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

Hello I want to ask if I apply compound or polish how much will last ? With normal wear , and I want to ask what product you recommend for sealant

[@gdude7397]

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!

[@leopoldoherrera7461]

30sec in, can’t wait to see the end result. Hopefully it comes out fly 🔥

[@BobSmith-mc7uq]

The fly didn't have a chance, the swirling pad got him.

Hey every one well if you want even better results use McGuire's 105 ultrs cut compound I used the 2 he was using and got pretty good results on my super black (That's what color the black is actually called ) on my infinity q60 coupe than I tried the 105 from McGuire's and what a difference it made when I tried to use the polish that he used after the 105 it made it look worse thats how shiny the 105 got my paint so the 105 is more expensive but let me just say and I live my paint to look like your looking in a mirror it's worth the extra money in my opinion I wish I could show you a pic of my car that would really help you decide just thought I would try to help some of you with your descion on what works well peace out

my 19 4runner's cake icing ..I mean " paint" even with the softest clay bar and best spray lube scratches. I could always clay my chevys and Jeeps no issue but not with toyota. I found using some compound on a rag does a good job taking out all the small residual tar dot stains from the paint. This stuff works and Turtle waxes version seems to be of good quality as well.

I’ve used the same products you show but by hand, hardly anything changed so I’m gonna try it out with a machine Do you think claybaring would really make a big difference before doing your steps? My haze isn’t that horrible

[@quickspoolgarage]

Make sure the surface of the panels are clean from dirt, grime and debris before if you decide to clay bar. Try a small spot to make that determination as every vehicle has lot of variables. Good luck

All going to depend on how bad it is. If the uv damage broke through the clear coat then it might not do much for you.

can you please please tell me does only buying ultimate compound only enough does it contain polish as well like 2 in 1 or we have to buy separate polish as well

[@quickspoolgarage]

Whenever using a compound you always want to finish with at least a polish at the very least. So I would recommend using the polish after the compound

[@BrianAndersonTT]

Since we're foregoing wet sanding I feel like a second pass of the compound would be worth a try.

[@quickspoolgarage]

Hi, i have an issue with cat scratches would you recommend using the compound, polish, then wax? or should i take some extra steps like clay barring?

Check and see if the scratch catches your fingernail. If it does then it’s pretty deep into the clear coat and id recommend using the compound.

Thanks for the video, I have a query, I have a 5 year old car, never done any paint protection or detailing, so can I use meguiar's ultimate compound to remove swirls and scratches and then turtlewax ceramic spray as a sealant without using meguiar polish?

[@quickspoolgarage]

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!

[@STAY-GOLD-VINYL]

@@itszayadz279 IPA? Should the pads be wet or completely dry when cutting or polshing?

[@ms79ta]

Nice video. I bought the compound and bottle says you can go straight to wax afterwards. I hope it turns out ok without polishing in-between. 🤞

[@quickspoolgarage]

Nice! Good luck

[@brenthill5596]

Should have tried Megs M100 or 105 after all that just to see if they could take out anymore defects.

[@quickspoolgarage]

Those are both awesome products! I was trying to push the ultimate compound and polish to its limits.

[@DSC800]

My 22 year old car has always been garaged and kept clean so I'd say it's equal to a 5 year old car. Compound scares me, as though a beginner like me could screw things up faster, so I'm going to try just the polish first and see how it works out. Oh, and I'll be using an 8mm DA polisher.

[@quickspoolgarage]

Using the D/A polisher will be less aggressive than traditional R/A polisher like I use. If your clear Is good shape, start off with the polish and see how it goes.

I have a question for you. First I am an old lady, I have a 2008 lexus in great shape except for the hood was dull in places, so I bought meguires cleaner wax, applied it my self according to directions. 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.

[@quickspoolgarage]

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? It sounds like the applicator might of gotten contaminated while applying. Also what did you use to remove the cleaner wax from the panel?

[@EduardoHernandez-io5hd]

@Quick Spool Garage I got some swirls to after applying compound, can I still buff them out?

What are the steps for taking a washed car and turning into a buffed and polished ride? For example when to use a clay bar and what point do I use the bar? After the wash and before I cut and polish?

After the wash before the cut and polish. Using it before the wash will only contaminate the bar and you don’t want that.

[@quickspoolgarage]

No this hood had to many imperfections for clearcoat.

[@cuzimelliotcie9537]

is it a permenant solution ? if not how long will the effect stay ?

[@quickspoolgarage]

I would say this is not a permanent solution. Its best to wax periodically to maintained good UV protection and retaining its shine. This hood was an extreme scenario.

[@HantsLeo]

Interesting test, thanks for this, it really showed the effects of using the compound first. I wonder what the results would be like if polishing by hand? Stay safe

[@quickspoolgarage]

Thanks, this hood was extremely oxidized. I could see this polish working very well by hand on a more maintained vehicle that is not uv damaged.

[@kepler656]

Generally by hand is fine. But requires a lot more effort, and can result in uneven polishing since you likely wont be putting in the same amount of passes everywhere. Plus, a random orbital polishes randomly. Whereas by hand, you tend tk do similar strokes which can show in the final product.

[@girigiridhar443]

I have a car which has minor scratches and feels like color is litly fading do I use compound or polish or both

[@quickspoolgarage]

It all depends on how bad the clear coat is UV damaged. I’d do compound in the light scratches only then follow up with polishing the entire panel.

[@thethrill2877]

When I use the polish it dries very fast and becomes hard to remove any advice.

[@quickspoolgarage]

Do it in a cool shaded area. Make sure the panel is not been sitting in the sun.

It's not just Texas heat. Many states have bad heat. We all get the same sun. Try using better foam pads. You'll get better results.

[@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
