So, first of all I have to say that English is not my primary language so I will try to be as clear as possible and do not blame me if I made some mistakes.
Up to now I am aprox. 12 months Meguiars products user as I heared lot of good thing about it but in this 12 months there are few bad products and last one with M16 wax cause I have to write all of this.
Also I have to say that I am from Croatia and I have well distributor with well "customer service".
So lets start with problematic products and finally with some words about M16.
1st - few months ago I bought Interior Quick Detailer which had awful vinegar scent. My distributor do not have in stock another with nice smell so I took other product and bought Interior Detailer from other company
2nd - Endurance Tyre product in trigger spray bottle after month of use becomes so hard that was not possible to spread it through spray trigger (almost 70% of product gone to garbage)
3rd - tin of M26 wax with batch number C5161PC had some strange abrassive particles inside which totally swirl two car panels before I
figured out that something with wax is not OK.
My distributor in stock got all M26 with same batch number so we make a deal to replace bad M26 with M16.
As I know there are some problems with M16 in the past (pudding like consistency) I ask distributor to check it before sending to me and he told me that wax is little bit in mushy side but nowhere near wax on photos with pudding like bought from members few years ago so I decide to take it.
Upon recive it I give a wax chance and apply one coat to my car. It was very hard to apply it thin because of consistency but in the end everything pass almost well.
I close tin and leave it in my garage (68 degrees F) and today decide to put one more wax layer but when open the tin there are liquid over the surface if the wax.
So only reasonable things was to
1. pour out the liquid whic I refuse to do because in that case wax chemistry will be changed or
2. stir everything together to mix that liquid together with wax.
I decide to stir but when finished in the end I have lot of just mushy thing (can be seen on the photo).
M16 is advertised as a hard wax but this tin/batch is obviously is not - it rather seems like liquid thing than hard paste wax so in my opinion this is one more defective product out of factory - do not want to ofend anyone but if I spend 25 USD + 5 USD shipping (that is price in Croatia) I expect to recive good standing product and not some kind of mushy thing.
In addition I will just say that I have Soft99 Kiwami in my garage which is very hard wax to work with and very simmilar to M16 so few weeks ago when outside was 86 F it has gone little bit soft but became very hard again these days when outside is 68 F so I conclude that problem with M16 does not in temperature change or simmilar because it was factory sealed and no one of the ingrediens have chance to "escape" from the wax.
In my oppinion obviously the case is that there is more solvent which cause that wax can not became hard as it should be.
I am seriously thinking, after all, especially after M26 cause swirls and ruin almost 12 hours of polishing job, to give Meguiars another chance or not.
Also I hope someone will explain what is going on with this M16 described up.
