No one is impressed with what this one-step cleaner/wax did?

I'm memorized by the buffer trail, ive always loved the way they look when you are putting down a fresh layer of wax or a sealant, now this could be from my welding side and it reminds me of a beautiful bead line, or "stack of dimes" as some say.

I'm happy to see that these new AIO's have amazing abrasive technology to offer so much in one bottle. amazing cut as you have demonstrated Mike, ease of use for all levels and of course long lasting protection. ive also said that meguairs sets the bar when it comes to detailing products and examples like this are why I say that.

Looks like a Lake Country HDO Blue Foam Cutting Pad

Normally I use RUPES pads with RUPES tools.

It's very impresive what you did with d166!

And that it also finished down so good. It did not look that it's any haze in the finish.

Do you think that the AIO like d166 masks the haze with some kind of filler? And when the protection and fillers wears of you see some kind of haze? That is something I wonders over if I would use a cutting pad with a AIO. If you only use a cutting pad with a AIO I mean on a paint that needs that kind of cut.

Good question and something I have not tested with D166.

I have tested with 3D HD Speed and BLACKFIRE One Step and after chemically stripping black paint I could not see any micro-marring. That's amazing.


But "no" I have not had the time or opportunity to chemically strip D166 and inspect on black paint. That's the test.

I agree it's amazing that it finishing that great even the wax chemically stripped away.

Sorry about the wrong terms on haze. There is so many different terms and I go with the easy ones often. Micro-marring it is of course.

Wow!

I wonder where this would sit in the "SMAT pack"?

Mike... I think D166 can remove deeper scratches than 3000 grit. I would not be surprised if it could remove 2000 grit scratches... but I am confident it can remove 2500. That product is amazing. I used it this week on a really beat up 2004 Ford Mustang 40 year special edition. The paint was seriously swirled up. I am stuck with a Porter Cable since my Bigfoot 21ES has been in the shop for over a week. So seeing the condition of the paint, I threw on a Lake Country Blue Foam pad and did a one step doing 4 slow passes on the car. I removed about 90% of the swirls. I was blown away... If I had done the same thing with my Rupes 21ES, I believe I could have removed all the swirls.
