D151 sub in for M205?

For most of my higher end paint correction packages I will start with M105, follow with a finishing polish, and finish with a pure sealant LSP.



Most people would of course recommend using 205 after 105, why break up the twins right?



Let me digress a little: I use D151 for my cheaper packages, I either do 151 on its own with a orange LC pad for my cheapest, or do 151 on an orange LC and follow up with #21 sealant on a black for my middle of the road package.



Back to the topic at hand: is there any reason I shouldn't ditch my 205 or similar polish and use D151 between my 105 and LSP? D151 has more cut than 205, but finishes LSP ready, it's way cheaper, smells nice, and using D151 + your LSP will give you two layers of protection over just one. I've never heard of anyone having problems topping 151 with #21 sealant.



It would be very convenient to be able to cut a product out of my regular orders and use PRC instead.



Comments?

I tried this combo recently on my personal vehicle and on a customers vehicle. Mine is a VW Golf and the customers was a 2004 Mach1.



The Golf turned out great. (Blue)



The Mach1 will be coming back to me for a final polish because the 151 didnt finish as well as the customer would have liked. (Black)



I think every car is different and will need different combo's to get it done right as I have learned experimenting with Megs 151.



Alternatively I believe that you should wash the wax off before using a sealant as a LSP as there may be a problem with it bonding to the paint.
 
You can't really expect to use D151/orange on a black car and not see any marring. That's just asking for too much. With a white pad maybe, but definitely not with an orange.
