I haven't outright stopped using them, but I was disappointed enough in the new labeling to not invest in more of their product, and concentrate on Meguiar's and Rupes polishes.
Aside from that, the Meguiar's is just so much easier for me to use. The Rupes polishes are nice too, but not as easy to wipe off as the Meguiar's.
Good news is that I still have a LOT of Menzerna, and if I find bottles of the last labeling, I buy them.

My feeling is the charts are all over the place but 3500 is still the best finishing polish out there. The cars just shine after using it. Especially black. Then 3800 is also the best jeweling polish out there. It doesn't have the cut of 3500 obviously but it doesn't have to. It's the perfect maintenance polish for cars that are in incredible condition.

Menzerna is only good at making buffing liquid!!!
They are NOT good at:
Consistent labeling practices
Descriptions
Simplifying names of products
CHARTS
Their charts have been so confusing for years and never made sense. The current one is the closest to making sense....

Exactly right.
Maybe they don't care about a new influx of followers (i.e. newbies, which equals more income).
I did a TON of reading on here before pulling the trigger on my initial set up. Menzerna was certainly near the top of my list.
However, the charts threw me off (WAY off) and are still confusing to this day. I instead chose other products that have clear-cut descriptions and are even color-coded to their respective pads. (To start).
Again, if Menzerna were even the least bit clear in their "charts", they might find a few more detailing dollars from the masses. JMO
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

Re: SF3500 and SF3800--What Happened?
I’ve always loved Menz products. I never used 3800 much as I found it good for jeweling and not much more, but 3500, wow. A Goldilocks polish for me, just right cut-great shine. I have shifted to Jescar Compound over Menz 400. Jescar Compound is easier to wipe off and gives just as much cut and gloss as 400. I’ve got most of the other Menz mid range polishes and though I don’t use them regularly I know they are there and will do their job on finicky paints. The thing with Menz is you have to work them since they are diminishing abrasives. People coming over from Meguires just don’t “get” Menz polishes. There is a learning curve with Menz.
