I just got some poli seal to replace some of my older Meg`s products as I was sick of how hard they were to use and the sub par results I was getting, so far im really impressed. I read recently about this new 151 and how good it was, can anyone offer a direct comparison between 151 and poli seal? I plan on finishing with an lsp anyway so protection isnt my highest priority, im more interested in ease of use, corection/cleaning ability, and final finish.
also does 151 stain trim?

I`m not sure if 151 stains trim or not, as I`ve always masked off the trim when I`m using 151.
I can not get 151 to finish down well with a rotary. It does finish down very nicely with a DA, though. Meg`s says it has more bite to it than M205, so it`s pretty aggressive for an AIO. I haven`t used Poli-Seal, so I can`t compare the two.
Meg`s says the LSP in 151 has both wax and sealant in it, so you should be good to go with whatever LSP you want to top it with.

I too have been eyeing up the D151. It sounds like the perfect product for the one-stepper daily drivers I do. subscribed.

#151 is more aggressive than Poli-Seal, however it will not finish out hologram free via rotary while Poli-Seal will. Both leave a really nice wet finish when used as directed.

D151 won`t finish hologram free via rotary?! thats the whole point of the product, use one product to replace a cleaner/polish and wax!
that`s disappointing.

I haven`t had any problems with D151 leaving holograms when I use it via rotary.

if your worried about holograms, just use do a 1 step with the PC and use a more aggressive pad. Problem solved.

having used both, and both are in my arsenal currently:
-both are stupid easy to use
-both finish down pretty wet via PC
-151 has more cut to it
-151 takes a little more to work in, where poliseal requires less passes (time constraint details get poliseal from the start)
-poliseal requires wiping the residue before moving on to the next panel, 151 you can do a few sections before wiping
-151 is more thick product
-poliseal will leave a slicker finish

I have, even with a finishing pad.

No real difference. Both are easy to use.

I used the Meguiars pads and never had a hologram show up, even on a black car.
