    Why did AG discontinue Ultimate Fast Finish?

    I've been researching and this was a highly recommended product that supposedly is super easy to use and lasts a year. Why was it discontinued? But they still have Meguiar's Paint Protect that no one seemed to like from previous threads.

    I was just trying to make sure there wasn't a bad reason for AG to discontinue it. I guess not, might have to get a can from somewhere else.

    Meguiar's will only have it at select retailers. You can read into that they are moving away from offering that product. I bet the only retailers that still have it are the ones that choose not to carry their newest Hybrid Paint Coating.

    Fast Finish likely will not last 1 year either. They came to that number because there were traces of it left after a 52 wash laboratory test.

    You might get 6 months out of it. But with how easy it is to apply you could apply every couple of months and have continuous coverage.

    I gave away my can after using it a couple times. I think Opti-seal worked a little better but nothing about the protection was really exciting. Self cleaning and making washing easier are important factors to me and it just didn't impress.

    Meguiar's only 1 year protection product is Hybrid Paint Coating. Also in an aresol can but a completely different product. And no one knows if it'll go a year yet. But we're going too find out.

    I used it a couple of months ago from the can I bought from around the time it was originally released and it didn’t even bead 5 days later. And that car had only been parked in my driveway the whole time.

    I'm assuming if Meguiar's Paint Protect is not discontinued then it must be better. I remember that being all the rage when it came out. I think it is more of a sheeting sealant and people didn't like it because they wanted beads.

    I thought it was a great product, and did see beading for multiple months. But the vehicle I had it on was traded within 3-4 months of applying.
