on a serious note, I thought you weren't supposed to do polish/wax in direct sunlight but this user is. Is compound different than polish? And direct sunlight compounding is allowed?
@NORTHofCALI I own a detail company,and your soooo right,I picked this up at a local store and tried it out,it did hardly anything.Not much better then a cleaner wax,right in the garbage it went
Impressive demonstration and great vids as always!! I have a black Mercedes C-class with swirls similar to the 7-series in this video. I have tried Ultimate Compound and Swirl X by hand and it hasn't worked. What should I be doing by hand? should I give up trying by hand and use a machine?
I know that you will not get quite the same results when polishing by hand, but I am a college student and do not have enough money to get a DA polisher. How close to these results can I expect to get when using Ultimate Compound by hand?
Hi mate I already bought and tried the ultimate compound thanks it all works!! but I'm just wondering if they are permanent?and if its alright if im gonna use the ultimate liquid wax every week? and please what sort of meguiars do i need to remove my stains on my hoods?please please help thanks
@pancracius09 of course your car will get dirty over time but if you maintain it frequently....you should have no problem. You can wax 4-5 times a year and maintain with UQD or UQW
I just bought a new black car and I've noticed some swirl marks on it already. Can I use a clay bar, then this compound, and then finish of with a wax? Will that help with the marks? thanks
@6824096 to make the surface smooth..you should use our smooth surface clay kit....the compound will help the water spots but sometimes they are too deep to be removed. It depends on if its deep or light damage.
how come I bought one of those of like 3days and when I used it its really works but after few days and after the rain the paint of my car are starting to fade please help
@pancracius09 you need to ensure you polish and protect after this product. This product only cleans but adds no protection against the environmental hazads we all face.
@maklerys If you follow the ultimate compound up with ultimate polish, you will work out the holograms 100%.. The compounding is only 1 of the necessary steps.
Woke up this morning to find that the wind had blown a metal lawn chair against my 2010 civic si leaving a deep long scratch in my fender and door. I though that I would need to wet sand and buff out the scratches but two applications of ultimate compound with my da removed them and left a glass like swirl free finish behind. Thanks for making great products and saving my paint Meguiars
i have a 2005 chevy 2500 hd with dark blue paint .when i bought it ,it looked sweet .it is a k-9 search and rescue unit .i think i only had it about two weeks when i was out on a search and got stuck in the mud up to my axels .i took it and washed it but now has fine scratches all through the paint .i use megs spay way on it but it still has the scratches in it will this compound remove the scratches.it now sits on 35 inch mud tires
I love this compound, but its hard to clean off the ultimate compound sometimes with microfiber towel. am I leaving it on too long?? I leave it about 5minutes and then wipe off. But sometimes I had to keep rubbing it to get it off. So I was wondering if you can wash the vehicle again after applying ultimate compound so that I can get rid of all the compound off the vehicle... and then follow up with WAX. Would I still get the same results? let me know. thanks.
@swooshstyle82 most likely you are working in too large of an area and letting it sit too long. You should be working in a 2ft by 2ft area only and with polishes and compounds, there is NO need to let it sit..you can immediately remove it from the paint.
@swooshstyle82 When I use this compound, I use only small amounts (about a nickel size drop) for each 2ft x 2ft area that I am buffing. I will work the compound back and forth, left and right, until the majority of the product is worked through, it cuts heavier at first and polishes after youve worked it down. If you need to continue buffing the same area, you can then spray your pad with some spray wax and it will reactivate the products that is left in the pad.
@2010sasaki this car wash washed before starting....this video is only on the step 2 procedure and this one product only. Great observation and thanks.
2.spray Detailer and wipe the surface WITH A HIGH QUALITY MICROFIBER TOWEL NOT A USED AND DIRTY ONE!.
3.apply a 10inch line of product on the surface and put the buffer at the 10oclock position, then bring your buffer up to speed and slowly go across the bead with moderate pressure.
YOu should Purchase a Meguiar's Clay Bar Kit that will work wonders on the buried contamination's in your paint, give it a glass like look, and make it ultra smooth.

Wow, and to think I just bought some of this Ultimate Compound from Walmart and the Gold Class Carnuba Wax, I am so excited to use my car care products now. My car is not as bad as the D-bag's car in this video, how you let a BMW's paint job get that messed up is beyond me. My car is not in as bad in shape as that car but wow, that is impressive how it cleaned all that mess.
@meguiarsasia i've tried foam cutting pad with UC, still have orange peel on my paint(but lesser now). Now im still waiting for my ultra cut compound(m105) to arrive.. Will combine this with my ultra finishing polish(m205). I hope these products will remove the defect with mirror glaze finish.
@meguiarsasia u mean i can use ultimate compound with cutting pad(red) or must i change to more aggressive compound to use the cutting pad? I've spend hundreds of $ for ur products & accessories(don't want to spend more buying wrong products). Have seen great results(better then other products), but i still didn't get the mirror shine.. Pls help..
Im using ultimate compound with meguiars foam polishing pad(yellow), it gloss.. But also gloss out the uneven paint cause by acid rain & neglected paint by previous owner.. How do i remove them..? Go over & over again till its gone, or should i change the foam to cutting pad(red)?
Hi Meguiar I need to know umm i have a something on a car i just brought and its something like a paint swap that happened at a yellow or ether green pole it use to be a dent there and ive been working on the car to restore it my qestion is how do i remove this so called "Paint Swap" off my vehicle and what would be the best way to do this with a buffer
@chamblizi simply use 3000 foam finishing disc with water on the small spot....then use 105 with the 3" wool pad on the spot, then polish it and protect it.
for some more detail, its like (on a white car) those brown marks you get around your door handle. their light brown, look really bad, but up close, their only surface. deeper than swirls but not serious...
i have a white car, about 8-9 years old now (honda accord) still runs perfectly but of course has some bad marks. mainly swirls but a few scratches. not deep deep, where it exposes silver but in the clear coat but would catch a fingernail. Not by much, but to the point where u can feel it when u slide your nail across. will this take care of this?
for scratch x 2.0 can that eliminate small paintchips? thanks
Hi meguiars, or whoever...I had a year old car, which actually looks pretty good, i take care of it alot :) It has almost none swirls and also ligh oxidation. I was wondering if using this product by hand would make those thing disappear... Thanks!
Meguiars, you have saved the paint on my car! This product is great! I used SwrilX before, and it did an okay job with the swirls, but then I used this product, and it got rid of everything.
What are the steps after using this product? do i clay bar then wax or just wax?
I have a black car and just waxed it but noticed bad swirl marks. do i need to remove my wax first or can i just use this right over it to give me a nice swirl-less shine?
@mrjgrawcock yes you can use this without removing the wax. The steps you should follow are: 1. wash 2. clay bar 3. ultimate compound 4. wax/sealant 5. maintain
i have my own car wash and i use only meguiars product because it gives the best result ive seen so far no other product is a competition for meguiars "thank you meguiars"
I use Ultimate compound in my pro detailing business because it works great! for paint that is not so scratched and swirled that m105/205 have to be used Ultimate compound does amazingly well. it is also great on really soft paints because it does not haze or swirl the paint. great price too!
Hi there, i've a new car which is subjected to slight waterspots. I've tried to remove them using the Meguiars M205 Ultra finishing polish, but not been able to do so.
Any recommendations on how i can remove the waterspots to produce a clear finish.
As i do not have a power source around my carpark, i can't use a rotary buffer. Everything has to be done by hand. Any recommendations? Thanks!
@speedyspeedboy123456 if your doing hand only...you can use M105 or ultimate compound by hand with possibly 2-4 applications. If this does not work, you will need to find power possibly with a tool if the problem is deep.
@antonio30824 its going to depend on where in the world you live....message me your email and I can get you in touch with the right people to get it! :D please let me know where in the world you are
I just bought this product, it is dark out but I can't wait til tomorrow to see what clearly is a superior product. Question: the music is just as awesome. what is the title of the song and who plays it? GOOD JOB MEGUIAR's
the left side is dull because it was applied the wax has dried and has not been polished. while the right side the wax was applied and polished instantly. was not invented anything
@centroamericano12 the left side is dull because it was applied the wax has dried and has not been polished. while the right side the wax was applied and polished instantly. was not invented anything
@caka23 if the clear coat is totally gone...nothing will work to get a show car shine unless you repaint it. You could try a pure glaze like M80 or something. For oxidation parts that still have clearcoat, simply a compound like M105 would work.
Great Video. I just bought a PC 7424XP with a Lake Country 6.5" Orange #3 Cutting pad, White #2 Polishing pad and Black #1 Finishing pad. Can I use the Orange #3 Cutting pad with Ultimate Compound on swirls & scratches? I'm a mobile detailer taking the next step in paint correction! Or should I step up to the Mirror Glaze Products? I've been looking at other Swirl and Scratch Removers? Thanks
@V12smooth Thank You for the reply. My dad's 2007 pathfinder has some oxidation spots and scuffs here and there. Glad to know it'll be enough. Will the ultimate compound also remove all the small swirls on the vehicle if done by hand? Sorry for all the questions, I'm just getting into all of this detailing business :D
i know the ultimate compound works ... i use it on my cars ... but you do any advertising benefits of this video a great disservice by using so little product on such a large area, not spreading it around well at all, and going far too quickly over such a large area ... people who think the paint was messed with have a valid point, it did look faked or "dressed up" ... but trust me people ... ultimate compound does work
@leewardstyle those are not as good as foam since they absorb a lot of product which foam does not. You want the product going into the clearcoat to remove it and not into the towel.
@meguiarsasia the left side is dull because it was applied the wax has dried and has not been polished. while the right side the wax was applied and polished instantly. was not invented anything
More like taken to someone who thinks they know what they are doing with a buffer :/ Some of the cars I have seen at my local Lexus dealer are appaling... I feel like talking to them and telling them I can fix their car's paint!
Hi meguiarsasia, why do you not sell the M105 ultra-cut compound in such bottles in Malaysia? I was told that M105 is sold in 1 gallon packing. I'm just a hobbyist and 4.5 lires of the product will last me several lifetimes :(
@billjupliz if you contact Hypercoat, which is the sole distributor, they should be able to break it down into smaller bottles for you. They bring it into the country in gallon size due to mass needs. I will bring this up to them and hopefully they can bring in smaller bottles in the future.
@paulde777 the medium cut cleaner is a macro diminishing abrasive and is stronger than ultimate compound that is a super micro abrasive similar to M105.
I just ordered some of this, but does it "break down" like a polish? How long do you need to work it in with a DA polisher? How do you know when it's done?
@trencher7 it has similar technology to our professional m105 or m205, so it means it will stay wet. you want to work it in til it gets very shiny and ALMOST gone. With a DA..use it on 4-5 speed for cleaning with the G110 or G220. After this product you would polish/protect.
when you sand gently or non gently....some amount of clearcoat will always be taken off. It going to depend on your skill level on how much you remove. Sanding is normal though to achieve maximum results in shine and no orange peel.
Hey Meguiar!!! quick question is it possible to mess up your paint by buffing it for 1st timer?? Especially using the ultimate compound Is it that hard to learn how to buff a car?
so it's okay to use this in the sun? the car doesn't have to be cool? Can I use an orbital buffer/polisher to apply this? Should I use a terrycloth pad? Will this help with my chalky looking paint on my car? Will it restore shine? I love these products so I picked up a bottle of Ultimate Compound. thanks in advance!
it should be used in the shade, yes you can use an orbital buffer or polisher. Terrycloth pad would work but microfiber or foam polishing pad is better. This product will bring back the shine and color, yes. After this product you should protect it with a product like tech wax 2.0.
ok great thx. i tried to clay it over, and repeat the 3 step system. it look ok then, but the scratch is still visible under the sunlight. anyway, it looked 60% better than before. one more ques, how long will the carnauba wax last and how many times i need to polish in a year? BIG THANKS!
my friend say this will cut 1 layer to paint...izit true???

i have a white car, about 8-9 years old now (honda accord) still runs perfectly but of course has some bad marks. mainly swirls but a few scratches. not deep deep, where it exposes silver but in the clear coat but would catch a fingernail. Not by much, but to the point where u can feel it when u slide your nail across. will this take care of this?
for scratch x 2.0 can that eliminate small paintchips? thanks

Hi meguiars, or whoever...I had a year old car, which actually looks pretty good, i take care of it alot :) It has almost none swirls and also ligh oxidation. I was wondering if using this product by hand would make those thing disappear... Thanks!

Meguiars, you have saved the paint on my car! This product is great! I used SwrilX before, and it did an okay job with the swirls, but then I used this product, and it got rid of everything.

What are the steps after using this product? do i clay bar then wax or just wax?
I have a black car and just waxed it but noticed bad swirl marks. do i need to remove my wax first or can i just use this right over it to give me a nice swirl-less shine?
mrjgrawcock 1 year ago
@mrjgrawcock yes you can use this without removing the wax. The steps you should follow are: 1. wash 2. clay bar 3. ultimate compound 4. wax/sealant 5. maintain

I use Ultimate compound in my pro detailing business because it works great! for paint that is not so scratched and swirled that m105/205 have to be used Ultimate compound does amazingly well. it is also great on really soft paints because it does not haze or swirl the paint. great price too!

Hi there, i've a new car which is subjected to slight waterspots. I've tried to remove them using the Meguiars M205 Ultra finishing polish, but not been able to do so.
Any recommendations on how i can remove the waterspots to produce a clear finish.
As i do not have a power source around my carpark, i can't use a rotary buffer. Everything has to be done by hand. Any recommendations? Thanks!
speedyspeedboy123456 1 year ago
@speedyspeedboy123456 if your doing hand only...you can use M105 or ultimate compound by hand with possibly 2-4 applications. If this does not work, you will need to find power possibly with a tool if the problem is deep.

what product should i use for oxidation where the clear coat is peeling away and where the clear coat is non existant anymore?
caka23 1 year ago
@caka23 if the clear coat is totally gone...nothing will work to get a show car shine unless you repaint it. You could try a pure glaze like M80 or something. For oxidation parts that still have clearcoat, simply a compound like M105 would work.

Great Video. I just bought a PC 7424XP with a Lake Country 6.5" Orange #3 Cutting pad, White #2 Polishing pad and Black #1 Finishing pad. Can I use the Orange #3 Cutting pad with Ultimate Compound on swirls & scratches? I'm a mobile detailer taking the next step in paint correction! Or should I step up to the Mirror Glaze Products? I've been looking at other Swirl and Scratch Removers? Thanks

What's the amount of coverage of a single bottle? Would it be enough to do a SUV if need be?
TheSpec1alOne 1 year ago
@TheSpec1alOne I did a white Trail Blazer and white 4 door Civic with 1/2 the bottle.
I compounded the entire vehicles by hand. Yes you can do a suv with one bottle. It works great. Take Care
V12smooth 1 year ago
@V12smooth Thank You for the reply. My dad's 2007 pathfinder has some oxidation spots and scuffs here and there. Glad to know it'll be enough. Will the ultimate compound also remove all the small swirls on the vehicle if done by hand? Sorry for all the questions, I'm just getting into all of this detailing business :D
TheSpec1alOne 1 year ago
@TheSpec1alOne Meguiars Ultimate Compound will remove most of the swirls but to be safe I'd use Swirl-X after the compound. (That's what I did.)
chevyman217 1 year ago
i know the ultimate compound works ... i use it on my cars ... but you do any advertising benefits of this video a great disservice by using so little product on such a large area, not spreading it around well at all, and going far too quickly over such a large area ... people who think the paint was messed with have a valid point, it did look faked or "dressed up" ... but trust me people ... ultimate compound does work

everyone says to use Foam pads for this, but what about Microfiber or Terrycloth pads?
leewardstyle 1 year ago
@leewardstyle those are not as good as foam since they absorb a lot of product which foam does not. You want the product going into the clearcoat to remove it and not into the towel.

Hi meguiarsasia, why do you not sell the M105 ultra-cut compound in such bottles in Malaysia? I was told that M105 is sold in 1 gallon packing. I'm just a hobbyist and 4.5 lires of the product will last me several lifetimes :(
billjupliz 2 years ago
@billjupliz if you contact Hypercoat, which is the sole distributor, they should be able to break it down into smaller bottles for you. They bring it into the country in gallon size due to mass needs. I will bring this up to them and hopefully they can bring in smaller bottles in the future.

@paulde777 the medium cut cleaner is a macro diminishing abrasive and is stronger than ultimate compound that is a super micro abrasive similar to M105.

I just ordered some of this, but does it "break down" like a polish? How long do you need to work it in with a DA polisher? How do you know when it's done?
trencher7 2 years ago
@trencher7 it has similar technology to our professional m105 or m205, so it means it will stay wet. you want to work it in til it gets very shiny and ALMOST gone. With a DA..use it on 4-5 speed for cleaning with the G110 or G220. After this product you would polish/protect.

Awesome. Thanks for the tips!!

if you wet sand, gently with out taking off the paint, doees this remove the clearcoat?
MrRichierich1990 2 years ago
when you sand gently or non gently....some amount of clearcoat will always be taken off. It going to depend on your skill level on how much you remove. Sanding is normal though to achieve maximum results in shine and no orange peel.

Hey Meguiar!!! quick question is it possible to mess up your paint by buffing it for 1st timer?? Especially using the ultimate compound Is it that hard to learn how to buff a car?
nymxcar 2 years ago
using ultimate compound will not hurt your paint if you use it by hand or DA.
meguiarsasia 2 years ago
so it's okay to use this in the sun? the car doesn't have to be cool? Can I use an orbital buffer/polisher to apply this? Should I use a terrycloth pad? Will this help with my chalky looking paint on my car? Will it restore shine? I love these products so I picked up a bottle of Ultimate Compound. thanks in advance!
clhdrums87 2 years ago
it should be used in the shade, yes you can use an orbital buffer or polisher. Terrycloth pad would work but microfiber or foam polishing pad is better. This product will bring back the shine and color, yes. After this product you should protect it with a product like tech wax 2.0.
meguiarsasia 2 years ago
ok great thx. i tried to clay it over, and repeat the 3 step system. it look ok then, but the scratch is still visible under the sunlight. anyway, it looked 60% better than before. one more ques, how long will the carnauba wax last and how many times i need to polish in a year? BIG THANKS!
niteskater 2 years ago
Carnauba wax in hot and extreme sun will burn off within a short time, if you use UQW the protection will last forever as long as you maintain it!
