Easy to use and great results Following the use of Meguiar’s Quik Clay Detailing System, I used this compound on the advice of the guys at Performance Motorcare to get to work on some of the swirls and to go over the area where bonnet stripes had been removed. The finish was very deep and brought out the best on a red Mini Rich – Hampshire Sanding: Sanding can remove light and medium scratches from your paint but must be followed by machine polishing. This depends. If you are running an old car into the ground until its dying day, at which point you intend on scrapping it, or selling it for parts, then scratch repair is neither cost nor time efficient.Versatility : By nature of the hybrid formula implemented in this buffing compound , the 3D One is incredibly versatile . Our team members found ourselves quite satisfied with this buffing compound ’s ability to accomplish multiple portions of the buffing process. Is Meguiars Ultimate Compound a one-step? Not exactly. It can be seen as a one-step correction product because you don’t need to use polish after if you are happy with your results. A one-step product usually contains some wax or sealant. Meguiars Ultimate Compound does not. Waxing: Waxing is the step that preserves your paint and provides protection against future damage and is a great option for clear coated cars. It’s easier to work on a small section of a panel at a time. Doing a large section such as the hood in one go could be too difficult to get even coverage.

According to the manufacturer, they created Meguiar’s Ultimate Compound to offer car owners a product that could offer complete detailing without using several products. It cuts through heavy oxidation, blemishes, stains, and scratches. After: You can see a noticeable improvement in the finish, with clear reduction in the visibility of scratches and swirls. The paintwork “pops” a lot more, which is impressive considering this is a now 13 year old car with plenty of mileage and use under its belt. Use plenty of pressure to get the abrasive to work. You should use more pressure than you would if you were waxing your car. If you drive your car off beaten paths, go off-roading, or drive in the harsh sun most days, you may need to use this restoration product after every few months. When Should You Repaint Instead of Restore? Not only is it highly effective when it comes to restoring tired and neglected paint finishes but Meguiar’s Ultimate Compound also steps up to the mark where others fail in removing bird poop marks, water stains, tree sap and other annoying blemishes you sometimes find on your paintwork.

Meguiars Ultimate Compound is arevolutionary product dramatically reduces the time and effort required to restore an abused or neglected paint finish. It cuts so fast and leaves the finish looking so good; it's hard to believe possible. The secret is Meguiar's exclusive micro-abrasive technology created for Meguiar's state-of-the-art products for body shops and detailers. Meguiars Ultimate Compound is...the ultimate compound. Effectiveness : During our testing process, we were impressed by how well this buffing compound worked. It eliminated heavy oxidation , tough water spots , and scratches – all while leaving behind a high-gloss finish. The product is able to cut through grease and debris fast, like a harsh abrasive, but won’t leave scratches or swirl marks on the surface of your car. It is safe for clear coat and works fast to restore the look of a neglected or abused coat. If you do not restore the coat of your car, the fading can get worse with time. The oxidation will continue until the damage causes peeling of the layers of your clear coat.

Meguiar’s Ultimate Compound uses an advanced abrasive technology that gives a glossy finish to your car coat. This technology works as fast as some of the most powerful abrasive technologies, but it does not cause further defects on the surface of your car. It is safe on clear coats, which makes it ideal for use on all cars.Some products paint correct, some polish, some are car scratch removers, and others provide long-lasting protection from future damage. Since most cars will accumulate scratches and microabrasion damage, many car paint restorers contain compounds that fill light scratches. Good car scratch removers will hide minor scuffs and damage, but if a vehicle’s paint has deeper scratches, it may have to be taken into a shop to be fixed professionally for the best results. How to Restore Car Paint Remember that Ultimate Compound is used to smoothen and clean your clear coat which is a clear coat of automotive paint that sits on top of your main coat of paint. So it doesn’t leave anything behind on the surface like wax or sealant. This means you don’t need to let it dry or cure like you should some waxes.
