any thoughts on this? can this be done to clean up cars that arnt kept in good condition, aka the average joe's car? I have used it will LC white pads with good results but it really doesnt offer to terribly much correction, will a PFW pad finish down well enough for a simple wash and wax job? All done with a rotary BTW. I have heard Meguiar's D151 has a little more cut, is that more suited for jobs like this?
 
Poli-seal is a decent product for a one step AIO type product



However, PFW will not finish well enough for a one step. Heck, maybe it's just me but most cars I can't get a white pad on the rotary to finish well enough for my liking without following up with an additional polishing step.
 
PFW will not finish down well enough with any polish for a one step IMO. D151 on an orange pad would be an option. If you are getting hazing then D151 on a white pad. I believe D151 has the most cut of any of the AIO products. I have not personally used poli-seal but from reading here it seems to have about the same amount of cut as M66. D151 has a lot more cut than M66 no question.
 
Well on my abrasives chart, 151 is a 4 and PS is a 2, and no one has objected to that.



In my experience, 151 is about the most aggressive AIO I have used, on par with 205. It finishes very nicely.

I would go with D151 that works great as a one step. NO. 80 can be used to as a one step.:2thumbs:

Do you mean #80 as a one step polish or as a polish and protection? It does very little in the protection arena.
 
Dont care too much for #80, so I wont use it regardless of the protection it provides :xyxthumbs

I was under the impression a PFW should finish down as well or better than an orange pad when used properly.

ill report back soon, first I have to get my Hitachi Rotary back from the repair shop :angry

I don't have a ton of experience with PFW yet...probably 6-8 cars with it. In my time with it I would say that it does finish down nicely for what it is. I would not say that it finishes out as nice as orange though. Again, I don't have a ton of time with it yet so that may change....the best thing to do would be to travel with both and do test spots.



Lately I have been reading a few cases where people are using Orange/M205 to finish on tricky paint. I believe Accumulator had a post about it recently. I have not tried this. Nor have I tried PFW with a finishing polish or AIO. All my experience has been with M105 and PFW vs. M105 and LC Orange.
