This may seem a little paranoid(sp), but is this the new wrapping for the 85rd. The bottle in the store section looked different when I made my purchase 6 months ago. Can anyone verify?

Not quite sure what you're getting at, but if I look at 85rd in the store, it has the same label.

Menzerna Polish PO85RD

Are you referring to the label not being 100% smooth, with wrinkles? Or....?
 
I think there were different labels. I remember it being different a few years ago too. Doing a google search I found these two labels.

Digging around a little more I found out that PO85rd use to share the same bottle as PO85u, as well as the same name(final finish) until they changed it. If you noticed, PO85rd now has the name micro polish, but Menzerna too has another polish that has the name micro polish(PO87mc.) Its all very confusing.

That is an older bottle of 85rd, the label has changed to the more colorful one.
 
This is a bottle I got from AG a couple of months ago, Looks the same as yours. Is this old stock?

I don't know when the change happened.
 
Menzerna labels are known to change, and often! Makes it fun for our web guy to keep up!
 
I wouldn't worry about it. It's certainly not old stock - we move quite a bit of the stuff. :)
 
Just check the bottom of the bottle for the production date. I'm under the impression that Menzerna has swithced their labels to the new colorful ones.

Meghan/Matt - are you guys still getting shipments of Menzerna with the old style labels? I remember the last bottle of 85rd I picked up from you had the old label when the new label had already been released. Just wondering?
 
Yeah, check the bottom for a sticker that looks like a price tag. That's a month/date of production. I think Menzerna recommends a 2-yr shelf life, though I'm sure I've held on to some past that. That style label is an older style, but that doesn't necessarily mean the product is old.

I can't find a production date code on mine. Meghan, Matt, or Dewayne could you please look into this after the holidays and let us know? Thank you as always!

I don't have a sticker but my bottle says 1969 on the bottom! LOL

Unfortunalty so true... the 250bottle for Final and Nano finish have the same Final Finish label to keep things simple... UHUH... lol
 
i wish menzerna would put number of how agressive polish is couse its kinda hard to compare that scale thing. they do have numbers on their pdf polish list. its a lot more usefull.
maybe different packing for different countries?
 
While the Meguiar's labeling system also causes some confusion at least in the Pro line it's pretty consistent across the board.

I'd really like to see Menzerna copy a least a portion of the Meguiar's labels and incorporate some of their designs into the Menzerna labels.

  • A scale on the front.
  • A uniform part number would be good.
  • A descriptive name that included what the product was, i.e. compound, cleaner/polish or glaze.
  • Picture on the front of how best results are achieved, for example if best results are achieved with a rotary buffer then do like Meguiar's did and have a pictures of a guy using a rotary buffer.
  • List specific methods of application, i.e. by hand, RB or DA or FDA

Same for 3M, their part numbers and labels to complex for the market they go into.
