Barry Meguiar sold his Irvine car wax company Oct. 7, 2008.

So where was he on Oct. 8, 2008?

At Meguiar's headquarters, where he'd worked for most of his 66 years, of course!!!
____________________________________________________________________________________________________

Exerpted from an article by:
Leonard Ortiz,
THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER

-Oct. 7, 2008...Barry Meguiar, president and CEO of Meguiar's, Inc. decided to sell
the 100-year-old family car wax business to 3M.

What first started out as an innocent conversation on Aug. 5, 2008 between H.C. Shin,
Executive Vice President of Industrial and Transportation at 3M, and Barry Meguiar...

("I hear you're looking for a partner. If you're interested, I'm in" said Shin)...

...Was a deal that closed in 5 weeks


If you think that's extraordinary, listen to the terms:

-Meguiar is to remain president with a long-term contract
-Nothing changes about the way Meguiar's makes, markets or sells its products.
-All 120 employees keep their jobs.
-(I'd venture to guess: Upteen $$$Millions :D)


"They said Meguiar's is a recipe, not a product. It's everything from our labs to our car shows to Car Crazy
to our 2,000 partners (companies that license the product) overseas," Meguiar explains.
We now have additional resources."

-Meguiar runs his company on Proverbs 3: 5-6:

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and don't lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths."

(Meguiar figured if God wanted the company sold, He'd bring a buyer.)

"See? God was able to do exceedingly abundantly above all I could ask or think," says Meguiar, quoting Ephesians 3:20.

"I've never been as excited about my business as I am right now."

Yeah I know that. What's your point? Meguiar's still runs independently and it's still its own brand. Does it show anywhere in their logo "By 3M" or something?

This is a thread showing our loyalty to the brand Meguiar's and the products they make. If you like 3M products then that's a different story. Their products are independent of each other.

Very nice response with data to back it up Bob!!!! Thanks for sharing that tidbit. I didn't know that.

Meguiar's is what I started with and still makes up the majority of my collection.

I highly doubt they would do that since this thread isnt "Meguiar's Sponsored" let alone not on a Megs website, but who knows? I was thinking about giving away some products, afterall I do get quite the discount. Cant think of how to go about it though.

Hey Chris!! Havent seen you on for a while? Your the first forum member I met back in November when I first joined!
 
I was looking for shirts jackets hats a few months agoand they only place I found these thing was the meg UK site. I contated them and inquired about shipping to the US ans they said they didn't. I was bummed. Finding anything clothing wise in the US is a hard task.
 
Keep them coming guys!!!! More members we have, the merrier!!!

Maybe we should follow the lead of the members who posted their Meguiar's collection!
 
Late to the party, as usual, but here are some of my supplies. I'd guess about 90% Meguiar's. Add me to the list.

Would have to be Ultimate Polish & Ultimate Compound. Im not very fond of their Gold Class line products. Its all Mirror Glaze Pro or the Ultimate line for me.

I've been seeing you post in the same year when MOL was created. Your MR2 is one of the shiniest cars I've seen and that says a lot given its age. That's a testament to how well Meguiar's products work.

Please post pics of your MR2 here!!! Shine courtesy of Meguiar's!!!

Yeah I can honestly say most of all you guys woop me in the quantity and variety of Megs products. I consider myself a Meguiar's CORE fan, meaning I like their Polishes, LSP's & Pads. Everything else I have other brands that I prefer.
