Ultimate Compound Question

[USMC11]

Hello all! New to the forums so first wanted to say what's up to everyone!

So I got a new hood for my Dodge Ram recently that was used which had some very bad holograms in it....looked real nasty. I just finished using Ultimate Compound on it ant it took everything away. Great product!!!

One question though: Because the hood had these holograms, do I need to re-apply Ultimate Compound every time I wash and wax to cover them? or does ultimate compound work as a one time solution for this type of thing?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Seeing this is your first post, Welcome to MOL!


Providing you used proper technique, Ultimate Compound should have removed the holograms, not just filled them. So unless you are using products and tools that will scratch your paint (meaning you are not instilling scratches and swirls back into the paint when touching it), you shouldn't have to use UC every time you wash/wax the car. Hope that helps!

Yeah, you'll just have to see after a couple washes to be sure you got everything, or if some more touch-ups are needed.

Other than that, unless you/someone cause more swirls/scratches, it wont be needed again. You would want something milder like SwirlX for regular details.
