What Is Your Favorite Discontinued Meguiar's Product?

[Calais]

Now that I've started to amass a pretty respectable collection of discontinued Meguiar's products I felt that I should ask what you guys think is your favorite discontinued Meguiar's product, what is your favorite use for it and do you think it will be a part of what 2010 has to offer? I'm especially interested in the responses that the mods/admins may have as they work for Meguiar's.

I personally LOVE my Safe D-Greaser, it is so good for sensitive wheels and door jambs. Sometimes I even use it on heavily soiled interior surfaces as an APC. I really want to find another gallon before I run out of the one I have.

M16 is an absolute staple in my detailing business and my LSP of choice on corrected paint work. I have 13 tins so I don't have to worry about running out anytime soon; in words of Mike Stoops: "you're never going to use that in your lifetime".

Although my experience is limited with MPPP, I am very interested in it as a "beauty wax" as I've heard good things about its darkening abilities and I want to know more about its anti-static properties. I have two bottles, one unopened, and I'm trying to ration them.

The brushes!!! Loved them, all them served a great purpose and were well built.

Other than that I would have to say I haven't missed too many products, I always stock up before they go out and most have a very similar equivalent or better.

NXT Generation Tire Cleaner and the brushes.

Was never really a fan of M16. I have one tin and it just collects dust.

Medallion Premium Paint Protection

I love the smell, I love the gloss, I love the durability. I have one bottle that I'm rationing - I only use it for special occasions and only on the Silverish Green 300C as I find that it's effects are best on light metallic/pearl colors. I don't bother with it on my black Porsche.
I've recently discovered that Menzerna FMJ is every bit as good (better, IMO) and readily available though. I'll likely keep my bottle of MPPP around for a few years though, and I'll be very disappointed when it's empty.

Meguiar's Extra

It was available OTC, quite cheap and no dilution necessary. That's the only product I ever used to clean up my engine bay. I emptied the stocks in 2 stores when I learned it was on the way out. I have 2 bottles left. I wonder what I will use after them.

Also, what product is it most like? MPPP?

C30-Mike: I've got one bottle of MPPC left just opened it two days ago. What exactly do you use it for? Mike Stoops told me its cut rate was between DC1 and SwirlX, that is not very strong. No doubt it is probably a very good product but what makes it so special?

The ones I miss:

Rawhide interior aerosol spray protectant
Poly Wash (early 1980's)
Deep Crystal Car Wash (late 1980's - it was Meguiar's premium car wash)

A few questions Tim:
Hyperdressing isn't a good enough substitute for Engine Kote?
How does M38 match up with other dressings?
Isn't Final Detail like Last Touch?
Difference between old APC/APC+ formulas and current ones?
What makes the Meg's body brush better than a California Duster?

Thanks.

I don;t know if this is true, but I heard someone say they may begin making the brushes again.
