I have noticed that 3M is agressively bring their products onto the retail shelves at Zeller's(Like a Canadian K-Mart/Walmart). It does not look like they will stand a chance against all the glitzy packaging of the other brands, but their price is well below other brands so it might work. I noticed they had a Liquid Show Car Wax, Gloss Enchancer, Tire Dressing and Leather Conditioner and a whole sleuth of sponges, MFs. I would have picked up their paste Show Car Wax, but they didn't have any :(



How does these products perform ?



Anyone seen this ?

Well their stuff has always been available at automotive parts stores in the states but when I was in Toronto a few weeks back I didn't see any 3M stuff at Canadian Tire.



I actually have the bottle of wax pictured (from back in the day before I was an Autopian :) ). I've been using it as a winter wax although I may try the paste this year.
 
There's no way someone not in the know is going to choose a product with that packaging over something like say Turtle Wax Ice or NXT

Y? I admit 3m isn't big on flashy packaging. But one has to also remember they as a company aren't geared towards retail but more professional. They should put the retail stuff in another packaging. Something with a little more panash.
 
Because packaging has appeal on the general consumer, as made evident by just about every single product on any shelf. Someone that doesn't know brand names and their reputations is going to choose what immediately appeals to them.
 
Actually the new label is more ugly than the one posted, I thought it was a no name brand till I looked closer, its the same product number 39026 though, but I was surprised with the price of $7.29CAD which was even cheaper than NuFinish at $8.99CAD. It looked creamy white and there were white stains on the black cap, so I guess it would stains black trims ...does it ?
