Could you top Meguiar’s D151 with Opti-Seal, or do you need to do a 50/50 wipe down first? I’ve never used D151 yet but I’m very interested and thinking of giving it a try.

I dont see why not, to my knowledge it doesnt leave anything behind like fillers, etc. It`s has more cut than #83 and it`s not formulated for newer paint like Solo.
Quality Doesn`t Cost, It Pay`s

I`ve also found it has the cut of something like M80 and nowhere near 83...

Opti Seal, read the bottle, it can go over anything just like its two competitors, ZCS and UPGP.Originally Posted by lecchilo
D151 does leave some form of protection on the paint work and the cut is actually more than M83. Here`s a quote from MOL by Tim,
But since it is rated more aggressive than M83, I was curious to see how fine it would finish down.

Meg`s claims that it has more cut than #83...but i havent heard anyone that has used it confirm it...they always compare it to #80 like lechilo....but i havent used it so take that with a grain of salt....they say it is very pad dependent so i think a common pad should be discussed because that will have a big determinant on its level of cut

I`ve used M83 for over 3 years now, mostly with Meg`s 8006 pad and LC PFW, orange and white... I used D151 only for about 1.5 hours with 8006 and LC white and the cut didn`t even come close... as I said about the cut of M80 more or less... I`d have to use it over and over on the same paint to compare 80 and 151 (which I will end up doing shortly haha) but I used it next to 83 and it cuts much less, but definitely leaves a better surface because of it`s `one-step` nature

interesting, i was going to pick up some d151, but if it doesn`t cut better than m80 then I dont think its worth it for me to pick it up for my arsenal....I may break down and buy a small sample of it...I do need to re order some stuff....

How does this stuff stack up against Poli-Seal as far as correction?

I would go ahead and use the OS on it.
