FD being discontinued?

[ccreamer]

I heard a rumor that Final Detail was going to be discontinued, at least in it`s current form. They didn`t give any indication how it was going to change, can anyone shed any light?



Will the new product be as "value priced" as FD? If not, I probably should stock up now. Anyone know the shelf life of FD?



Thanks,

Not completely discontinued, more so, renamed with a different scent. They spoke about it on Meguiarsonline.com. Shelf life should be significantly long.

Well, that`s no good. I like the current scent.

I like it too. I think it will just be lighter? Maybe the same but not so strong? I dunno... But I wouldn`t complain if they made it smell like #34. That stuff smells awesome.

sometimes i take #34 and spray it in my hands and rub it all over my body and smell it and...er...uh...was i talking out loud?

That`s too funny...



But I hear you... #34 Smells great!

#34 does have a great smell. JCrawford you need to get out more often. LOL

Well, just to be safe, I ordered 2 gallons of FD, 1 gallon of Citri-Gel and 1 gallon of Engine Kote since they are all going to be (or maybe that should read "have been") discontinued.



Granted Final Detail is supposed to be repackaged with a lighter scent as "Last Touch", I believe, but no one has indicated that the price would be as good as it currently is, and I kinda like the scent it has today.



Anyway - just got the shipment today - $63.45 shipped for the four gallons, not too bad in my book!



Thanks,

Did you order directly from Meguiars?

As long as the new version works as well as the old I`ll be happy. I am curious about the pricing though, I`d hate to see it go up.



The smell FD has now is ok but it definitely gets overpowering when using it for a long period of time. I use it on my wheels and engine bay and I find when I do these areas of my car the smell gets to me.



Can it be scented like #34
