Our take on the Meguiars Ultimate Compound

Meguiar's Ultimate Compound is a liquid paint correction product for removing scratches, swirls, oxidation and water spots from clear-coated paint. Its micro-abrasive formula is designed to cut like a heavy compound while leaving fewer scratches of its own, and it can be used by hand or with a dual action/random orbit polisher. It suits DIY detailers reviving neglected or swirled paint before polishing and waxing. Against traditional heavy compounds it trades some aggression for a safer, more forgiving finish on clear coats.
