How does this compare to #66 quik detailer?
I use #66 quite a bit and was wondering if this is about the same or if not what are the differences.

I forgot the obvious...Can the older model G-100 work it satisfactorily?

Sure...no problem. The G100 will work just fine with the D151.

The new D151 uses the new Super-Micro Abrasive technology which means it cuts very well but finished out beautifully! The D151 is more aggressive than M66, as it is between M83 and M86 (Solo).

I have used a lot of M66 Quick Detailer (Quik Detailer is the QD spray and not the one step wax), but the more I use the D151 the more I like it!

Thats good to know, our Neon is very high maintenance and ColorX doesn't "cut" it. I may switch to that as my inbetween detail swirl buster.

Thanks for the information.

Tim, you mentioned both DA and Rotary . . . if used with a Rotary, what RPM setting would you recommend? And, based on the cut with DA/8000 pad, would it be best to use 8000 pad with rotary as well?

BTW, great review and wonderful results!

Look forward to hearing more about this product and working it in to the business . . . after I finish off my gallon of M66!

I am sure Tim will chime in, but here are some thoughts....

It is always tough to say what is best...

Best is be dictated by the condition of the car, how much time you wish/can spend on it, and what the expectations of the car owner are....

With that said....

RPM speed could be as low as 1000 or as high as 2000. Just depends on how the bad the paint is and what your trying to do.

That also holds true for pads also...Wool for moderate to bad paint, foam for not so bad paint.

And always try least aggresive first. I'm a chicken, so I start with PC/8006 and move up to rotary with 8006 if PC can't handle it. I used a wool pad on a rotary just once.

Preparation is key.

Thanks Tim for this great write up.

I read somewhere in the forum you can get deffirent results by using deffirent Pads and application method..

Did you use it as cleaner wax? or you used the deffirent Pads?

Nice job, though.

Thanks again

With the rotary, I would use it at around 1300-1500 rpm with a W-8006 polishing pad for moderate defect removal. But like Mike mentioned, it depends heavily on the way the paint behaves/reacts. D151 cuts really well, so I would suggest using it with the G-110 first and then moving to the rotary if needed.

I did try it with both polishing and finishing pads. In most cases, it polished out so well with the W-8006 Polishing Pad, I really did not need to follow it with the W-9006 Finishing Pad, though I did as I wanted to see just how fine the product would polished down to...and I was amazed!

I know! It's just everytime you recommend something to me, I seem to lose money! Still need to pick up some M03 from the last recommendation.

I think I get the drift of that one. Have you ever heard this one?
"With all these boxes and boxes of tools you can't get the old part off? You HAVE to have another wrench thingie !! ??"

(I really did need a crows foot)

I think I need the D151 to do a friends paint abused truck. It is swirl-city, and he most likely will continue to wash it from a garbage can filled with whatever soap happens to be around the house.
