We all know that products come and go, and sometimes good products just don't sell well enough to stay on the markets. Others might get axed because of things like VOC regulations. I know that Megs #16 and Pinnacle Paste Glaz are missed, but what are some others you miss?

Personally, I miss the NXT car wash and metal polysh. The wash was very strong and slick and I appreciated the water softeners since my water is ridiculously hard. The metal polysh was also real impressive and got plenty of use around the house.
 
Yeah those was some good products thought manufactures think that discounting the best products is the better move for the company but in reality its not most of the time, another missed product is meguiars d103(1 gallon orange apc) even though you can find it sometime its still very missed
 
From around 30 years ago.

Harly Wax. Nothing to do with the motorcycle Co either.

It was just a clean mostly Carnuba wax in a can. Very inexpensive too. And it lasted a good long time.

And this is not a car detailing product. But I miss Daeco race gas, I was able to buy it right at the refinery in San Pedro and I would bring home a few 55 gallon drums of it. 108 octane with PLENTY of lead in it. I think back in the day I was paying $2.50 a gallon for it.
Their refinery is long gone now. And so is Gasoline Alley on Western, or maybe it was Normandie. It's where Simpson safety Products first started out.
 
3M Fill N' Glaze (the pink stuff that looked like Pepto Bismol)

Haha, my dad loves this stuff. Before they quit selling it he bought a case off ebay.
The stuff always seemed pretty harsh to the user. Anyone know why they quit selling it? I wonder if the state of California found it caused cancer?

Also, old school "Blech-Whit." The 'new' formula doesn't even come close to the 'real' stuff.

Yes, but Tuf Coat tire cleaner is darn close !!
Might need a little more elbow grease, but the results are just as good.

They still make harly wax google it

$20 a can
 
I miss the old formula of brasso, for me it was great metal polish. The newer cream formula just isn't the same..
 
Wet Glaze 2.0 as well. I have one bottle under lock and key in a bank safe deposit box only to be opened by my family when I'm gone. Yeah, its that special.

But seriously, I use it for car shows. One of a kind product often imitated but never duplicated

I agree, the new formula doesn't come close to the older version.

Why mess up a good thing?

Boy do I agree. I have a nearly full bottle and cherish it. It makes my Blizzard White Pearl paint look like no other....blinding in the sun.
