it has a real wet look and very durable for a liquid wax..I bought a half gallon a few years back and used it all ..it was my summer look wax as it glowed in the sun....

I use the paste now..but same look....

little hint.......treat the trim and plastics first before applying 26..that way if you do get some on and wipe it off..no staining.....

its so easy to use ..you can apply weekly with no time involved..and have a wet looking paint....

enjoy it...I may bug you for some come spring...lol....I really like the look of it and ease of applying it....

Thanks for the tip Al, I'll be sure to keep that in mind. I was going to do my wife's car with it this weekend but ended up reaching for the Collinite 476 again. Next time!

And yes, I got a screaming deal on it:

$20 for 7 gallons!!!
