New Product Announcement! D151 Paint Reconditioning Cream - Car Care Forums: Meguiar`s Online (http://meguiarsonline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23134)
Interesting product, looks like it could be similar to PolySeal, but with more cutting ability! Sounds like a perfect follow up for 105!

Hey, Meguiars is on a roll with some serious new stuff. If it`s as good as the last three I tried - 105, NXT 2.0 and 21 2.0, I`ll start getting my other stuff from them too - got a local Rep in town.

Notice the way Mike puts the thread back on track, though... He mentions that the product is meant for "high production shops". Kinda makes you wonder if this is "Autopian level" stuff. Might be a way to produce good results, though, if you have a cheap customer... might be able to start servicing lower budget clients.

so is this touted as a one step? i mean if you have to do two passes with two different pads, then i really don`t see the point.
if you could finish with say, a green edge pad and do some minor correcting with a reasonable shine, then this product would be great for high volume shops and dealerships (or inexpensive detail shops).
anyway, im looking forward to trying this. it may be good for my customers who want a fast and inexpensive job.

Even if the final finish isn’t “the best of the best†you could still get great results by finishing off with a more traditional fine polish. Either way, you can keep fewer chemicals and pads on the shelf.
If the performance of M105 and So1o are any indicator, it should be a very useful addition to the arsenal.

Whether you’re working fast and “good enough†or take-your-time “ultimate,†having fewer chemicals, pads and process combinations to manage means higher efficiency and profitability.

good points. im going to try some of this. you guys wouldn`t believe how many customers i have that don`t want to spend more than $80-$100 for a detail. as long as they get their car back fast, their rugs are clean and their paint shines somewhat...thats all they want.
hopefully if i could do a quick wash, hit the car one time with this stuff and throw some wax on the car, i may be able to get more work. it all depends on how many swirls this stuff leaves.

The level of cut would be nice to know.....
An all in one polish is already available with several options. That said, if it`s priced right I have no doubt that Meguiars will have a lot of intrest with the name they have in the business.....

Yeah, they are being kinda vague about that. Not much is said, other than something about how you can vary the cut according to what pad you use with it (duh, really).

i hadn`t looked at the product yet, but does this compare at all to #83? I`ve been looking to get a good AIO and so far, poli-seal seems to be the right direction.

Sounds like the same description as Meguiars #66.....
Meguiars #66 is my favourite products as i do lots of cheap/quick details.
I cant wait to see the comparison with pictures. Sounds awesome!

It`s meant to be like #66 on steroids.
It has a cut between #83 and #86 So1o, so it`s more aggressive than #83 but finishes out better. Sounds excellent.
It`s engineered with fillers though...one of the few that Megs admit to. :chuckle:
It sounds like another best-in-class product from Megs latest *Renaissance*.

Is that the Carquest Refinishing Store? Gah almost home soon....
