@@jankindl915 You ever compounded a car before? Let's say you bought yourself a really nice 4 year old keeper that the previous owner never took care of. You go ahead and applied a m105 and finished off with a m205 then a nice wax. You take it to the car wash like most everyone does then low and behold it's full of scratches. What do you do now? Compound it again? In most cases the least abrasive method will always be the best option if you plan to keep the car for a long time.

I'm the biggest asshole when it comes to reviewing a product. I used it on a 6-year-old dark blue Ford pickup truck that sits outside in the scalding hot Texas sun exposed to approximately 55 inches of rain each year and 90 to not at all unusual 100 degree days. I had water spots on top of water spots. I once tried a clay bar and yeah it worked to some degree but it would have taken a ridiculously long time to do the entire vehicle. I literally think it would have taken several days assuming my hands could hold up to that much work. Watched your video, bought a cheap $45 buffer, and gave it a try. Amazing product. Got every last water stain out. I was 100% pleased with the results! Thanks for posting this video!

After using compound, should you still follow it with a polish if you’re going to apply a ceramic coating?

[@chriscalantuan3150]

Questions... 1. does it act as a sealer or a protective coating ... 2. months will it last ..

Hi, no it is just a polish you will need to wax/seal the paint after use. It should, assuming the scratches are not too deep, be a permanent fix, but if they are deep it may mask them for a couple months, hope that helps

I have some small scratches on my car that I want to try to repair myself. I have never done it before. I am trying to find some things online here to show me how. This looks ok.

[@DaveRebuilds]

Hi, no, it’s not a wax, it’s a compound/polish, it has abrasives in it, designed to flatten the top coat of your paint to smooth out scratches. Wax is a protective layer you put on the paint after using a compound/polish to make it look super shiny 😃👍🏻

Will that be ok or is it necessary to use polish after compounding?

[@DaveRebuilds]

You’re very welcome, thanks for watching! So….if you’ve never protected/detailed it before, I’d start out by giving it a proper wash with a non wax based shampoo (meguiars do a good one), then use a clay bar to remove any really stuck on contaminants (I have a video on how to use one), dry the car down then use the compound to remove the swirls etc then yes, you can just put a protective coat over top. Best practice would be to use a polish after the compound to remove the final 1% of super light swirls caused by the compound, but it’s not necessary unless it’s a show car standard you’re looking for. Another incredible compound (again, have a video using it on an old Mercedes’) is turtle wax “one&done” graphene compound which acts as both a compound and polish 👍🏻 Hope that helps 😃

A wax pretty much just fills in the scratches. A compound will help remove minor scratches.

[@thinkforyourself5672]

Quick Question if anyone can help. My paint is barely at the point for compound. I'm waiting until summer is over and using the ultimate compound then polish. I live in an apartment complex so using my buffer comfortably is almost impossible. Since my paint isn't trashed can I use the compound by hand? Or am I wasting my time and need to find a way to use the buffer? To save time one way or the other isn't my concern. The results are all I care about. Thanks in advance

[@DaveRebuilds]

Hi, sorry I didn’t get back to you sooner. So yeah, you can do it by hand, the results might not be quite as good but you will def get a good result either way! If you are looking for a fantastic polish, I did a video where I detailed a Mercedes eclass using turtle wax new “one and done” graphene compound, the result was incredible and actually better than the meguiars compound if you want an alternative? Again, it can be applied by hand or polisher! Hope that helps 😃👍🏻

Unless you know how to use a rotary polisher I’d suggest sticking with a DA (dual action) as you can really make a mess of paint with a rotary if you don’t know how to use it 👍🏻

[@SentinelEx]

Ok someone help me out. So it's wash the car first to get rid of any wax. Then clay bar. Then compound, polish, and then wax? Then after waxing you use a sealant?

[@DaveRebuilds]

Yup, that’s exactly right dude, although I typically just use the wax as the sealant and then maybe use a sealant every 3-4 washes just to top up the shine 👍🏻

[@michaelhuynh7324]

how many coats did you give it before moving on

[@DaveRebuilds]

So it just depends on whether the scratches are removed or not. I would typically give an area 4-5 passes with the DA polisher, wipe away the polish, then use an IPA (panel wipe) to rub down the area. If the scratches/swirls are removed, I move on to the next section 👍🏻
