Ultimate Compound works quickly to remove below surface defects and restore color and clarity without scratching or swirling.

Review: Brings Old Paint Back to Life with a Deep Mirror Shine - Brings Old Paint Back to Life with a Deep Mirror Shine Meguiar’s Ultimate Polish is one of those car care products that actually earns its name. I used it after a full wash and clay bar treatment on a 12-year-old sedan that hadn’t seen a proper polish in years—and the results were remarkable. The paint went from flat and tired to glossy and rich, with that “wet look” depth that’s usually only seen on freshly detailed show cars. Application is straightforward: a small amount on a foam pad, work it in evenly, then buff off with a clean microfiber towel before it dries. It goes on smoothly and wipes off easier if you do smaller sections at a time. For best results, I paired it with Meguiar’s Ultimate Compound first to remove deeper oxidation and swirl marks, then followed with this polish to refine the finish before waxing. Even on dark paint, the reflections looked dramatically sharper and clearer afterward. What stands out is how forgiving it is—gentle enough for beginners yet effective enough for enthusiasts. It’s safe on clear coats, doesn’t stain trim, and leaves the surface prepped perfectly for wax or sealant. Used by hand, it takes a bit of elbow grease; with a dual-action polisher, it’s a breeze and produces a truly professional finish. Bottom line: an outstanding finishing polish that restores depth and gloss to aging paint and preps perfectly for wax. For under ten dollars, this is one of the best DIY detailing upgrades you can make—turns dull paint into a head-turner with minimal effort.
Review: One of the best worry-free and effective polishes for beginner to pro - There are a million detailing products out there, and Ultimate Polish is one that I keep coming back to. If you're a do-it-yourself / hobby / weekend detailer, this is one of the best finishing polishes. It won't correct deep scratches, but that's not what it's meant for. A finishing polish is meant to add that final clarity, depth of color, and gloss for paint that is already in decent or good condition. Especially if you have dark colored paint, this step is necessary for that perfect finish. If you do have deeper scratches / defects / oxidation, you will need to use a compound first, such as Meguiar's Ultimate Compound. Ultimate Compound and Ultimate Polish are the "consumer" versions of their M105 and M205 products. The key difference is that the consumer versions are slightly less aggressive (meaning that they take off less clear coat) and have a longer working time (meaning if you polish too long or with too little product you're at less risk for damaging the paint). For most of us who aren't preparing show cars and who do not want to risk ruining their paint, the choice is easy. Be sure to pair each with an appropriate pad. Foam pads are easy to work with, but the colors / aggressiveness varies between brands. If you're new, look for a light to medium cut pad for the Compound, and a finishing pad (usually black) for the Polish. Run slower speed and less pressure with the polish - especially on black paint. And if you're new, definitely use a dual action (a.k.a. random orbital) polisher instead of a rotary - less risky and easier to use. Meguiars has a TON of different polishes in their pro line for specific use cases, body shops, etc (such as M200, M205, M210). I've researched the heck out of these but it boils down to the fact that I don't want to buy all of them and fuss with it. I've read that M210 is specific to finicky black paint and works well, but it may interact poorly with trim pieces and other non-paint materials (plus it's sold in a big/expensive bottle). One thing I like about Ultimate Polish is how it barely leaves residue on trim so I don't waste time with painter's tape. Basically - if you want to get into polishing but are overwhelmed by all of the options and information - Ultimate Polish is arguably your best place to start. And if you're like me - you just keep using it.

## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best value for the items included in the kit and a breeze to use
*by B***9 on January 22, 2026*

This was the best price found online and all the items included were definitely a plus. Having three clay bars, the Quik Detailer and Premium Microfiber cloth all in one package was a real value. Other clay kits have different composition of items included, but this one was the best value IMHO. Plus, the instructions were very easy to follow and worked well, easier than I had expected. Overall, its a great investment in keeping up and maintaining the appearance of your vehicle.
