from the link: "most dents are on bottom and do not effect lid sealing, some are slightly on lids but lid still usually seals. NO GUARANTEE LIDS WILL SEAL"

Who wrote that disclaimer???


I have bad luck- I would be the one to get a can that doesnt seal.

So you melt it in a double boiler and pour it into a different can.

Last time I bought from eshine they sent tins of #16 that contained white paste. The paste should have been a blueish color. I won't be buying from them again as Meguiar's was contacted and confirmed it should have blueish.

Mine was white also, and after using it I wasnt impressed at all.

FWIW... My first can of #16 arrived today, and, it is blue.

The only thing that was a letdown was the shipping time, but, mine had the US customs AND the German customs to go through.

I plan on trying it out this weekend if I get half of a chance to play around. LOL

Same here. I mean, it is nice having 2 tins of the stuff, but I am willing right now to send both of those in for some blue ones even if the tin is dented...

This would be a good time for the eshine guy to step in...

Anybody wanna let him know to check this thread?

I got my 2 "dented" cans in today. One can is dented at the bottom and seals fine, the other one is dented just below the lip of the can but I can fix it and it will be fine. And yes the wax is blue not white. I think im going to shoot them an email and ask them about the other two tins that I got which are white wax.

All the stock we get from Meguiars is new stock and I assure you there is a good mix of white/blue product. As far as white, I doubt it is pure white but more like light blue. Meguiars #16 has been like this since we started selling it in 2005. Some are blue/white marble looking, some are blue on the outside and white in the middle (vice versa also). Most of the cans that are "white" are blue underneath after you scrape the top layer off. We have NO PROBLEM switching your "white" cans for blue but it would be costly in shipping for you. When WE call Meguiars and ask about the white/blue of coarse the story we hear is that it is perfectly normal. Here are a few pics, you can see the marbled version and three different shades we just took from NEW cases. We sell what Meguiars ships us, I assure you I use M#16 regularly and there is NO performance difference between different shades.

A person who knows from experience that a customer will purchase a half price dented can and want a refund if it doesnt seal like new.

Sweet, eShine posted here!

While we have your attention... do you have any dented cans left? Or only good ones?
