Re: How thin is too thin? Ultimate Compound
Batch Number L82018318 for the one I had when it was bad.
But in all honesty folks.....
Let's not get carried away turning all our bottles around and look for numbers!
When I was contacted about the batch number on my bottle, I think Tom wanted to look into the whole picture:
When it was made
What shift
When it was shipped
Who shipped it
When did it arrive
What were the conditions when it was shipped.
There may be a few factors as to why a product goes bad besides a batch itself going bad. Freezing, excessive heat, BOTH! Sitting in a hot warehouse then shipping where it freezes or a freezing retailer stores' warehouse then going on the shelves etc.!
So don't panic if you get a bottle with a suspected batch number!
A bottle of most of Meguiar's products should feel like lotion of some kind (hand lotion). SwirlX is somewhat thicker and pure polish in my experience is thinner and the new SMAT products seem a tad bit thicker than M80 say.....
I don't want Meguiar's customer support getting a gazzillion calls for suspected "bad" numbers! We don't need that. Get a bottle, give a shake, if it feels like lotion, throw it in the cart under the TP so the wifey/girlfriend etc don't get mad
.
Happy Detailing!
