Ultimate Polish

Re: Ultimate Polish

This is just my opinion, others may wish to correct me. By the time you get to Ultimate Polish your corrective work, for the most part, should be complete. Ultimate Polish is the crowning glory, protect it with a nice coat of your wax or sealant of preference.

That's my assessment of Ultimate polish as well.

Re: Ultimate Polish

UP corrects but is also a glaze. It has polishing oils that darken the paint. I think IPA would remove them and reduce its benefit.

If your using UltPolish for it's mildly abrasive qualities, they you may wish to do an IPA looking for last by now small defects and either correct again or another run of UltPolish with a softer pad and slower speeds for polishing.

I love the stuff.

Re: Ultimate Polish

does this product need to be wiped off with a QD or IPA before applying NXT 2.0?

Re: Ultimate Polish

I did a comparison of Swirlx, M205 and UP in my review. Check it out to see the differences in each.

Re: Ultimate Polish

And Swirl-X/Ultimate Compound will still be the first step for paint correction (After clay bar of course)?

I think swirlX is a bit close to the Ultimate polish in terms of aggressiveness. I would think that the Clay/Ultimate compound/Ultimate polish/Ultimate wax is the way to go in terms of progression and correction.

Re: Ultimate Polish

I want to make sure I understand the placement of this product. Ultimate Polish could be used in place of the old Deep Crystal Polish, correct? And Swirl-X/Ultimate Compound will still be the first step for paint correction (After clay bar of course)?

Of course! But, I would recommend giving Ultimate Wax a shot.

Re: Ultimate Polish

I just got this too! I noticed there's a little bit more product (16oz) compare to UC and SwirlX, which had 15.2oz. Can't wait to try it out with my G110v2, and comparison with M205.

Re: Ultimate Polish

Ultimate Polish on a foam finishing pad should be safe for use on a clear bra - we've known people to use M205 and even PlastX this way with great results. Just always keep in mind that most clear protective film makers bluntly state not to use any abrasive product on the material, and all three of those are, technically, abrasive products.

That really means this: Meguiar's does not recommend these products for use on clear protective film (no matter the anecdotal evidence we've seen from some users) so any such use is done at your own risk.

Re: Ultimate Polish

Forgive me for asking here and the MF D/A System thread, has anyone tried Ultimate Polish on a clear bra?

[Michael Stoops]

Re: Ultimate Polish

That's what I'm looking for, especially with UP being such a new product with so little in the way of real world experience available to draw from.

It might be new, but it is based on M205 and that product has a very strong following, with a proven track record.

So, Michael, I know that UC and UP are designed for use by hand or DA. What about a rotary at steady low speed (600 RPM) via Makita 9227?

We've seen people get really good results using UC on a rotary, even though, technically, it isn't rated for that tool. One would suspect that an experiment with UP at low speed on a rotary could quite possibly yield very good results. You certainly aren't going to hurt anything playing with it - if it works great, it works great. If not, no harm, no foul. It's the repeatability on various paint systems that comes into question when using a product outside its design parameters.
