  1. Love always 22

    Great value and great product
    This stuff works AH-MAZING! I have a red civic and I had a bunch of scratches by the gas tank door. My husband used this product and after 5 minutes of using it all the scratches were gone. He used a microfiber cloth when rubbing the compound on. Worked just as I had hoped it would. Fantastic product. Five stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    My Go-To Car Scratch Remover and Paint Restorer!
    I recently tried Meguiar’s Ultimate Compound to tackle some scratches and swirl marks on my car, and I’m thoroughly impressed with the results! This product truly lives up to its reputation as a pro-grade car scratch remover and paint correction compound.Effectiveness:The standout feature of this compound is its micro-abrasive technology, which works wonders in removing below-surface defects like scratches, oxidation, and water spots. It not only removes imperfections but also restores the paint’s color and clarity without leaving additional scratches or swirl marks behindI used it on a few fine scratches caused by an automatic car wash, and they were significantly reduced after just one application.Ease of Use:One of the best things about this product is its versatility. It can be applied by hand or with a machine, making it accessible for both beginners and experienced detailers. I personally applied it by hand, and while it required a bit of elbow grease, the results were worth it. For deeper scratches, using a machine polisher might yield even better results.Finish and Shine:Not only does this product remove defects, but it also leaves behind a beautiful glossy finish. After using it, my car’s paint looked noticeably brighter and smoother, almost like it had been professionally detailed.Pros:Effectively removes light to moderate scratches, swirl marks, and oxidation.Restores paint clarity and adds a glossy shine.Safe for all glossy paints and clear coats.Can be used by hand or machine, making it versatile for different users.Cons:For deeper scratches, it may require multiple applications or a machine polisher for optimal results.If overused or applied incorrectly, there’s a slight risk of damaging the paint, so follow the instructions carefully.Overall Rating:I would give Meguiar’s Ultimate Compound a solid 5/5 stars. It’s an excellent product for anyone looking to restore their car’s paint and remove imperfections without spending a fortune on professional detailing. Whether you’re a car enthusiast or just want to keep your vehicle looking its best, this is a must-have in your car care arsenal!

    I mean it is meguiars afterall
    It cuts through swirls so well I briefly considered using it on my phone screen and kitchen table. A little elbow grease and it’s like giving your paint a second chance at life. Just be warned—you might end up polishing stuff that wasn’t even scratched. 😄🚗

    Worked Like a Charm!
    Amazing product! The color of my car is Manufacture White Diamond. I took note of a place about the size of a golf ball on the hood that was very dull and did not have a high gloss appearance. I asked the service team at the dealership, and they recommended I try Meguiar’s Compound. When I first used it, I saw no difference, so I applied it a few more times, applying a little more pressure. I was absolutely amazed and thrilled to see the place magically disappear as the high gloss emerged. I then used it on a couple other minor scratches, and they also disappeared. Thank you!

    Amazingly effective stuff. Made my scratch invisible.
    Amazing stuff!  I developed what looked like a fairly deep scratch about 4 inches long that was half on the body of my car and half on the tail light. When I initially applied the stuff and rubbed it off, what was left was a white line, which was no worse than what I was expecting. However, I repeated the application several times, and each time the scratch seemed to grow shorter and less conspicuous. I continued with the application and rub-off several times. Eventually the scratch on both the body of my car and the tail light seemed to disappear entirely. It took about two more applications for the tail light than for the body. The attached image shows just how invisible that scratch has become. I didn’t take a “before” picture because I didn’t expect the product to work even a little. I was expecting to return it for a refund, but it worked so well that we then used it on another scratch on another vehicle and got the same results. I don’t know how durable this stuff will be, but it was so easy to apply that I will happily re-apply it when the time comes. Ease of application:Easy enough even for me.  I rubbed the stuff on with a cloth that one one side was microfiber and on the other more like a chamois. Immediately after applying the compound, I rubbed it off with the chamois side of the cloth. To my great surprise, it worked!  Effectiveness:As you can see in the attached photo, the scratch is not visible anymore.  Not even a little. My guess is that the scratch was shallower than it looked (thankfully), but this stuff worked even on the plastic of my rear light.

    Easy and quick to use!
    Really easy to use and does the job. Used it on my Porsche to remove a few front scratches and on my daughter’s plastic molded bumper. Followed up with a good wax and it looks perfect.

    Meh… not a scratch remover
    It is a polisher and masks tiny irregularities, not any real scratches. Also the cap is not suitable for this product I think, it splashes everywhere when you push open thumb cap.

    Trustworthy I’m Ecstatic to $ave
    I get tired of writing reviews (especially just screws 😏 from Lowe’s) but after trying a small bottle of something else on a different vehicle I was apprehensive. I was resigned to think it would take a $500 Detail job to deal with scratches that wild turkeys did from pecking their reflections. Hard to capture on photo with reflections.The scratches are the streaks in the white pvc reflections. After, streaks (scratches) are gone. I mean GONE not just makeup appliqué. One Caveat: I’m glad I read instructions! Not like rubbing compounds that dry before buffing. “work small areas at a time. Do not let it dry. Use quality microfiber cloth to buff.

    Ótimo produto. Voltou o brilho original da pintura.

    Ho acquistato questo prodotto per lucidare la mia auto Nera dopo ben 3 passate devo dire che ha tolto l80 percento dei difetti sono soddisfatto del risultato migliora anche la lucentezza della vernice ovvio che non fa miracoli !! Ma migliora la situazione.. in ogni caso vi consiglio di fare una prova su una piccola porzione di vernice o quello che si vuole lucidare per vedere eventuali reazioni strane.. per grosse superfici ad esempio cofani e portiere di auto vi consiglio di procedere a piccole aree alla volta e di farlo in un luogo chiuso perché il prodotto tende a seccare presto rovinando il lavoro questo poi dipende se lo passate a mano o con uno strumento meccanico io che sono inesperto ho provato a mano, il risultato è buono ma ovviamente non sostituisce un lavoro fatto da un bravo carrozziere, concludo dicendo che se la vostra auto presenta ossidazione macchie d’acqua o di resina o graffi di piccola entità non profondi allora il prodotto è ottimo ma per problemi più gravi.. rivolgetevi a professionisti.

    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.
