I had thought Meguiars had created this professional demo/comparison video. Excellent and easy to follow for the expert or novice. A+

[@caryt59]

Just did "water spot removal" on my Jeep JK with Meguiars Ultimate Compound. I was able to remove OLD water spots BY HAND, (don't have one of those electric thing-ama-jigs")! This compound worked perfectly and left the paint looking shiny and new! I have watched a few KZbin videos comparing different chemical solutions for removing water spots, but none of them included this stuff! It works by hand, well enough, but I suggest getting an electric polisher.

[@rlinkandroidauto-xe9sg]

Damn...This video brings me back to the old days of KZbin tutorials. Excellent narration/explanation to go with excellent showing of how-to! No super fancy video-editing and unnecessary showing of the face. Just straight to the point and task at hand. Top top video!

[@marcb1164]

Great stuff as always Sandro!! Very down to earth and easy to follow. You really do give us enthusiasts a ton of your professional knowledge and experience. Thank you mate!!

[@bernardsanke4876]

I am watching your channel for some time now and can truly say, that your way of explaining and demonstrating car detailing is in evidence of your fantastic skill and professionalism. Also, I have to admit that my cleaning and polishing products have now been converted from Autoglym to Meguire's. Keep up the great work.

[@SK-pn1pe]

You are right about making sure you work this stuff in long enough. I've used this a lot and the biggest mistake I've made when I first used it was not buffing long enough. I found it work best using a DA and going until the compound almost turns clear and is barely visible. Also....I found that it was critical to make sure when you wipe it off, you switch micro fiber clothes fairly often. Using the same one will end up just smearing it around if the cloth is coated with the stuff. I went through a dozen or so doing a complete truck. Thanks for vid!

[@dangerwildman7051]

Thank you thank you thank you for the detail in this video. My favorite part was when you explained that it is based off an original compound, and made to be more user friendly and forgiving. Hearing this makes it feel safer to use, and that's really important when you're talking about the difference between damaging and not damaging your paint. Obviously most of us aren't professionals, but know that just like painting your walls, it can be done by yourself with the right tools. Anyways thanks again great video 👍

[@1royalwolf]

Good Aussie narration. No hype no BS no selling. Just fact and detail. Best video I’ve seen on you tube for polishing a car. Well done and thanks mate.

[@TomW61]

Thanks Sandro for reviewing and showing the results for over the counter products that most of us weekend warriors use. Thanks again.

[@ballpython727]

Wow amazing results by hand! I dont have a machine to apply this so seeing a tutorial how to use this by hand is so helpful to me, thank you!

Been looking into this compound and your info and review here on KZbin is the best ! Thanks for posting.

[@briancvrrbs]

I love the zoom in comparison with the flashlight, it really showed the difference between the sections. I was skeptical of hand polishing, but I guess I just need to work it in a little longer. Thanks for the information!

[@djnesto310]

I have both the compound and the polish, and I’ve just used the compound + polish + wax on my 1970 240z, which has gone through its first full detail (clay, etc etc) in probably forever, and used the polish + wax on my new Mustang. This video helped address many questions and concerns that I had before getting to the job. Cheers!

[@dcarrstar7719]

I've always kept a bottle of these on hand and your video explanation is spot on for all to follow especially newbies or just the average joe who wants dial his ride in on the weekends. This video I suspect will do really well over time because the Ultimate line is very popular especially in the U.S. it's so readily available everywhere. Great presentation Sandro. 👍

[@SilentKnight43]

Your channel has become an invaluable resource - totally enjoyin' some of your vids and appreciate the time and effort you put into them.

What a great video. I just bought the compound and the guy behind the counter told me that is was better to bring the car to a detailshop. First of all. I like to work on my car. So I ignored him and bought it anyway. Must say I was a bit scared of using this. But after this video not anymore. To the point and no fuss. That's what I needed to hear. I will start this sunday. Only thing I need is a good microfiber cloth. Cheers

Extremely helpful! Thanks so much for the tutorial.

[@devinewski]

Didnt know the exactly difference, and the haze was actually present after the compound. Thank you man

[@BlackFlag94]

Nice to see the results. I used this on my old beat up Audi with decent results but more so recently on my ZX6R's plastic fairings. It did a good job but with certain areas of plastic you could add damage very easily. The polish had zero noticeable effect on scratches and finish in my test area so I didn't use that in the end and just did the 1 step compound.

[@pepecoco]

Finally free to catch up on your videos. Thanks for confirming that it does not have fillers. A few detailer’s been telling me that it has silicone acting like fillers and glad that it’s only enhancers. Meg’s Ultimate is a prefect product brand to get into car detailing without spending too much. DA a must with great working time. Thanks for the videos! Educational as usual. FYI, newbies - Don’t use this on hard paint :). Not aggressive enough.

[@AJ56]

UC with an aggressive enough pad + good old rotary will do the job on most ‘hard’ clearcoats, barring maybe Volvo’s (they have clear that’s even harder than most Germans).

[@AJ56]

pepecoco Ultimate Polish has fillers mate, just IPA after you’re done in an area and inspect with a bright flashlight, big difference after IPA/panel prep wipe down.

[@HeliconPath]

Wish I saw this post before I tried to use it on my A3.... My Rupes yellow medium pad didn't have the power with this compound to get most of the scratches out... some pressure on some generic dense foam pads did a little better but it looks like ill need to try something stronger like shol s20.

[@AJ56]

HeliconPath Would highly recommend Meguiar’s M105 ultra cut compound, follow that with something like carpro Essence and you’ll get a show car finish on your A3, I’ve used this combo on many clients’ cars with a rotary and LC pads, works very well.

Another good down to earth review for average car Joe. Not everyone has access to lots of compounds and polishers and while its good to see what out there in the pro world its also great for Sandro to go back to "basics" on products that can be sourced from Super Cheap Auto. Eg some of his car soap reviews. Good balance of videos for different audiences.

[@romilalal5197]

Thanks for this explaination.

[@ricardocarneiro7797]

Ive been told ultimate compound is full of fillers but I used it to get rid of some scratches (by hand) and did a fantastic job, the correction seems to be permanent. However if it had fillers it would have worn out by now, I am very impressed with it. I havent tried the polish yet but I feel compelled now. Thanks for the great video!

[@fadey786]

There are no fillers in Ultimate Compound but Ultimate Polish have both fillers and abrasives. So with Ultimate Polish some minor defects will get removed and some gets filled. It's kind of mixture of M205 and one of their glaze product which I don't remember now.

[@fadey786]

If you don't like fillers, you can use Mothers Pure Polish after Ultimate Compound because that polish don't have any fillers and silicone.

[@Adam308d]

I used these 2 but must have done something wrong coz it looks the same. On black paint though. :/

[@Mane_ea]

I just did it on three cars, depending on car paint, if it feels rough after washing it than it has many abbrasives and contaminants 1st use clay bar 2nd compound 3rd Polish 4th Wax

[@gawaniisko3111]

DatDamMexican hey bro, I’m on it right now. I washed, clayed, compound, polished... did you use some “grease & wax remover” prior to waxing? I saw some videos doing it to remove oils/grease from compound, polish used so the wax will stick more into the paint/clear coat.

[@Mane_ea]

@@gawaniisko3111 No need, if you do you will remove all the polish particles that help bring out the sparkle kind of like a matte finish and it will defeat the purpose of bringing out the gloss.

You're welcome. I have a quick question, if you don't mind? I own a 5vyear old metallic black Jaguar XFS, whose paint is in good condition, other than a few light swirls and scratches, and was thinking of using Meguiars D300 microfiber correction compound to correct the pain. However, would Meguiars Ultimate Compound be more suitable? Thanks in advance.

Thank you.

[@sebabonilla2427]

Thanks for this great guideline to me. I just need to buy some microfibres pads to get on with it. In my case, I decided to do a three step process with Meguiars ‘ products: Ultimate Compound, Ultimate Polish and Ultimate Quick Wax. Let’s see the final results. Regards from Spain.

[@bencrosbie6003]

Really love your indepth videos with products available here in Victoria thanks mate.

[@fadey786]

If you are Meguiar's professional line fan, you should still keep it in stock because sometimes UC (Ultimate Compound) works much better for soft paints as compared to M105. UC is derived from M105 but with more working time and its aggressiveness is 6 on professional line of scale. M105 is 12 and M205 is 4 on aggressiveness scale. So UC is somewhere between M105 and M205. This is reason I mentioned you must keep it in stock even if you are a professional. It helps in lot of scenarios. You must always do test sections and see which is better in your scenario.

[@HksF16]

And you should stick with the same subject and reason why we are watching the video and not turning around like a pussy and making statements

[@fadey786]

This is relevant to subject and these are not random statements. These are facts from Meguiar's. Do some research before commenting. Stop discouraging others for spreading information and show some respect to others in comments. Do you talk the same way when you meet someone in person?

[@HksF16]

i was talking to the guy who is insulting you.
