    Thanks so much Mike!!! I really appreciate the kind words.

    I'm hoping to convert him to Meguiar's by letting him use a great product that removes defects easily.

    Thanks Jesse.

    Thanks so much Eddie! Much appreciated

    Once again great work.
    Thanks so much Scott! You should post pics of your 95 Accord! What color is it?

    What a dramatic difference, which can be hard to capture on white.
    Thanks a lot Nick! I appreciate that. I was amazed at how well the pictures came out. The paint was just so bad that the camera was able to capture the dramatic difference even on white paint.

    I agree. Also, you can get them locally when you run out of polish.

    Well done, Marc.

    Ultimate Compound is a true compound capable of serious defect removal. I'm glad you had a good first experience using it.

    Nice 50/50 shots.
    Thanks a lot Greg! I wouldn't have tried it if it wasn't for your recommendation in your thread!

    Thank you Andy! I really hope that the owner notices a difference. White, silver or any light color makes it really hard to pop.

    What speed did you run the DA at?

    Results look great!
    Thank you Chethewitt! I was using the exact same settings as Mike Stoops, speed 5.

    Thanks David! Yeah I'm surprised myself. I thought it was inferior to M105 before so I didn't even bother trying it out. However, I admit that I'm completely wrong as this is good stuff and a great product for the price.

    You get props for being able to capture the swirls in the pics!

    As David says above, UC is becoming the New Wheaties (unlike the New Coke).

    Thanks a lot Bill! Much appreciated.

    Thank you Don! I'm also happy with how the reflection shots came out. Hope Mike Stoops will like them as well.
