Ultimate Compound

I recently tried Meguiar's Ultimate Compound to tackle some scratches and swirl marks on my car, and I’m thoroughly impressed with the results! This product truly lives up to its reputation as a pro-grade car scratch remover and paint correction compound. Effectiveness: The standout feature of this compound is its micro-abrasive technology, which works wonders in removing below-surface defects like scratches, oxidation, and water spots. It not only removes imperfections but also restores the paint’s color and clarity without leaving additional scratches or swirl marks behind I used it on a few fine scratches caused by an automatic car wash, and they were significantly reduced after just one application. Ease of Use: One of the best things about this product is its versatility. It can be applied by hand or with a machine, making it accessible for both beginners and experienced detailers. I personally applied it by hand, and while it required a bit of elbow grease, the results were worth it. For deeper scratches, using a machine polisher might yield even better results. Finish and Shine: Not only does this product remove defects, but it also leaves behind a beautiful glossy finish. After using it, my car’s paint looked noticeably brighter and smoother, almost like it had been professionally detailed. Pros: Effectively removes light to moderate scratches, swirl marks, and oxidation. Restores paint clarity and adds a glossy shine. Safe for all glossy paints and clear coats. Can be used by hand or machine, making it versatile for different users. Cons: For deeper scratches, it may require multiple applications or a machine polisher for optimal results. If overused or applied incorrectly, there’s a slight risk of damaging the paint, so follow the instructions carefully. Overall Rating: I would give Meguiar's Ultimate Compound a solid 5/5 stars. It’s an excellent product for anyone looking to restore their car’s paint and remove imperfections without spending a fortune on professional detailing. Whether you’re a car enthusiast or just want to keep your vehicle looking its best, this is a must-have in your car care arsenal!

This stuff works AH-MAZING! I have a red civic and I had a bunch of scratches by the gas tank door. My husband used this product and after 5 minutes of using it all the scratches were gone. He used a microfiber cloth when rubbing the compound on. Worked just as I had hoped it would. Fantastic product. Five stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It cuts through swirls so well I briefly considered using it on my phone screen and kitchen table. A little elbow grease and it’s like giving your paint a second chance at life. Just be warned—you might end up polishing stuff that wasn’t even scratched. 😄🚗

Amazing stuff! I developed what looked like a fairly deep scratch about 4 inches long that was half on the body of my car and half on the tail light. When I initially applied the stuff and rubbed it off, what was left was a white line, which was no worse than what I was expecting. However, I repeated the application several times, and each time the scratch seemed to grow shorter and less conspicuous. I continued with the application and rub-off several times. Eventually the scratch on both the body of my car and the tail light seemed to disappear entirely. It took about two more applications for the tail light than for the body. The attached image shows just how invisible that scratch has become. I didn't take a "before" picture because I didn't expect the product to work even a little. I was expecting to return it for a refund, but it worked so well that we then used it on another scratch on another vehicle and got the same results. I don't know how durable this stuff will be, but it was so easy to apply that I will happily re-apply it when the time comes. Ease of application: Easy enough even for me. I rubbed the stuff on with a cloth that one one side was microfiber and on the other more like a chamois. Immediately after applying the compound, I rubbed it off with the chamois side of the cloth. To my great surprise, it worked! Effectiveness: As you can see in the attached photo, the scratch is not visible anymore. Not even a little. My guess is that the scratch was shallower than it looked (thankfully), but this stuff worked even on the plastic of my rear light.

Good quality and works as expected.

Didn’t impress me to much. Doesn’t remove small scratches never less water spots and used a da polisher to apply. Had to due it twice and still didn’t get rid of the small scratches or swirls. Would not recommend

Really easy to use and does the job. Used it on my Porsche to remove a few front scratches and on my daughter's plastic molded bumper. Followed up with a good wax and it looks perfect.

I've been using this Meguiar’s Ultimate Compound to fix some pesky scratches on my car and it honestly made a difference. it's handy that it helps bring back the gloss and shine, especially after a long drive or bad weather. really pleased with how easy it is to use and the noticeable improvement on my vehicle’s paint. definitely a nice addition to my car care kit, especially for quick touch-ups before a weekend trip.
