Meguiars Ultimate Compound/Paint Restoration

[@I4NI_]

Lovely car, I have owned around 10-15 of these i miss the 4th gen. Some Tips for you Spray pad with misty water before applying anything. Dont do it in sunlight, it dries fast and burns into the paint. Use a clay bar with continous lubrication of the area with water and soap while using up and down and side to side claying, always do this before you begin polishing and continue it until its as smooth as a babies bottom. Then.. Do a 3 stage process. Heavy compound first, using a polishing setting of 1.5-2.5 speed (polishing tool) lower the speed, slower the movement vice versa. Medium/lightweight compound setting 2 speed. Cream cut polish with the current buffing machine you have and seal it all off with a wax which can be done by hand or with the machine you have. Ensure the pads are clean you are using. This is an experienced detailer for almost 20 years

Hope that helps mate great first attempt though

[@TerpCrazy]

Slower and smoother don’t rush and also don’t apply to much pressure. I use to do this working for Toyota at a detail company learned so much. And it’s best if you clay the car with a. Good. Wash. Then use that compound then use a polish to seal

I appreciate that this video is far more like what's going to happen with an average person doing this at home for the first time with very little equipment.

[@jameslovesboba]

Amazing results. Great job, I'm going to use a buffer just like yours

[@reynaldomendoza3365]

U did great buddy now all you now is to put carnuba wax put a new polishing pad and watched come out liked glass shine I promise you that you put wax my friend. Peaceout

[@meriahaiello]

All good advice and video wish me luck

[@michaele7880]

I think if you don’t press as hard the polisher will spin. The result might be even better. And faster.

[@preludevibes]

I figured that as I was going never used a buffer/polisher before

[@McKav]

Great result

[@apoloniotorres]

Great job i will try this

[@xGMOx]

Rhe white power decal is insane

[@chasevisions]

Looks great!

[@phantomofphoenix]

Looks like it worked! Ur car looks good !

[@JC-gs2nb]

U should clay bar it first with warm soapy water to remove embedded debris,plus swirls won't come back cause ur digging that fine debris into the paint,it's all in the prep

[@BlackHawkPSU]

If this car was clear coat the clear coat would be flaking off, but the dull white chalky appearance tells me this is a single stage paint. Just my opinion, but you need a more powerful tool, a true DA buffer. Most likely that white chalky look is going to return unless this is properly done and maintained.

Buen trabajo. Gracias por compartir. Haré lo mismo con mi Ford Contour V6 STD que tengo en el garage. Ten salud amigo.

[@isaachamm8846]

Add some water to the pad. It helps.

[@isaachamm8846]

Polish afterwards

[@oldmanJ]

As the old saying goes "You pay for what you get" you want fair results cheap is fine,you want very good results spend more.

[@carlosb1]

unfortunately if your paint is really really oxidized these products only cover the oxidation. You can test this by washing the spot you polished with some of your car wash soap and a sponge this will take away the polishing oils that make it look like its new. If it looks dull after you wash it you did not do anything to the paint other than cover the problem with the polishing oils. You will have to cut through the paint until you reach the still good paint. I had to cut through the paint on my car until i reached the still good paint ( i used turtle wax polishing compound) as I can't see myself polishing the paint after every 2 car washes lol. You could put clear coat but the paint is still deteriorated how long can you save it depends on the condition. without the new clear coat the paint will just keep oxidizing faster. you did do a good job for being the first time. It looks like your car did not have much paint left based on the primer being seen so easily so i would not cut through it more aggressive. SO i see you painted the car in one of your other videos and yea that was the best choice lol

[@raymondperez3553]

Great Video! Did You Follow up After The Compound with The Ultimate Polish And Wax Liquid?..

[@ericocampo7028]

This. You always polish and wax after compounding

[@bbsal4031]

Hey that looks way better- you're lucky that a clear coat isn't literally peeling off; on one of my vehicles it is. Anyway I think that turned out real good 👍

[@preludevibes]

thank you !

[@roygarramone7190]

Nice Job in general, but as we all know if the clear coat and paint are totally faded, only sanding and fresh paint will fix that issue.

[@vbuckley1780]

Dude your not suppose to press the buffer/polisher down hard.

[@garrystubbs4891]

supposed* to

[@garycramer6469]

Have you heard of clay baring a car to get rid of the oxidation.

[@malinson9947]

nice work save this prelude buddy

[@preludevibes]

Thank you man!

[@tooquick6]

How is it long term?

[@tatelorentzen8479]

Bro.. for one those style buffer/polishers are CRAP! get a rotary or DA buffer. Or you woulda been better off using cheap toothpaste and done it by hand

[@kyy330]

Your pressing way to hard

[@MrChili1496]

Pressing too hard, it has to spin

[@preludevibes]

I realized as I went on never used one before .

[@Jose-ht7sh]
