    This is what I wanted to know. Thanks Mike

    Perhaps this product can be added to the "order of agressivness chart" which we often see circulating around?

We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

    Would this be something the "average joe" could use with a flying saucer type orbital buffer with any success?

In the general consumer space people tend to look for a product that addresses a specific need they have - scratch removal, water spots, oxidation, etc - because they haven't been fully educated about car care. For example, you'd be amazed how many people still think a wax should remove all those defects and they call and complain when it doesn't.

    For enthusiasts who spend time on detailing forums, those of you for whom this is a hobby that you're very immersed in, you know how diverse certain products can be - like using Ultimate Compound for isolated scratches, swirls, oxidation, water spots, on either paint, chrome, glass, headlights, etc. The average guy on the street, however, would think we were nuts if we packaged a product that claimed to "do it all", which is what that list of things you can do with Ultimate Compound sounds like. People would think that was just a bunch of marketing hype, that we were overpromising what a product could do, and they wouldn't buy it.

    For those of you who are curious about a sprayable compound that might make it easier or more convenient to deliver product to your buffing pad, this could be just what you're looking for. Of course, you would not want to spray this onto a panel and then start machine polishing because you'd sling product all over the place!
    Great info....someone's been playing around with the product.

    Spray compounds are best sprayed onto the pad for better distribution and no sling.

    It's great to see Meg's coming out with new products that will directly compete with Optimum Polymer Technologies, Hi-Temp Detail Products and Duragloss.

    I think Megs has been doing that for many, many years.

    I would assume so as just about any product, and even some of the very soft microfiber towels tend to mar delicate paint. I think the answer would depend primarily on the paints delicacy, the user, products, and application.

    I was thinking specifically about the past few years; White Wax vs. Duragloss 501, Black Wax vs. Hi-Temp Midnight Express, Water Spot Remover vs. Optimum Hyper Polish/Hyper Compound, Meg's Ultimate Wash & Wax Anywhere vs. Optimum No-Rinse Wash & Shine and Meg's Ultimate Quick Wax vs. Duragloss AquaWax. The complete Ultimate line of products vs. the competition.

    Just saying it's nice to see new and improved products every year.

    On very soft paint, with a finishing pad and a light touch, it may or may not mar the finish. Really delicate paint often requires a special touch, regardless of product and pad used, and sometimes you can't help but create some micromarring while removing more severe defects. In that case, a follow up with a very fine finishing polish is called for. Of course, in some cases on delicate paint that finishing polish is all you need to correct defects. Depending on the defects, of course!
