Great Deal for M16 on Ebay.

Re: Great Deal for M16 on Ebay.

I bet it's auction listings like this that Meguiar's does not particularly like. These auctions devalue certain Meguiar's products that are currently still in production.

I'm no expert but I'd think it would have little effect. Megs manufactured and sold all of these items at one time for whatever price. It should not matter what a reseller/retailer is selling them at now. Who its hurting is retailers trying to sell these items for a much higher price... but this is not Megs. Good for Megs when they sold this lot, good for us buyers, bad for retailers who cannot move their own Meg stock right now.

Of course, if you were a smart retailer you'd buy up all this person's stock, remove the competition and then sell it for a much higher price. Course, I'm neither smart nor a retailer.

Ahh yes. With a couple thousand dollars you could have easily snatched up ALL the M16's initially available.


There are groups of institutions out there buying large amount of gold and release them at some point to control the prices of gold. Of course, cartel at such large scale is considered illegal and is against antitrust laws.

A person in California has done this to Lamborghinis and the guy has now being arrested by the FBI for fraud.

If I have a formal business with unlimited finances, I would love to have such large influences in the market. Unforutnately, even billions of dollars is merely a grain of sand in terms of controlling markets.

So lets pool our money, buy all the M16 off ebay and we will rule the (detailing) world!

Re: Great Deal for M16 on Ebay.

I received my 3 cans of M16 today. Popped the cans open with a twist of a quarter and they look fine .

However, I'm having trouble reinstalling the lid on 2/3 of the cans. Probably 1mm of the gold inside of the lid is visible if you know what I mean. I even turned the cans upside-down and applied equal heavy pressure on the bottom of the cans against the floor to push the lid snugly into place, but no luck.

Have any of you experienced the same fun? I just don't want my stuff to dry out . If there's nothing to worry about, then awesome. Let me know!

Try a sledge hammer

It's a great tool even for precision works.

Yes. I highly doubt it will "dry it out", mine hasn't yet. If there is any known "Mike Phillips method" for closing these tins I would like to know.

Re: Great Deal for M16 on Ebay.

The fact that yours wouldn't close makes me think you guys may have gotten some bad batch of the products? Mine are fine... all of them!

Re: Great Deal for M16 on Ebay.

I usually have to close my tins with two hands pressing the lid down. This goes for M26, M16 and Collinite paste waxes. It's a tight fit by design.

Re: Great Deal for M16 on Ebay.

Eh, it might have something to do with the fact that they sat in my hot, black, metal mailbox for about 3.5 hrs before I came out to get them . Probably warped the metal tin just a tiny bit . Oh wells. The stuff should be fine even if air gets in over the course of many years .

I used to have #26 in the old yellow tin years ago and I remember having a hard time closing the lid every once in a while. I think it is just the nature of the beast with those type cans.
