    I just got a new gallon of it and it is VERY "liquidy". Dramatically more runny than what it was before. If I put some on a pad and tilt it vertically, most of the product will literally run off of it onto the ground. New formula I don`t know about? Anyone else see this?

    Sounds like it was frozen. Meg`s polishes are very sensitive to freezing temps and will separate and turn runny.

    I got a gallon like that once, and it wouldn`t have been frozen/etc. given the time of year so who knows what was wrong with it. The vendor replaced it with no hassles and/but I never did hear back about what might`ve been up with it :nixweiss

    Mine didn`t cut as well as M205 usually does (not that it cuts that much period). It wasn`t like it didn`t cut at all, but it was enough of a diff that I could notice.

    Mine was from AutoGeek, and this was so long ago that I`m sure they`ve stocked a whole new inventory by now. I want to repeat that they took care of the problem to my 100% satisfaction.

    I have seen M205 at that consistency before... and no, it`s not normal.



    This may sound corny, but give the Customer Care guys a call over at Meguiar`s (the number is listed on the container of M205), and tell them your situation.



    MAKE SURE you have the guy write down the date code and have him forward it to Jason Rose... he always like to check his notes, and follow up on calls such as yours.



    Otherwise, if nobody calls, and one of the Meguiar`s guys didn`t play with any problematic M205... how will they know?!

    I had this happen with an early batch of M105. Meguiar`s replace it for me right away.
