Thats where I picked up the tins that I have and I think it was 24.99 a tin when I ordered mine last year. I have seen some for sale on E-Bay every now and then.

I have 3 tins of #16. I don't use it too often.

I guess 105, APC+, Hyperdressing and #34 are products I really like to have. All of the others I feel I can do without and not really be bothered.

Worth it.

Maybe some isn't "must" have but is definitely "aught" to have. (at least for me) this is a list of what I use on a very regular basis.

I'd say APC+ and Hyperdressing should top the list.

Then
M80
M83
M20 polymer sealant (in my own hands is a much better sealant than nxt "twoot point oh")
M40
Meg's blue clay
D151


Remember not to rope yourself to one brand though. Meg's has some stinkers just like every brand. Just landed with a majority of Meg's for myself.

well im just getting into the detailing scene and really dont want to get too confused from the get go and be broke, so im sticking to megs for now, untill i get a grasp of things and see what exactly things will do for me then i can go to other brands knowing what i want because for a beginner i believe that any 2 companies will have similar enough items that i wouldnt see a difference and feel i wasted money

#16 is going for about $15.50 on ebay right now (shouldnt be saying this you guys will buy it up) but im waiting for a response on what shipping would be to the us

From a looks perspective, there are many waxes better than#16 however, the durability of #16 is pretty darn good. (I also have 3 tins of it, one for sale)

Don't forget Wheel Brigtener...its good chit...does wonders on the Ford Brake dust....

Others have pointed out some good things and GGJ.

If you are just getting into this, you will quicly learn wth you like and don't like thus that is why many of us utialize many brands to get the results we want.

My pics are:
Poorboys
Optimum
Menzera
"some" Megs

As for LSP's its a personal choice.

From a looks perspective, WebObession is probably one of the best I have used. DoDo Juice Rain Forest Rub is also good and Any of the Nattys's are also fantastic and will outlast WO or DoDo.

For the ultimate endurace try C845...that chit is impressive.

Good luck and have fun doing your part for the economy.

#16 can be a real pain to use - especially in the removal phase. If you already have #26, don't bother.

I will admit it is a booger to use if you put it on to thick or if it sits to long on your paint. I made the mistake of using my halogens while doing my hood and I cant even begin to tell you what a huge mistake that was. But it holds up really well.

#16 used to be one of my favorites, I love the durabilty, but it is so much of a pain to get off. I've been happy with Souveran, Fuzion, Natty's blue, Carnauba Moose. I'm getting ready to try some Dodo Juice waxes after all of the good feeback I've been hearing.
