Which is more aggressive?

Re: Which is more aggressive?

It certainly looks in the ball park.

Are you certain that the swirls are not being removed, and that it is not small swirls moving around and being put back into the paint?

Can anyone confirm the accuracy of this chart. Any of the Meguiar's chart that I have seen list M105 as being more aggressive than M95. It makes me question the remainder of the chart. Maybe they are just lumping them into one level of aggressiveness (meaning there is no particular order if they are in the pink area).

UC is close to 105. #95 is for rotary use.

Re: Which is more aggressive?

Okay, I am using the black bottle UC with a Porter Cable DA. I am having trouble getting some relatively fine scratches out this way. I don't see how the fine cut and medium cut stack up against the 105 and 95 and UC in the last post (which by the way was great). Any suggestions? I may have let my pad get too full and that may have cut down on the cutting strength.

Sounds like we might be running two product names together? Ultimate Compound (UC) is the Consumer Line product in the black bottle?

You are working by DA, hand, etc?

That is getting into really strong products, dont want to cause a bigger problem on the paint if it is not what you needed.

I am working on a 15 year old paint job color and clear coat on a '69 Chevelle. I need one step stronger than the ultimate compound, I thought it would be UC, then fine cut then medium cut, maybe not.

Re: Which is more aggressive?

1. Definitely Ultimate Compound.

2. You'll have to judge yourself as it does depend on paint. You could follow UC with SwirlX.

Re: Which is more aggressive?

1. Ultimate Compound is stronger.

2. Possibly, some paints may not finish out perfectly from a strong product.

What are you working on and trying to do?

[JonH]

1. Trying to work some scratches out, which is more aggressive, ultimate compoung or fine cut cleaner?
2. If I buff out the car with the ultiamte compound, do I need a step betrween that and polish?
Thanks in advance. Jon
