What's with the "3.0" nomenclature?
Can someone please elaborate on the history of the Wolfgang products and the revision numbering/nomenclature?
I believe DGPS was one the first widespread products from Wolfgang to hit the market and I seem to recall there was an initial version that came out. It may have had some issues. It later got updated and the new formula was called "3.0". I was only partially aware of what was going on at the time but thought it was odd that I didn't hear of a 2.0 (aka Mark II, rev 2). I figured maybe they had a 2nd version with only limited distribution and maybe they updated to a 3rd formula just that quickly.
Fast forward a bit and they're calling Finishing Glaze and Total Swirl Remover "3.0" as well. Hmmm... ok, presumably they updated those formulas as well, but again I don't recall 3 iterations, just 2. Odd.
Now, we have the brand new Uber Compound, which as far as I know has come out recenty for the first time ever, and it too is labelled............"3.0".
What gives?
(Has this become a running inside joke with the company or something?)

Accuracy in labeling seems to be lacking, companies just slap on what ever they want on the labels. They think we are dummies.

I think its about marketing. Showing that these products go together well. Aka buy them all for best finishing results. They don't want a consumer second guessing if the 3.0 is ok to use with a 2.0.

DP, Pinnacle, WG, Marine, etc..... are basically all in house brands...... or brands owned by Autogeek/PBMG.
Not really a big deal imo...... maybe just trying to bring all the products up to date as "3.0" like ^^^^ said.

Trying to follow "Wolfgang's decision" to designate their products with the: 3.0 nomenclature...
Is far easier on me than, say:
Traipsing along and trying to understand Menzerna's (seemingly) "method to their madness"
for the nomenclature of their products that they've introduced all over the Globe.
Then there's Meguiar's.
And how about those Chemical Guys!

The problem with CG is not nomenclature as such as it is redundant products
I am in the process of buying soap.
I still don't know which one I want. Lol
