I purchased a gallon of 151 and must say that it has worked well o
PHP:
n a few quick cleanups I have done recently, my question is about its thickness out of the container. This stuff is THICK! I have a hard time transfering it to a smaller container and an even tougher time getting it out of the squeeze bottle onto the pad! it is nice though because I rarely got any sling from it but man what a workout squeezing this stuff out of the bottle! Even it says to shake well but trying to shake it doesn't do much since it is thick.....

Is this normal for 151?
 
Yeah its really thick stuff, I put it in front of my halogen lights while I shake it or leave it in the sun, getting it warm helps thin it out.

David,
I picked up a gallon of the D151 as well for some production detailing work.What are you using to apply to your pads with?

Thanx Much!
 
I put mine in a regular squeeze bottle. The transfer is tricky, but given how thick the D151 is, I can usually control it. I thought I saw somewhere a spout for the 1 Gallon containers, I think it was a product SKU like MDSpout
 
I bought a 32 oz. sample of D151 and was dissapointed with it. By hand and by machine it just didn't play right with me. It is too thick for my liking and didn't spread very well.

I'm looking for a one step sealer and cleaner and I'm looking at Finish Kare 215 and XMT 360. Hopefully these two will fare better with me than D151.

I put a nozzle on the gallon jug and transfer it to a flexible squeeze bottle similar to what beauticians use. The flexable bottle makes it easy to apply to the pads
 
D151 is a great product. I've been using it for over a year solidly now and love it. Correction is good and the protection is decent. I now use it with Megs new synthetic spray wax.

It's the best one stepper out there for me.

Those bottles work good but i have found some 8oz squeeze bottles at Walmart in the cake decorating section that are extreamly flexible.
 
I like the D151 for a one stepper. I usually buy smaller than the gallon size though as I do not have the volume for a gallon
 
I'm a big PRC user myself. But I must admit I only used it with a Lake Country white or orange pad. Recently I saw a video of someone using it with a wool pad on a Makita! The results looked awesome in the video.

How many of you guys have been that aggresive with it?

Humm ill have to look into that...thanks!
 
Meguiar's D151 works very well for be with both wool and foam pads. Personally, I like the thick viscosity and to make it easier to use I transfer it to those 8oz squeeze bottles Autogeek sells.

The Meguiar's D151 is directly behind the 3 bottles shown.

This is actually my preferred method and the combination I use. It's very easy to use this way and speeds things up. I also use it on my dual action machines but it's right at home on the rotary...:props:
 
I put it in a dispenser just like BobbyG posted and don't have a problem. I actually like its thickness :shrug:
 
I've also been using 151 for over a year now. at the dealership level it's a great one step product for light to medium defects. I have found I get the best results using it with a wool pad on the rotary.
 
I really need to place another order. All this talk about D151 is making me jealous that I haven't tried it out yet.
 
Its good stuff. On a D/A with an orange LC hydro tech it removes swirls and some deeper stuff pretty easily. Best part is it finishes nice as well.
