What is it and for what reason? I ask cause I don't have much experience with them and looking to purchase one in the very near future. I'm a Meg's Mirror Glaze line fanboy so I thought about trying the one from that line or D151. I really want to try the D151 but don't need a gallon of it just to try. I'm open to suggestions!
 
D151 is more of a polish with very light wax protection. Most other AIO's are more of a wax with very light cleaning ability. If you want a sample, shoot me a message and i'll send a free sample to you. (OP only)
 
The D151 does have some correcting abilities, so easy to use, man you could knock out a large car fast with good results.
It wipes off so easy too, easy as a wax, not a polish.

Don't let the hand lotion look fool you:)
I'm ordering a gallon of it, Cardaddy sent me a sample and that was it Jack. Lol
Hooked!
 
Optimum GPS or HD Speed. Usually gravitate more towards speed on darker vehicles and GPS on heavily damaged because of the glazing abilities.
 
I hear way to many good things about D151! I had 2 others in mind and they were Klasse and Optimum GPS. I'm glad you replied with some input on it VP Mark.
 
I really like Blackfire Total Polish & Seal. Works really good for minor correction (corrected alot more than I was expecting). Left a great shine behind. I topped with a coat of CG Butter Wet Wax and the vehicle turned out awesome!
 
XMT 360 and Mother's cleaner wax. 360 just does what the label says, cleans, corrects, and seals. And does it well IMO. Does wonders on SS paint, and the sealant will protect for months. And with proper technique 360 does require a wipe off. Mother's cleans really well, and glosses the paint up, while leaving a good layer of wax that actually protects for a bit.
 
The only AIO I've used is the Sonax NTPC.

It works good and makes a decent improvement on very soft dark paints...probably more of a filler than actual removal of defects....but it works well. I'd never use that on a light color though as it would be a waste of time.
 
I dont do AIO anymore... but if I had to pick, Klasse AIO was great. Werkstat Prime & Prime Strong as well.
 
Just read over on the meguiars forum that white wax is on par with D151.

Same. Id rather one step with PF2500 by Menzerna and add a coat of a durable spray sealant like deep gloss from Wolfgang. Takes 20 more mins than AIO and looks 20x better

I go for quality now over speed, so however many different polishes I have to use to get there, that's what I use. Each car is different, so what maybe a one step polish on one car maybe a 5 step on another.

I have some laying around from when I didn't know as much...a bottle of Zymol and maybe some Megs too. I used the Zymol on a small section recently, 'cause I was lazy. But it did not clean well enough, so I did a full wash/clay/polish/wax shortly afterwards.
 
You guys are awesome, thanks for the input! I've tried the cheaper stuff from the box stores and a normal wax works just as well. I have a friend that does detailing on the side and he uses XMT 360 and swears by it. Sounds like I may just have to get a couple products and try them out and see what I think about them.
 
It sort of depends....

Meguiar's D151 is a truly great product. It corrects, contains some mild fillers and leaves a protectant behind.

Duragloss 105 & 601 are two more superb products. Duragloss 601 seems to have better correction and cleaning abilities that Duragloss 105 but by only a slim margin. Both Duragloss 106 & 601 leave a much longer lasting protectant behind that Meguiar's D151. Meguiar's D151 fills minor surface imperfections where Duragloss 105 & 601 don't seem to...


  1. Meguiar's D151
  2. Duragloss 601
 
IME:
Duragloss #601 [Polish Bonding Agent (PBA)] is not a very effective AIO.
