I agree with you that if you make a change to a physical thingLike, say, you tune up a car's engine, then it is improved, but it is not new. Or if you replace the engine it is new, but not improved. However, if we're talking about the formula to make a brand of washing powder, we're into different territory. As soon as you make a change to improve it, it is no longer the same formula. It has become a different formula, which is new. It's also an improvement over the previous formula. Hence, new and improved.
