Is this what a "bad batch" of M21 looks like?

[35th Anniversary SS]

Well... several months ago I purchased a 12oz sample of M21 from ADS. I used it one time and it was on some heavily beaten paint. After a days worth of sun and heat exposure the dang near flawless finish became cloudy and blotchy. This was right at the same time there was word of a bad batch of M21 being released.

I havent used my M21 since then.. worried about duplicating the same issues I had on my test section on my own car.

Ive had my M21 sitting in my office in a closet.. away from heat and abnormal exposure to elements.

Those of you that had bad M21.. did it resemble this?

Seperation...






Thick and lumpy.. even after shaking thouroughly.. looks like blueberry yogurt. LOL


Before anyone freaks out... to my knowledge Meguiars has fixed this problem and please note this M21 sample Ive had is now about 4months or so out from when I got it. This batch is well beyond that age considering when it was produced. If you have some M21 thats newer then that, and doesnt look like this... its more then likely OK!

Yep, that's exactly what a "bad batch" of M21 looks like.
I had 32 oz of it - called the hotline and had a new jug shipped out, no questions asked.

Thanks.. Ill be contacting ADS. Im sure Rick will take care of me.

Rick would no doubt take care of you, but contacting Meguiars directly would probably be the best thing to do.
Good luck.

Rick at ADS is taking care of me. I really believe ADS has one of the best customer service Ive ever experienced.

Some people believe that just because their batch is lumpy and seperates, its bad. My batch is seperates, but turns out just fine after I shake it.
