  • Sorry Meguiar's, one of your products will be taken out of my van....

    ...and replaced by D151!

    I got a chance to play with D151 for a couple of minutes today, and thought I'd share some of my thoughts on this product.

    First thing I noticed, this stuff is THICK! When I say thick, I mean I have to keep it upside down when it's in my apron. If I don't, it'll take me a few seconds to squeeze it out of the bottle. Funny thing is, even with no cap on the bottle and being upside down inside my apron, it won't leak out

    2nd, you have the ability to work this stuff forever! Not sure how long before it's completely broken down, but it stays wet plenty long enough to make multiple passes!

    3rd, and this may be just me own personal experience, it doesn't like a lot of pressure. It seems to work better with light to no pressure at all.

    And finally, it works! It doesn't replace my rotary buffer, but it's definitely going to compete with #80, and blows away #66. I can definitely see using this after some rotary work, and leaving it at that. That takes 1 complete step out of my routine! Thats at least 1 hour worth of work this product has the potential to save me!!!! <---Nick likes this deal

    I did a small section on the van. The van is my most neglected vehicle. About the only thing I get to do to it is a good wash every so often. Here's a test spot I did on the hood. I taped off, clayed, apply D151 via PC on speed #5....here are the results...




    As you can see, it will remove the light swirls and make the paint a little more reflective(look at the tree in the reflection).

    So #66 will be coming out of my van. Sorry Meg's



    Now I gotta do the rest of the van

    Good to hear! I just got a gallon on Tuesday but haven't had a chance to use it yet. Maybe I will play around with it a little tonight.


    What is that on the left side? A UFO possibly?

        Why oh why do you guys do this to me.

        You know my wife is like Stalin and getting more product in the house could lead to my premature demise... but after a review like that... how can I stay away?

              I thought it had more corrective ability than that?

              Isn't it meant to be stronger than #83?

              What did you use and which pad?

                I only got to use it this one time, on this one vehicle. Every paint is different.
                I used yellow 8006 pad via PC on speed 5. Worked it about 4 passes, and this was the result. In my opinion, it did very well for a wax. Do you not agree?

                  I have mine but haven't had a chance to use it yet. I'm going to be using it with a rotary.

                    It certainly removed the swirls in your photo. I was referring more to your comparisons you made to other polishes.

                    I sounds to me like D151 is more an aggressive polish containing wax, rather than a wax with some polishing ability.

                    it doesn't like a lot of pressure. It seems to work better with light to no pressure at all.
                    Why did you feel this way?

                      Because it didn't do as much on this vehicle with heavy pressure. It worked better with light pressure.

                        I noticed the same. I did half my hood last night in the 15 minutes of free time I had. It worked VERY well. Hopefully I will get to do the rest of the truck this weekend and actually take some pictures.
                        If its fast, loud, and runs on a flammable liquid...count me in.

                            Wow, great review Nick. I have been very happy with the results from #66. It looks like another new product in my arsenal. Thanks again for the review.
