Here's what you have to realize about a company like Meguiar's. Unlike a lot of companies that you will read about on these boards, Meguiar's actually manufactures what they sell. They are not some boutique brand that gets their base product from another manufacturer and then adds their 2 cents, they MAKE every polish, compound and wax that they sell. That means that they have a research and development department. They take the time to test, redevelop and improve everything that they make. To not do so allows your company to get stale and that's how you get passed up by your competition. A good example of that is Motorola.

There was a time when Motorola didn't do two things. They didn't make commercials and they didn't discount their phones to employees. Guess what happened. The competition started making funny commercials and affordable phones. So affordable that Motorola employees started buying them (I know... I use to work for Motorola). Now you can't name 3 of your friends who have Motorola phones. That's because Motorola, the 800 pound gorilla sat anywhere it wanted to for way too long and the little chimps named Samsung and Nokia ate their lunch. Now Motorola, the 800 pound gorilla is has practically sold off their cell phone division because they couldn't turn a decent profit. That's what happens when you get stale. Meguiar's is smart enough to learn from Motorola and the Swiss. The Swiss use to make 89% of the watches sold in the world. How many people do you know who are wearing a Swiss made watch right now?

Constant development does one thing for your company. It keeps you fresh and on your toes. It's a jungle out there in business land and there's always a few chimps just waiting for you to take a nap.

I understand what your saying but here is my thoughts. When you have something that works a customer will return for more. When you keep flooding the market with "new formula" one starts to think why! Mequires is a big company, yes they have alot of stuff but everyone ive talked to about detailing i always here the same thing. Why do they have a billion different compounds and this and that! idk..... i dont care what the name is. if it works and has results leave it at that. just remember with good customer service and products that work you will have a customer for life!

There's nothing wrong with finding something that you like and mastering it. I promote the same thing. However, some people find it easier to get the results that they want using combination A of a product line, as others find it best for them to use combination B of the same product line. Having a choice can be an advantage. One, it's a preference thing and two, it's a technique thing. Meguiar's makes polishes and products that can be used with a rotary polisher for professionals, a dual-action polisher for the intermediate detailer and a orbital polisher for the beginner. They also make products for the individual who wants to work by hand. Add the development of the microfiber buffing pads and all of a sudden, you have a mess load of products on the market. As an end user, you don't have to use or try everything that they put out, just find and use what works for you. If you feel like broadening your horizons, they will always have something new for you to try.

Here's one way to look at it. There is a car on the market that gets better gas mileage than any other car on the market right now. Everyone likes to get great gas mileage, however, everyone might not care for that particular car. Thus, there are other choices on the market that you can buy and still get great gas mileage. Do all the choices cause you a headache? No, because you like having choices. Detailers feel the same way. Imagine how much business Meguiar's gets by being flexible with what they have to offer. Since they are picking up new customer literally every day, offering various methods of paint correction is a win-win for them. It can be very, very confusing to the novice detailer who just overwhelms themselves by trying to take in the entire line but that when guys like me who show you just one method and selection of products to use come in handy. You don't have to get lost in all the products that they offer, just use what I use in my videos and call it a wrap.
