Meguiar's G17216EU Ultimate Compound Colour & Clarity Restorer 450ml for hand or machine polisher application

Product Information

The way it came into your possession is irrelevant; the bottom line is that the car needs serious auto detailing that may include a certain degree of paint correction. Torque Detail’s Reverse Scratch Remover is an all-in-one paint correction compound that removes scratches, swirl marks, water spots, oxidation, spider marks, and other blemishes that may be on your car’s paint. When applying it by hand, shake the bottle vigorously and squeeze a few drops of the product onto a foam applicator pad.

When applying the product using a hand-held foam pad applicator, first shake the bottle vigorously and then squeeze a few drops onto your foam applicator and spread a thin film of the product over your working surface. The family business now manufactures more than 300 different cleaners, polishes, waxes, conditioners, and protectants for homes, cars, boats, trains and planes, and almost every other type of surface. Whether working by hand or with a DA polisher, Ultimate Compound is the perfect choice to prepare your paints surface for your favourite Meguiars wax. This is because the compound starts to dry out when left too long on car paint; when it starts to dry, it is much harder to work with and also harder to remove, so it is in your best interests to work the surface while the compound is still moist and dense. I used it yesterday for the first time and it was much easier to use than other products I've used and it gave a fantastic finish.Combining their three favourite ultimate paintwork products into one complete Meguiars Ultimate Paint Care Kit. The before and after results definitely showed an improvement, with the swirl marks removed and deeper scratches looking diminished. Unlike traditional rubbing and polishing compounds that scour painted surfaces with coarse abrasives, Meguiar's Ultimate Compound uses precision-milled micro-abrasives to burnish out blemishes and produce an amazingly clear finish free of hazing and swirls, ready for the final polishing step. Ultimate Compound does not present this problem, I haven’t had to deal with any fling or dust, and the residue has been easy to remove. According to Meguairs, Ultimate Compound is superior to traditional compounds because it has 'micro-abrasive technology,' which leaves a more even finish thanks to its finer consistency.

Worth noting is that these products will not leave any protection on your car’s paint, so you need to apply a coat of cleaner wax or paint sealant after working with these products. Only 1-2 pea-sized drops of product are required to polish a 12 x 12 area, and these should be worked in as firmly and evenly as possible until only an oily film remains. Ultimate compound is not a highly aggressive polish but is sufficient to bring neglected paint work back to a shine.

I find using it in conjunction with a glaze and wax can give paint excellent shine, even without the use of a machine polisher. You don’t need to do any further polishing, however applying a glaze to the paint will temporarily mask some imperfections and further improve the visual appearance of the car.

But despite this huge growth, Meguiar’s have never lost track of their core values – providing a high-quality, affordable product available to ALL can enthusiasts! I was sceptical about the results of restoring faded paint on the roof of this unloved Scirocco, but it made the fading unnoticeable, something which I was amazed by! It is a mild abrasive which can clean the surface of the paint of oxidisation which cannot be removed by ordinary washing alone. When you are done claying your entire car, hose it down with plenty of water and dry it using plush microfiber towels.Something as simple as a water spot can spoil the look of a freshly cleaned car, and potentially cause damage to the surface of the paint. Once the product begins to turn to a haze on the paintwork, take a clean microfiber or cotton terry towel and remove the residue.

I tried polishing by hand on the same bonnet, resulting in deeper clarity, with the paint on the right-hand side appearing a truer shade of black.

This averaged out to 4 micrometres, which is slightly more than the level of cut I would expect from a polish like Menzerna 2500 but is not as aggressive as many heavy cut compounds. The plastic bag will improve your sense of touch, so you will be able to notice sections of paint with imperfections or roughness indicative of embedded contaminants.

Meguiar's Ultimate Compound quickly removes stubborn oxidation, stains, bird dropping etching and other signs of wear and tear while simultaneously restoring a high gloss finish. Meguiar’s Ultimate Compound is a staple of the ‘Weekend Warrior’, it is simple to use by either hand or machine and can still produce good results. Cobweb scratches are commonly caused by everyday wear and tear, however something as simple as using the wrong washing mitt or drying towel can have a similar effect. Once complete, apply a small amount of Ultimate Compound to the Even Coat applicator pad and work in an up and down, left to right motion applying moderate pressure.
