Follow up to D166

fyane004 · Jun 10, 2021

I am interested to know if M27 can be applied, or something else to enhance the protection that the AIO will leave behind. I will use D166 with yellow foam and free orbit orbital rotor, the paint has medium and light swirls.
I have M27, M26, ULW, Gold Class, NXT 2.0, but I'm not sure if it is advisable to put something on D166, or if I will really achieve greater protection.
My sister will bring me a pearl black Impreza, the time I have is a maximum of eight hours between the application of D166 and what I put later, I reiterate, that in case it is advisable to do so.
That is my great doubt.

Thanks for the responses for coming.

•For best results:
-Meguiar’s suggests to allow D166
to cure between 12-24 hours before
topping.

•But if you only have 8 hours to allow
for curing…then, IMO, that’ll have to do.
-As an aside: I’ll wager that it’ll still
turn out fine and dandy.

You will not be getting the longevity of M27 applied over D166. I have always found M27 to be inconsistent with it's longevity anyway. D166 doesn't have the most durability either. I would just top it off with D156 and call it a day and reapply it as often as desired.

I have an unopened gallon in my arsenal. I'll try 156, thanks for the tip.

Or, IMO:
You could go with your original topping
choice of M27.

Here’s Meguiar’s description of M27:

“This all-new formula was engineered from
the ground up, delivering a brilliant gloss and
slickness and can be applied as an extremely
durable stand-alone Sealant; or applied over
another Wax, Sealant, or Paint Protection Film
for additional protection”.

As I said, I don't know what would be better, you undoubtedly have more knowledge than I do.
I will talk to my sister and tell her about her recommendations, I will try M27 on the sides, and 156 on the horizontal panels.
My damn inexperience makes me indecisive, haha.

Greetings.

(knowledge; inexperience; indecisive)

IMO:
Knowledge gained through hands-on
experiences, can only generate more
effective decisiveness.
