Anyone excited for the new Meguiar/s 2011 products?

On the new DA polishing system....I can't comment yet, cos my gut feel tells me this product might contain lots of hiding/camouflaging abilities. On soft clears, it might be OK....but on hard clears..mmmmm.

Just out of curiousity, what factors determine your gut feel for this product's hiding/camo? Just pictures on the internet, or do you see dead people? :D

Most of Meguiars' polishes and compounds hide/camouflage a certain degree of swirls. Even the expensive 205 covers up lots of things. 105 too. Swirl X also. So far, Meguiars has not convinced me by having a product that removes a certain degree of defects with 100% no cover-ups. Using this line of reasoning, I hv no reason to get excited YET over the new DA polishing system unless I've tested it.



At this juncture, with the DA system, my gut-feel is all I have, as do you, .........and I have no idea how to see dead people by using gut-feel.

Meguiars should stop blindly introducing "new products" just for the sake of having new stuff on the shelf. Even if these new 2011 SKUs sell like hotcakes...it's not necessarily a good thing because it might be cannibalising the sales from the OLDER SKUs - buyers of older products merely "convert" from the old to the new ones. Meguiars shd be launching truly innovative and EFFECTIVE stuff to attract and retain NEW users.



If I'm Meguiars, I'll stop to think strategically, conduct lots of market research, find out WHAT do people want from their polishes, waxes etc, develop totally new ground-breaking formulations, TEST them extensively vs competitors stuff for at least 6mths,....and then start getting excited about a product launch.



If they did that what would the product collectors do for entertainment? Read through enough posts here and you will quickly see that there are many here that live for putting product on their shelves so they can look at them. Meguiars can see this to.

Innovative stuff to really get excited about from Meguiars:

1. Coating for worn out, faded trims (min 6mths durability)

2. Coating for paintwork...that's simple to use with no curing problems and durable out to at least 9mths)

3. A tyre coating that retains a black, glossy look for at least 3mths, thru all kinds of weather.



U don't need loads of "nearly-the-same" products.

U just a need a few truly new innovative products, and you'll capture loads of incremental volume share and value share. Your revenue per SKU also goes up.

Do not know about products outside these two(except D-151 which is a 1 step product which does slight correction and protection)but when you said 205 fills and 105 too................... that is foilhat territory and I am at a loss on how something said could be be so opposite of well known fact.



What products in these two(105/205) cause the filling?, as I do paint correction almost every single day and have for years, and when these products were introduced I did all the IPA wipedowns/distilled water/etc.... checked under multiple lighting sources and doing maintenance corrections and details on Jet Black Ceramic paints(hard not soft paint Ferrari/Porsche/Merc/Lambo)that so during the wash I would subsequently remove the LSP thus exposing holograms and other defects I had filled in if that was the case............... and it is not.



The internet is has become "The Venue" to say and do anything you want irregardless of facts well known and not so well known, and it is tiresome to see over and over.



INTERNET= "Garbage in, garbage out".
