I wanted to add to this thread.

Today, I just used D151 on my 01' Lexus. I applied the wax by hand. Took approximately 4 hours to apply and remove by myself. I wasn't able to take any pictures, as it was getting late and too dark to take good photos.

My car's finish did not have a lot of scratches or swirls to begin with, so I wanted to try this out to just get a good coat of wax on the car to begin with. It was easy to apply when done with a thin coating. I found that at times if I put too heavy an application on the paint it was harder to buff off. I did panels and sections at a time, letting the product dry fully and buffed off 10-15 minutes later.

I used a Meg's yellow foam pad. Important: you must occasionally wipe the pad off with a cloth (MF or terry, I used a MF cloth) to prevent dry wax flakes on the edges of the pad from getting onto the pad itself. If you get any dry wax onto the pad and then onto the surface of the paint it is harder to buff off. I used up/down, left to right application.

Be careful not to get any d151 onto the black trim of your vehicle, as it is hard to remove.

I realize this is a product for the Detailer line, and it's intended use is for body shops and dealerships that need an AIO to save time. I equate this product to Meg's cleaner wax. I am impressed with the results, but would probably stick to the cleaner wax in the future.

One big plus: Did an awesome job on headlight, fog light and rear plastic coverings! Optical clarity is very much improved!

Sorry I did not post these up sooner. But, here it goes. Please keep in mind the entire car was done by hand.

I look forward in seeing the car pics! And too old for detailing?? Never!

I just wanted to point out that D151 is very different than Meguiar's Cleaner Wax. As I mentioned in my review at the beginning of this thread, the product uses a unique and an Advanced Unigrit Technology for fast and level cutting of the paint’s surface. It can be applied by Rotary, by Dual Action Polishers and by Hand. The level of aggressiveness places it somewhere between Meguiar’s M83 Dual Action Cleaner Polish and Meguiar’s Solo Cut and Polish Cream. In other words, it has the ability to remove fairly deep swirls and scratches.

Even though it is a powerful all-in-one (much much stronger than the Cleaner Wax), for a person just wanting a light cleaning with wax protection, there are more suitable choices like ColorX, Meg's Cleaner Wax and Meg's M06 Cleaner Wax. Any of these will clean the paint and leave a beautiful protective finish behind. But with D151 and the new abrasives, it is geared more towards, IMO, the person who has paint with moderate swirling/marring and will most likely be using a machine for application. Moreover, I have found with this product that one needs to really work it and by hand, that may become tedious.

D151 is an excellent product and one that I use a lot of, but it has its place and purpose. But if you want to get the best out of it (and many other products for that matter), I would suggest getting a G-110! It will make your life a whole lot easier!

Cheers!

I did!

Moderator, please note that I am going to be adding pictures to my original post today. Can you remove the time limitations on my earlier post of #210?

Seth, yes, a 110 or 7424 is in my future. I'm getting too old for this

Call me when you're 50+!

Just put your pictures in a new reply to this thread.

Why not do the whole car at once?

Re: *New* Meguiar's D151 Paint Reconditioning Cream Review!!!

Just got my gallon of D151 last night from ADS. Cannot wait to try this stuff out! My dad has a 1994 Nissan Pickup that is going to make a great test application. I'll be sure to take some photos.

Go to "Auto Detailing Solutions" online. (just Google it)You can buy smaller sampler sizes instead of a gallon.

Re: *New* Meguiar's D151 Paint Reconditioning Cream Review!!!

I can't wait to try it. I under-wheeled my own designate drive > I'm gonna use it to fix that. I thought the #83 on a DA was gonna fix it, but not quite. All the swirls are gone I just have a rotaried haze still when I put lights on it. Looks awesome in the sunshine though! I get all kinds of compliments, but never good enough for my OCD taste. I wanna be able to spot a dime 3 blocks away in the reflection... then I might be happy.

Thanks for the advice! I've got my order in at ADS AND my makita rotary is on its way from ebay to replace my 1970's no-brander.

Re: *New* Meguiar's D151 Paint Reconditioning Cream Review!!!

It could possibly. I havn't tried it yet. Is it THAT good????

This stuff sounds too good to be true!

Use D151 as a "one-liquid" solution; get your defects out with one pad, switch to a finishing pad and your done. Final step can be done with your D.A. polisher. D151 doesn't have any trouble delivering on the shine.

I don't think it would replace a premium synthetic wax product, but for maintenance on cars you see frequently...I think it would be a good product for you.

Try it. Then you can tell us if it is THAT good.

We are hearing lots of folks saying it is THAT good. I wish I had it when I was a full time detailer!
