As a several decade long lover of Meg's products, I looked forward to this introduction, as I do every year. Up until today, each year I have found some products that had me anxiously awaiting their availability. But this year is different. I really didn't see any product that I am dying to get my hands on and only one or two that I'd like to try.
Let me explain my sour grapes opinion.
- Rinse Free Express Wash is an interesting product but I already find Last Touch performs very well for this so unless it knocks my socks off this might not do it for me. I'll likely try it though
- Hot Rims All Wheel and Tire cleaner is also interesting but I only chemically clean my wheels and tires once a year. The rest of the year I use car wash soap and a brush so as not to remove my wheel sealant as chemical cleaners certainly do. I take my wheels off the car each spring and clean, polish and seal, so this would be a step backward for me.
- Hot Rims Brake Dust Barrier also sounds good but I wash my wheels and tires weekly and I apply QWD to the wheels after each wash so I have little need for barrier product as QWD already does that for me. I never have brake dust issues.
- Synthetic Xpress liquid wax is a neat product but I already use the Synthetic Xpress Spray Wax and for my sealant, I use ULW or M21 and don't see a need a Detailer Line gallon of this product. Wax/sealants goes a long way and a gallon of any wax would last me a lifetime. I use about a half an ounce of product to wax or seal a car and already have enough waxes and sealants to last me a lifetime.
- Gold Class Premium Quik Detailer is fine but I already use and love Synthetic Spray Detailer, M135.
- Gold Class Carnauba Plus Quik Wax also sounds fine but I have no need for it in my workflow. I already have too large a supply of wax and sealants.
- Quik Wax, I have no interest in this product as I use Synthetic Xpress Spray Wax D156.
- Perfect Clarity Glass Cleaner also sounds interesting but I already use a great glass cleaner in Megs Detailer Line concentrate. I buff with D156 after cleaning which leaves the same slick polymer action so while I'm not overly excited about this product, I will likely try it sooner rather than later.
- Ultimate Wash and Wax Anywhere sounds like it would work well for me during the winter months and is the only product from this 2012 announcement that strikes me as something really I want to try now if not sooner.
Sadly, for me, none of these new products come close to impacting me as much as the DA MicroFiber kit has. I was hoping for some really breakthrough products from Megs like a Paint Coating system or a new DA buffer.
As often is the case with Megs products, my opinion of them usually changes with their use, so I still hold out hope that my initial assessment is off the mark. In the mean time, my credit card is going back onto my wallet.
SIGH!
