Meguiar's Store has always supply first grade products. I have no complaint and product does exactly what it entails. Meguiar's Ultimate Compound has garnered numerous positive reviews from users who praise its effectiveness in restoring vehicle paintwork. Many appreciate its ability to remove scratches, oxidation, and water spots, resulting in a glossy, showroom-like finish. Users often highlight its ease of application, whether applied by hand or with a dual-action polisher.

If you think this is going to magic, it's not. BUT, it really does remove many scratches. I have a teen learning to drive, and so we routinely find our car backed up into posts and bushes, etc., even AFTER replacing the back end due to an accident (the teen was uninvolved). So, now that I read what I just wrote, I see we seem to be scratching our cars (we also live in the desert, which doesn't help). And, I'd say for many of our scratches, even relatively significant ones, it really truly works.But, then again, we have some whoppers and, well, it reduces their harshness... but those don't disappear.So, it's not magic, nor is it snake oil... it's a product that works on many modest scratches in ways that make me and my family feel like we are treating our cars properly.hope that helps.

Works well

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 behindI 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 built a guitar, finished it with automotive products, and of course there was orange peel in the finish. So I sanded it smooth, and then used this to polish the sand marks out. It worked excellently. Super shiny and smooth, easy to use, easy to wipe off the project when done, and.... just looks awesome.

Product worked very well to remove stubborn buildup on a 10 yr old vehicle and return it to a polished shine. I would describe this as a strong cleaner and polisher in one, which works impressively well for a relatively low price. I had some combo of water stains/marks, oxidation, and other gunk built up on the car, especially the hood and top. I began with a simple soft kitchen sponge and worked the product in repeating circles in small sections and it limited physical effort, I was able to loosen and remove all the stuff on there when I wiped the product away clean with a microfiber rag. I repeated this process over the hood, select other areas like the back of the mirrors, and then got to work on the top of the car which was the worst. I was most impressed by how relatively easy it was to use without scratching or damaging the paint - rather, it left behind a nice shine from just wiping it down and then giving it a little extra buff with a clean microfiber rag. Would most definitely recommend for freshening up neglected car paint, and even taking care of some other blemishes along the way. that said, I wouldnt say this was very effective on real nicks and scratches, but did help with some other blemishes along the way.

Worked just okay for me. The main problem I had was that it kept drying before I could even make 2 to 3 passes. THEN, trying to get it off took some elbow power. Sprayed a little water on it and that helped but was still hard to remove. Didn't do much on the light scratch marks but that may be due to not being able to slowly go over each section with 3 passes.

I have a metallic blue colored car and this stuff removed scuff marks and light surface scratches really well. The scratches by the door handle are gone! Deeper scratches required more scrubbing and repeat application. Those deep scratches are not entirely gone but it was an improvement, I was surprised it worked at all. I wish this came with a cloth or foam applicator. I used a microfiber towel (I already had at home) it was fine. I recommend working in a small area at a time to focus on the specific spot, it dries pretty fast so have the another microfiber towel ready to wipe away.
