    Most Missed (Discontinued) Products

    We all know that products come and go, and sometimes good products just don't sell well enough to stay on the markets. Others might get axed because of things like VOC regulations. I know that Megs #16 and Pinnacle Paste Glaz are missed, but what are some others you miss?

    Personally, I miss the NXT car wash and metal polysh. The wash was very strong and slick and I appreciated the water softeners since my water is ridiculously hard. The metal polysh was also real impressive and got plenty of use around the house.

    Yeah those was some good products thought manufactures think that discounting the best products is the better move for the company but in reality its not most of the time, another missed product is meguiars d103(1 gallon orange apc) even though you can find it sometime its still very missed

    From around 30 years ago.

    Harly Wax. Nothing to do with the motorcycle Co either.

    It was just a clean mostly Carnuba wax in a can. Very inexpensive too. And it lasted a good long time.

    And this is not a car detailing product. But I miss Daeco race gas, I was able to buy it right at the refinery in San Pedro and I would bring home a few 55 gallon drums of it. 108 octane with PLENTY of lead in it. I think back in the day I was paying $2.50 a gallon for it.
    Their refinery is long gone now. And so is Gasoline Alley on Western, or maybe it was Normandie. It's where Simpson safety Products first started out.

    Also, old school "Blech-Whit." The 'new' formula doesn't even come close to the 'real' stuff.

    Haha, my dad loves this stuff. Before they quit selling it he bought a case off ebay.
    The stuff always seemed pretty harsh to the user. Anyone know why they quit selling it? I wonder if the state of California found it caused cancer?
