Just tried Meguiars #151.

Disclaimer: I'm not much of a photographer and I only ended up with two pictures that are even remotely usable. Sorry!



Today I decided to try out my sample of #151 I got from ADS last week. I thought my dads truck would be the perfect candidate since it's covered in moderate to severe swirls from dealer washes and him taking it to swirl-o-matics. I used it via PC with a 5" white LC pad at speed 6, working it until it cleared out then letting it haze before buffing the residue off. This stuff definitely has more cut than Poli-Seal, JW Prime, and ZAIO.

As you can see, #151 removed the majority of the swirls. You can't really tell in that picture but there are still minor swirls remaining. I don't know if #151 fills since I didn't think of doing a prep-sol wipe down until I left their house, oops. The looks remind me of #21, where as Poli-Seal and Prime have more of a 'nuba look. Overall I'm pretty impressed with this stuff and hope to use it more in the near future. Hopefully in the next couple weeks I will get the chance to give the truck a proper detail and use #151 on the whole thing. If I do I'll try to get better pictures, too!
 
that does look better. I think with orange pads you'd get even better correction. Are you gonna do the whole car cause i'd love to see some afters.
 
Yeah I'm sure I would have gotten more correction with an orange pad but I don't have enough experience with the paint to know if an orange pad would finish down acceptably. I plan on doing the whole truck soon and I'll try to get better pictures!
 
Definitely interested, looks like it would work well with my one-step clients...although I hear the protection isn't all that durable.
 
Scott, I can't comment on the durability as I have only had it in my hands for about 3 weeks. I will say that it has amazing cut for an AIO product. It is now my go to product for one steps. It has the cut of #83 if not better and leaves a shine that I can't tell from #21. One step clients tend not to care as long as the car is shiney as I'm sure you know. But it is nice to be able to leave such a nice finish in such a short amount of time. Here is a detail I did on a black Jeep with #151 if you would like to see:
