## Description

This revolutionary product dramatically reduces the time and effort required to restore abused or neglected paint finishes. Unlike traditional compounds that can leave behind fine scratches and haze, Meguiar's Ultimate Compound cuts so fast and leaves the finish looking so good, it's hard to believe possible. The secret is Meguiar's exclusive micro-abrasive technology created for state-of-the-art products for body shops and detailers. Ultimate Compound works quickly to remove below surface defects and restore color and clarity without scratching or swirling.

Review: Good stuff - Very effective at restoring paint work. Have used this on paint work which had not been looked after for some time - was dull and stained. Oxidisation is easy to polish out with this product, deep stains were not so easy, and takes quite a few applications. But, that's what I'd expected. Overall, this will greatly improve the appearance of neglected paint, with no expert skills required.
Review: Meguiars Masterpiece - Great compound, I have, in the summer, a garge full of car cleaning products, some only last a few days and some are hard work to apply. I get a great result on my my clear coat finish on my Honda Accord, which is very soft, just like new with a moderate amount of effort. Word of warning, don't leave car care products in the garage over the winter, if they freeze in their containers they are ruined, I put mine in a box and put the in the loft out of harms way.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it ok to only compound the car and not follow up with wax? I would like to wax it ask well but it ended up getting dark and I ran out of time.**
A: okay ... so "follow up with a polish".    What's a "polish"?   I get confused with terms like polish, sealer, paint-protectant,  conditioner,  detailer, cleaner etc.  Meguiar's has 100's of different products for car finishes.  Be honest, it's all a scam ... isn't it?

**Q: Can this be used to remove the thin scratches caused by car key**
A: If the scratches aren't too deep it should work well. I was able to remove probably 85% of the surface scratches on my truck.

**Q: I'm repairing a paint chip and a couple scratches. What is the difference between this, rubbing compound and polishing compound?**
A: Paint chip? HOLD ON THERE! Compounding will make your paint chip worse by continuing to peel the paint off where the chip is. Compounds are technically abrasives. Consult a body shop before proceeding!

**Q: The description says "8 ounces" but the label says "15.2." Which is correct?**
A: The "8 ounces" would be the weight, half a pound.  The "15.2" is incomplete -- it is "15.2 fl oz" -- and indicates the volume, just under a pint.
