Meguiars Ultimate Compound Colour & Clarity Restorer 450ml for Hand or Machine Polisher Application - G17216EU

Great Results by Hand – Restored Colour and Shine!Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5)I used Meguiar’s G17216EU Ultimate Compound by hand on my VW Golf Mk7.5, and I’m genuinely impressed with the results. The paint had some light swirling, oxidation, and a couple of marks that were bothering me – this product really helped bring back clarity and depth to the finish.Application was straightforward, though you do need to work it in properly with consistent pressure. It’s a bit of a workout by hand, but definitely worth it. I found it best to do small sections at a time and wipe off before it fully dries, otherwise removal can be a bit tricky. If it does dry up, adding a little fresh product over the area helps it come off easier.What stood out the most is how much richer and glossier the paint looked afterwards. It even reduced the visibility of a deeper scratch more than I expected. I’d imagine results with a dual-action polisher would be even better, but for hand use – it’s seriously impressive.Highly recommended if you want to restore your paint’s clarity without jumping straight to more aggressive options

I recently purchased Meguiar's Ultimate Compound and it has exceeded my expectations! This product is a game changer for restoring the clarity and color of my car's paint. The application is incredibly easy, whether using a machine polisher or doing it by hand.After just one use, I noticed a significant reduction in scratches and swirl marks, leaving a smooth, glossy finish that looks like new. The formula works wonders on both old and new paint, making it versatile for any vehicle.I appreciate how little product is needed to achieve impressive results, so this bottle goes a long way. If you're looking to bring back the shine and protect your car's exterior, I highly recommend Meguiar's Ultimate Compound. It’s definitely worth adding to your detailing arsenal!

At first this seemed to work really well, but after a few weeks it seems to have have left smears on paintwork. Maybe I havn't polished it in enough. The paint work does still have a shine, where as before it faded quickly.In the future I think I'll need to use an electric polisher for better results

The best product I’ve ever purchased, the final results where perfect and no hassle at all cars looking brand new A*

Easy application. Easy to buff up and gives a great shine. Water dispersal is great. Im happy.

Read full review for Top Tips . I used this product with some "wool" buffing discs from another seller. It seemed great whilst it was working, and also seemed to reduce some very light scratches. I thought this would take care of the swirl marks but instead found it created more. The next day looking at the car in full sun, I thought I'd I ruined the paint work to be honest. The light reflected differently, almost like a very light brushed steel effect, from certain angles. I picked up some Turtle Wax - wax to help restore the shine which thankfully it did. (to be fair, Meguiars compound does say you can "wax afterwards to give a better protection").This acted as a great cleaner, and got insects and grime off easily I guess. It reduced the appearance of scratches but you have to wax afterwards, this does not do what the image implies on the bottle. Maybe if your car/paint job is really old, it may have a more positive effect. Ours is a 3 year old black car.Finally, this will completely lighten your black plastic trim, but!.. A great youtube hack was to use a standard eraser/rubber, like you'd use to rub out pencil. This removed the dried on residual product which got on to the plastic trim.Also, do not get this on your wing mirrors or any glass, as it can cause fine scratches.

Great product, easy to use

Excellent product
