Ultimate compound, Will it do all these?

[VaerO]

Hello,
Is it worth buying the following?

- COLOURx
- SwirlX
- ScratchX 2.0

Or does ultimate compound do what these 3 products do but from one bottle?
I have a white Nissan Pulsar so would the COLOURx bring out any more from the paint that the Ultimate compound already does?
Also my car, being a 1994 model has a lot of scratches on it. The ultimate compound got rid of a lot of the small minor scratches but there are still plenty of other scratches left to be worked out. Would swirlX or ScratchX 2.0 get any scratches out that the ultimate compound didn't?

Thanks.

to MOL!

ColourX is in a different league than the rest of the products you mentioned. It's a very mild cleaner that leaves behind some protection.

Ultimate Compound, SwirlX and ScratchX 2.0 all serve the same purpose. They are all cleaner polishes and they vary on how aggressive they are. Ultimate Compound is the most aggressive of them all followed by ScratchX 2.0 then SwirlX. Since your car is a 1994 with a lot of swirls, you're most likely going to benefit from Ultimate Compound. SwirlX nor ScratchX 2.0 will take out the scratches that the UC didn't because UC is the most aggressive of them all.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the fast reply

So would I benefit from including ColourX in my prep routine? And what about the rest of the scratches? Will I just have to keep going over them with UC till they come out?

ps: My car is white, does ColourX even do anything for white cars?

Re: Ultimate compound, Will it do all these?

yes, but i would use it separately. After correction, polishing and protection, in the next "detail" instead of going through the Ultimate compound, swirlX or ultimate polish, wax/sealant, i would instead do clay, colorX and wax/sealant. And even after all the full detail and proper paint maintenance has been done, your white paint will still build up stain and discoloration, with colorX being a cleaner-wax, it will be a good short cut, it will be strong enough to bring out the whiteness of the paint once again.

ScratchX will remove scratches, but if it is a bit deep, it can still help by making it less noticeable. Just don't overdo it, the risk of removing too much paint is a big risk.
