Thoughts on Meguiar's D156...

[TH3M B0N3Z]

A while back, Meguiar's D156 was suggested for me to use while drying the paint and as a quick touch up.

I've used it a few times now and it actually makes the paint feel nice and soft, like it was freshly waxed. I was previously using CG Hybrid V7, which seemed to not care too much for the Menzerna Power Lock that's on my paint. The two seemed to clash, if you will, and the paint didn't bead and bugs stuck on even worse. Since I've been using the D156, drying is simpler, but the paint feels even smoother after the application of D156. Now every time I wash my car, the water just dances off the paint, beads and rolls effortlessly. I'm happy. :)

On another note, I can't wait to try Iron X on the paint. I've been seeing a few random raildust spots on the light silver paint, but I have a feeling I'll be seeing some crazy reactions with the Iron X since the paint on my car has never undergone that treatment before. I mapped out 12 steps I'll be performing during my Sunday detail, anywhere from 6 to 8 hours worth of work.

Eh, bored at work. Figured I'd share, lol.

D156 should be inducted into the detailing hall of fame.

I use Meg's UQW which I believe is basically a repackage of D156 for the consumer line and I do like it quite a bit.

D156 is my favorite spray wax.

Used D156 yesterday on top of DG 501, OMG paint felt clean, smooth and silky. Customer touched the paint and was amazed.

Well I can`t seem to get other things right the one thing I did was using the USW and now the D156 which is the same. I buy it by the giant economy size now, it`s the only thing that sticks, in my detail cabinet that is.:xyxthumbs:

Good to see others happy with it. :)

Bugs effortlessly come off thanks to the D156. A fresh coat or 2 of MPL does the same thing, but it obviously degrades over time, loses some slickness, but the D156 after every wash provides that super slick feel and to me, that means pure protection.

Super excited about my Iron X detail. :D

There needs to be such a thing here on AG, another great idea!

Is this the new AIO now? I just barely jump on the DG501/105 ban wagon :/ am I a little slow or things are moving too fast?

Try D156 on top of DG 501 or 105 if you want the best of both worlds.

I'm going to have to give this a shot. Thanks.

I too like D156 a lot. Gone through many gallons of this stuff cause I use it as drying aid and as a final wipe on glass.

It doesn't streak and is not finicky about weather conditions. You can go to town and spray D156 on all hard exterior surfaces.

Does the D156 have glaze properties like its consumer counterpart UQW?

I personally noticed the paint was very glossy after I washed my car, dried the paint with the D156 and the applied D156 again once the paint was all dry. It seemed to highten the gloss a bit. The true gloss is from the paint itself being as clean and defect-free as possible, though. It bugs me when people say wax makes paint shiny. It enhances gloss and shine, sure, but it won't bring paint back from the dead.
