Meguiar's G17216 Ultimate Compound Review

For the reviewer who used this and got a haze...
First off, you are supposed to rub it down until the micro abrasives break down, then it polishes to a shine.
Unlike a wax, you do not leave this on to rub off later!
Second, if you did have something to get off, the next one recommended is the Swirl-X product.
My car hadn't been washed in over a year and hadn't had a good polish and wax in several years.
A claying, a coat of this, a coat of swirl x, and then some NXT Wax brought my car's paint back from the dead.
My arm became dead. :)

Meguiar's G19216 Ultimate Polish - 16 oz. Review

I applied this polish to reduce fine swirl marks, and I am pleased by the results. The gloss is brilliant, and the paint is smooth and slick to the touch. I used a Porter Cable 7424XP with a polishing pad.
I did have to do the bulk of the truck a second time to eliminate all the fine swirl marks, but the swirl marks are gone.
I was surprised by how much the gloss was improved. The paint looks layered, deep and reflective. I was hesitant to apply a wax or sealant because of the paint's sparkle just with this polish. But I did add a wax to seal the job. And that seems to be where the issues started.
It is very difficult to remove all the polish residue with just a microfiber cloth, even when the Porter Cable has done a great job of reducing the polish. I still saw and felt some residue after I had gone over the entire vehicle twice with a microfiber cloth. I used a wet microfiber cloth to spit shine the finish (got this idea from Liquid Glass directions). The finish was not ideal, but I thought waxing would remove the final bits of streaking. It takes some work to remove all the polish residue.
I know technique matters a great deal when you apply polish and wax with a DA polisher, so I will chalk up the few issues I have with this polish to my imperfect technique and the cooler temperatures (not quite 60F). I will update as I use this product closer to spring.

This pre-waxing glaze eliminates fine swirl marks to produce deep, wet reflections with high gloss. Ultimate Polish also adds depth of color, especially on dark-colored cars, & leaves the paint finish incredibly clear & glossy with mirror-like reflections. The Ultimate pre-treatment before Meguiar's? Ultimate Wax!

I dont know who wrights these reviews, but this stuff would not take off oxidation on a lightly oxidized RV.
I tried real hard on one spot and looked real bad.

3M Rubbing Compound, 16 Oz Review

This product is excellent and when combined with 3M Cleaning Wax, you can restore just about anything easily.
I had a 1994 Corolla to restore that had never been detailed. It was originally red, but it was completely pink with oxidation.
It took four hours of hard work with a buffing machine, but this product brought that paint back to bright red. The car looks new now, except for the dings one could expect from 14 years of active use.
This product is easy to use and delivers great results. I have not tried other rubbing compounds, but this one is stellar and made my first paint detail a breeze.
