Ultimate Compound

Re: Ultimate Compound

I will pick up some Ultimate Compound asap and apply it the next nice day we have.

We need a follow-up?

Re: Ultimate Compound

One quick question regarding this product...the sample I have is very runny (liquid) ...is not separated or anything but it's consistency is not as thick as other compounds. Any thoughts?

Alex

It should be more lotion like, than water like, which of these two choices best describes your product?

Re: Ultimate Compound

Can I use this stuff with a high speed polisher.

Didn't we meet in Florida?

I've read your posts on ShowCarDetailing, if you're wanting a product for use with a rotary buffer then check our M105 and M205, both of these products can be used by hand, DA Polisher and Rotary Buffer.

The swirl and scratch removers in our Consumer Line are not formulated for use with a rotary buffer where more heat tends to be generated and are more specifically formulated for use by hand or DA Polishers.

Both systems work great when used correctly.

A rotary? No.

A dual action buffer? Yes. (PC 7424, G110, UDM all work)

Re: Ultimate Compound

Just used some tonight at the open garage. Stuff is pretty amazing. So I bought some on my way home

Re: Ultimate Compound

This is true (your last statement). I really appreciate the advice, and I will pick up some Ultimate Compound asap and apply it the next nice day we have. I really hope this does the trick, as I am growing increasingly tired of trying different products, and even more tired of having to ride around with these horrible waterspots!

I have some issues that I thought *might* be waterspots, and today I tried for the last time to remove them. Mine are really hard to see, so I don't really know what they are, but I know your pain!!! It really ***** to love your car and have these defects.

I hope UC will work for you.

Re: Ultimate Compound

Ultimate Compound is our most aggressive product in our Consumer Line and based upon first hand experience it will either remove the defects or they can't be removed by anything.

You have to be careful because you only have so much paint thickness or film-build to work with and this new product is aggressive enough that you could remove too much paint and expose the color coat under the clear coat.



What you've read on other forums is probably old.

• ScratchX has been around since the early 1990's.
• I've been posting to vBulletin style forums since 2002 and the Usenet Newsgroups since 1994

Now follow me on this...

• Ultimate Compound just came onto the market this year, that is 2009

It would be very easy to find plenty of posts where ScratchX is being recommended because it was the only hand-applied swirl and scratch remover that didn't also instill scratches on the market until we introduced our new SMAT - Super Micro Abrasive Technology into our Consumer Line at the end of 2008 at SEMA and now, here we are in February, only 2 months into the new year, and our new products are now starting to find their way onto store shelves and thus into the garages of enthusiasts and then into reviews and comments posted on discussion forums.

By all means, get some Ultimate Compound. It is the best hand applied swirl and scratch remover on the market today and since the abrasive technology is exclusive to Meguiar's chances are good it's going to take a while for someone to copy us and/or discover something that works better.

If you're a car enthusiasts or a detailer at any level, the Ultimate Compound is a product you should have in your arsenal to products. Period.

I wouldn't leave home without it. By that I mean, anytime I do mobil detail work I often times must drive to the customer and in SoCal that's no small thing with traffic and congestion, and the fact that I live out in the desert miles away from where all the work is usually done.

I would not pack up my gear and drive a couple of hours one way to work on a car without a number of products and tools in the back of my truck and Ultimate Compound is one of those must-have products.

Apply with a clean, foam applicator pad and do a test spot before going over the entire car. Ultimate Compound works. The biggest variable is a lot of people don't know the right technique for working ANY paint cleaner against a scratch-sensitive clear coat paint not to mention skill level and experience.

The good news however is after doing a test spot if you're not seeing the results you want you can always come back to the forum and we'll help you to tweak your technique.

Re: Ultimate Compound

Mike in your opinion will this product be the best for etched in acid rain spots, or should I try the ScratchX 2.0?

I read in other forums on this site that you believed ScratchX 2.0 would do the trick. But you have also stated that the Ultimate Compound is more aggressive.

Re: Ultimate Compound

Anybody noticed on the back label, "compound" isnt capitalized under the Pro-Tip section.

Re: Ultimate Compound

Obviously go with what Mike said. I have some spots that I'm guessing could be acid rain as well and have had a post about them.

For me, the only thing that began to touch them was M105 the very aggressive product, combined with my G110.

So if the Ultimate Compuond still isn't enough, you might try M105 someday too.

I think normally something like UC should work, but again Mike will know more.

I may just try M105 to begin with. I am tired of spending money on products that don't work. I want to try something aggressive that has a better chance of actually working.

I read in other forums on this site that you believed ScratchX 2.0 would do the trick. But you have also stated that the Ultimate Compound is more aggresive. And I think I need to pull out the big guns for these spots. I have washed, waxed, and clay barred the car to death. I even tested a little rubbing compound. Lol. Nothing has worked!
