New D151 vs. Black Jeep
I have been wanting to use the new Meguiar's D151 Paint Reconditioning Creme and a couple days ago I had the perfect chance! It's an 08 Jeep Patriot that had minor to moderate swirls and some minor holograms.
It was a one step job and I usually would go right for the M66 on a car like this. I decided to try the D151 and had great results. You can't see in the after pics because of the lack of sun we ended up with but it did a great job removing the defects and didn't haze the paint at all.
The main thing that I was very impressed with was the shine it left. Much more like #21 than #66 in my opinion. Cut was also good and work time was as long as I wanted. I have since used it on 2 more cars with similar results.
This stuff is awesome
On a 300C I did just yesterday I had deeper swirls to deal with and all I did to adjust my process was to use a little more D151 and work it longer. I got some REAL cut out of it then with no hazing. I still have the option of moving to speed 5 on the PC to get more cut and have not tried it on the rotary yet.
Here are the after pics and process:
Wash with Gold Class and Microfiber Chenille Mitt
Clay with Mild clay and Quik Detailer for a lube
Applied D151 via PC and Yellow W-8006 Polishing pad on speed setting 4.0
#40 on tires
