Meguiar’s Ultimate Compound & Polish EXTREME Test

And after the ultimate compound you can use 3D One, same routine. For better gloss. Thé ultim6polish is a glaze, an oil that masks instead of correcting. Grtz

My 2016 truck was repainted three years ago and the paint is in great shape with no swirls but just a couple of moderate scratches and no dents (knock wood). If I use compound to buff out those scratches, do I need to compound the entire vehicle before polishing and waxing? My challenge is the small time windows provided by Colorado's hot summer weather (with unforecasted light rain bursts in the afternoon), and the fact that my truck doesn't fit in my garage. Would greatly appreciate your advice!

[@Champagnepipa]

Hi! I just bought car that got repainted before. The paint is orange peel free but its top coat is kinda dull. Can i go directly to polish to bring its showroom shine? Skipping the rubbing compound

[@quickspoolgarage]

Try a 1ft square section with just using the polish to see the results. If the polish doesn’t bring out the shine try the compound.

[@carladams2130]

Use McGuire's 105 ultra cut compound they sell at harbor freight it a little expensive about 40 dollars for a big bottle but really works good with a great shine even with a cheap buffer I used it on my 2014 infinity q60 coupe and it worked excellent better than what he was using in the video my black car came out excellent with the 105 and it won't hurt your paint clear coat as long as you don't buff at high speeds and not letting the paint get to hot when buffing I like orbital buffers because if you try to press to hard they stop spinning letting you know that your going to get the paint to hot and thats bad

[@quickspoolgarage]

@SS-pi2yi oxidization is the clear coat breaking down making it look dull and faded. Yes in most cases if the clearcoat has not broken into the base coat you can restore using a compound. Or at a bare minimum slow the the oxidation process.

Polish always comes after compound to reduce swirls.

[@itszayadz279]

It’s definitely recommended to follow the ultimate compound up with a polish. Once you do that, use an IPA to wipe off any of the polish residue off the surface you polished and then add the turtle wax ceramic spray coating. Also do another coat of the ceramic 24hrs after the first coat!

Was all I could do but I managed. Has a great shine now but now when you look down through the shine, I have swirls which was not there before. Obviously I messed up. I don't have the money to have it taken care of professionaly, and no buffing tools. What is your suggestion for me on these swirls? Sounds like I should have used a compound first. Didn't know about componds.

There are many variables when It comes to applying any type of compounds, polishes or waxes. I know you mentioned you followed the directions, but did you make sure the panel was washed and clean before applying the cleaner wax?
