Showing my age but does anyone remember this old Meguiar's 3 bottle pack that was sold at Walmart 20+/- years ago for I think $15 at the time.
Well that was years ago and I have spent the last 20 years searching for a replacement trying so many products and brands and can't find an exact replacement!

Ohh yes I have products from other brands or mixing brands that get me close but I still have the same black 30 year old Harley and something was special about the makeup of this old 3 pack. The black was just a tiny bit blacker or a tiny bit deeper with that old school product. I have contacted Meguir's and was no help...

Based on me using many Meguiars newer and professional products I can't find anything that gives the same shine..
And that shine was done by hand no pro tools required. Perhaps it had a chemical that actually worked thats now banned?

Anyone old enough to have used this three pack and any suggestions on a modern replacement?

I feel the modern replacements are perhaps not as aggressive with the modern clear coating that was not the case 25 years ago?

I haven't been on it forever. https://www.autopia.org/ might have some insights. I know they have "black" waxes that help with some things. Some of the different final gloss things add but don't last.

I recall using a liquid Gliptone thing on a black car in showroom at dealer I was working part time. It made it like 4 shades deeper black. That was also over 40 years ago.

After a while with all the correction stuff it may be getting thinner and less depth. Getting rid of swirls gets rid of paint.
