I believe less products and better quality.when you find out that a company has 4 different washes 4 different tire shines 3 different swirl removers ....ect it gets confusing.All this does with the new products is reinvent themselves a marketing ploy for more business once again I am not bashing MEGS just seeing through them.Yes I will buy a few of there items and if you ask why its because IM THE BIGGEST SUCKER GOING.....

It's almost like being in Vegas ..

too many packaging styles
too many products
too many things all doing the same thing

If avid enthusists like us find it confusing, I can not imagine what the average Joe must think when the walk up to a shelf and try and decide what Meguiar's product to buy.

This is why I have so much respect for Steve at PB .He makes one item and evey item he makes is QUALITY.YES swirl removers and others are 1,2,3 , you know what I mean.I really don't use a lot of his products but what ever I use in every situation works for me can MEGS say the same it gets real confusing at least to me it is

Only items that cought my eye were the nxt paste (i hope 16 isnt going byebye!) the MF drying towels (cheap cost per sq inch) the mf apps and the interior QD.

yeah, i dont understand the concept of a quick interior detailer, how long does it take to wipe down the interior w/ a damp mf towel, spritzed w/ ur favorite protectant. i just cant see the need for this. Oh well ,it will probably be the #1 selling interior QD in America

That's why they have to have all those products that do the same thing -- they couldn't possibly get it all written on ONE LABEL.

At the risk of sounding like I work for 303, which I don't, 303 touts working on both leather and vinyl. I used it on my cars that way.

Well, first, it doesn't say they have "waited 10 years to release" it says it took them 10 years to develop the product.

Now, whoever was developing it for them could have really been working on it for 10 years. I don't think they're lying about this.

I'm happy Meguiars is releasing new products yearly. I've been waiting for new Mother's products for a few years as their stuff now is "good" but not great--but it leads me to believe they could make some very awesome products alongside their veteran products.

I've never seen all of Meguiars products in the same store. You have one or two GC, 3 or 4 consumer line, maybe 2 NXT products. You know, I really don't mind having t he freedom to choose. This is America

Turtle Wax makes a "synthetic" paste.

To quote Oscar Wilde, "I wish I would have said that"

at, says it works for both leather and vinyl...which is kind of handy when you are doing someone else's car, and you're not sure what's vinyl and what's leather...now, if they would just drop some of the other sea of products that they have that can be used on interiors...maybe the idea is that they can push all the other products off the shelf at Poop Boy's?

********, that is what this is, nothing revolutionary here, i was expecting something good, oh well, the only thing ill be wanting to try is the paste wax

In the past, if I or someone were to post their opinion of a product without ever first trying it, we would be tarred and feathered.

At first, when I heard about the new accessory line, I must admit I wasn't too excited. It's hard to get excited about a brush. That said, after seeing, feeling and holding all of these items first hand, I must say, I was impressed.

All of these tools are brand new designs. Meguiar's worked with an engineering company to design all new tools, not the same old stuff but in a different color.

I'll be holding a special event in the near future and I'll invite some Autopians to attend and see them first hand
