Missing favorites

[megasod]

I was checking out a special cloth I own, it's hard to find now, almost suede-like. It made me think of other discontinued favorites, like the Deltalyo SIM 180 polisher and Autofinesse Tough Coat. What products have you loved but can't get anymore? I am always curious what others miss too

It's always a bummer when they stop making your faves! Chemical Guys' old V36 paste wax and Meguiar's #26 Yellow Wax? Those were the real deal. Sometimes when they redo stuff, it just doesn't have that same magic.

Detailing brands deliberately discontinue beloved products to push new lines, exploiting hype cycles; half the time replacements perform worse, proving the industry thrives more on marketing churn than actual innovation or longevity

Yeah right, when brands update formulas, the replacements rarely capture the same magic. It feels like performance gets sacrificed for marketing or regulations, and those classics are tough to replace

That's spot on, too often it feels like hype drives the industry more than real progress. Some new products feel like watered-down versions of the old legends we actually miss
