## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this suitable for light scratches on a pearlescent (Blue) car finish, if not any recommendations appreciated.**
A: It workes on all paints finish

**Q: My car has been keyed, will this at least cover it up a bit? I’m under no illusion that it will remove it, just don’t want it to be so visible**
A: It may help but it depends on how badly the paintwork has been cut.  The deeper the scratch, the less likely it is that it will be covered up.

**Q: How long do the effects last?**
A: Before we used this, we had realised just how many swirls were on our bullet grey Jag X Type. When the sun shone , even after being waxed, our car just ‘Glared’ brightly.
We used this, then their polish, then their wax.
Now it’s like glass.
In regards to your question, we use it yearly.
We polisher it 6 monthly and wax it 3 monthly. Go for it!

**Q: Will this work on dvds?**
A: DVD,s?? It takes a small amount of the paint surface off so guess it would damage a dvd surface. I used Duraglit on a cd once to remove scratches, that came out OK as its used for cleaning silver etc so not very abrasive.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good product
*by L***G on 17 September 2025*

I’ve used ultimate compound for a number of years alongside other Meguiars compounds. A product I trust and use by hand with the foam pads. Great for fine scratches where scratch X doesn’t work.
