Having used both, I prefer the Meg's for 2 reasons. 1) I like the thicker consistency of the Meg's. It is easier and faster to apply to the pad. 2) Meg's has a better cap on the bottle.
On my black show car nothing has ever worked better than Ultimate compound. I only use this product and Mequires #7 for the show car finish. Perfect every time. No wax ever.
MUC serves a specific purpose for me - when I want to remove light oxidation with an orange pad on pre-water based paint without taking off any more clearcoat than I wanted to. I actually do not want more cut, and it finishes down to a level that makes you ask yourself if you even want to bother with the light final polish (you do if you plan to benefit from any fillers). If I need more cut it's straight to Sonax, with the understanding it can't pass as well for a single pass product. Even then a yellow pad with MUC gets close to the performance. My current process for decent condition paint is MUC (orange pad) followed by Turtle Wax One and Done Compound/Polish (soft black pad).
Brian, you throughly test so many products we are very thankful to you for sharing your knowledge and helping us choose the products that offer good value in performance and cost. 👍🏻👍🏻
I've been using the ultimate duo for quite some time. I am a very happy weekend detailer over these two. But, if I had to pick a winner it would be Ice. It clearly did better with the coarse scratches . Since i have ultimate and know how it behaves, Ill keep using it rather than switch. I know both companies set out to promote a user-friendly scenario. but Ice isn't that much better, to make a switch. If you are going to purchase one or the other, flip a coin.
I purchased the Ultimate Compound, Polish, Wax system. The comments about Turtle Wax Ice Compound seems to be consistent. It is the same Achilles heel of all Turtle Wax products.... they have to work on the ease of removal compared to other Brands.
Meguiars is my trusted tried and true detailing company. While I use a lot of Pinnacle and Wolfgang products, all of my compounds and polishes are Megs. Great results from both products in this video, nice video.
Thanks for another great video, Brian. I use the Megs Ultimate Compound and Ultimate Polish for doing small spot corrections by hand on my black 370Z and the combination works well, after I had gained enough experience so as to know what I was doing. I use a silk cloth over a foam buffing pad for applying the compound and polish and it seems to work very well in getting a clear and deep gloss on the clearcoat. I think the TW ISC did a better job in correcting the scratches. Keep up the good work.
I'm impressed with the Turtle wax. I've used mckees37 swirl remover and it throws dust all over. not cheap either. tossing the mckees and going with the TW. thanks as always.
I've used both the Ultimate Compound, and the Ultimate Polish with decent results. I gotta say, I think the TW ICE Speed Compound just surpassed both Ultimates performances though, in a single product.
Brian, I call it a draw, both are awesome over the counter products, can't go wrong with either one in my opinion, I say it again, turtle wax has stepped it's game way up in my opinion,and I am a die hard meguiar's man, another amazing video my friend,Thanks!!
keep the gloss meter review as one of permanent judge for each of your video.. awesome vids. super thanks. glad i have ultimate compound.. - cheers from indonesia
Rare to see great and honest reviews like this. Good to see another great new product from Turtle Wax. Hopefully they have bin the old stuff in the tins and hard shell wax and give Bowdens a Run in the retail side of things.
Thanks Brian I've just gone out and purchased Meguiar's I'm a pretty big fan of turtle Wax here in the UK it is so prevalent it's unbelievable but Meguiar's products are coming over surely but surely but on today's test Meguiar's pips it to the post thanks bud keep it simple keep it keep it true
Brian, I'd say the scratch test gives victory to Turtle Wax. I am like you on the pick one and go with it. My personal favorite is between 3D One and P&S Playmaker. I have used Meguiar's Ultimate series a lot along with Turtle Wax products in don't really know much days and had tremendous results for a know very little person. I found out the hard way about using TW paste compound on clear coat(don't do that folks) on black paint. I put a lot of value in using product by hand too, so when I get in to pita spot for a polisher. I know I can get a great finish by hand.
If you were as good as you claim you would have to agree the turtle wax was on the hood way longer than the meguiars wax. It's easier to rub off the slightly wetter surface than the drier surface.
I requested this just days ago.. Brian, my friend, you are an animal! Thank you so much! Chromecast is rollin'! 👍👌✌ Have you noticed if it truly doesn't stain trim as advertised? If it is indeed trim safe it would make it an incredibly useful compound in many situations.
@@yeungkawo I have actually used ICE compound quite a bit now. It definitely does not stain trim whatsoever. *Very* similar in cut to Ultimate. I really like it for a one step on boats and RVs, big outdoor jobs. Just polish the whole vehicle, leaving all the residue, give it a quick strip wash afterwards, and it's protection ready. Quick and easy and saves a lot of wiping time. But their new Hybrid Solutions 1 & Done is a giant step ahead of both. Fantastic professional grade compound, I use it almost daily. But I haven't seen it for sale at local retail unfortunately.
Great video!! In Taiwan, TW is only 50% price of M. So I purchased TW for this reason. The TW is ultra fluidity and ez to wash away by strong water. But buff off one hook by hand that nearly broken my arm.
brian --- and the commentariat here -- you often reach for the eurofibre 50/50 pad. it appears to be a real " go to" for you. what would be the equivalent "go to" or old reliable pad for the rotary, please? thanks, and also thanks for all your hard work in making these vids.
Thanks again for all you do making your videos! Great products & they’re close in price point as well! I’m a Meguiar’s products guy so I’d reach for Meguiar’s but Turtle Wax is a great alternative!
Compitition breads innovation. To be fair this is all anyone should need to compound their daily driver. Those heavy cut compounds may leave a mirror finish but you're taking off all of clear for a deadly driver.
I also tell people and believe the same. Unless you are a professional detailer, ultimate compound is all you need for the highest level of cut for a hobbyist/weekend detailer. But M205 or Hyper Polish products are great for both Professional or Hobbyist. Anything more than Ultimate Compound can handle, I recommend taking your car to a professional detailer
Thanks for this informative video Brian! Based on the comparison, I couldn't see any difference between them. How would these two products compare to the Turtle Was 1 and Done?
I am learning a lot from you. Still not confident enough to try a powered polisher (yet) but maybe soon! Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. (I've been using the Meguiars and like it.)
Man give it a go. I picked up one and it turned out awsome. I did some paint correction light wet sanding on the spots. Took my time. About 5 hours. I used a orange pad and a black finish pad. Used tw and am seriously happy with results. Topped with ice. Caddy never looked as well. And for my first time. Wow
@@barrybij8079 Yeah, that's probably a smart way to start. Learn on something I don't care if I totally trash. Was actually thinking of starting on my 16 year old John Deere lawn tractor--can't mess up that thing! :)
@@howard6798 ...I never thought of that... Ok, my weekend has been booked..Tractor getting detailed Saturday morning. My neighbors already think I'm nuts...HA
When I first watched the video I didn’t see when it was posted. So I looked on Amazon, found the spore compound on there but noticed it won’t ship out till sometime in November. I contacted TW and they informed me that they aren’t offering at this time. They then suggested I use the Hybrid Solutions 1 & Done Compound. With this tidbit of information, would you do a comparison of the meguiars ultimate compound with the TW 1 & Done?
I use ultimate compound to buff off headlight oxidation Does the turtle wax have a protection to it? I’m asking cause people mention it is a one step product.
Hey nice stuff , just one question after using the compound polish .. do i need to use an additional shiner or polish or i can head to the coating right after using either of the compund polishes?
I seen some complain that with ultimate they can wipe a panel down and scratches reappear so it’s actually like a glaze. Others say it doesn’t last and goes back to what it was like before in days. Either one of these claims true?
Brian I like what I see in these videos! Both products seem to do very well! I'm just at Average Joe trying to take care of his everyday car! Applying these products by hand will never give me the results that I'm seeing you get with your power machine. Is there a power machine that you would recommend for a novice that will do a nice job and not break the bank. Also recommend the right pad for use with these compounds. I've always had the fear of using a power machine because I don't want to burn through my clear coat. But I've seen you work and I have an idea of about the proper speed and the proper size panel to work on at a time. Because these products are not too aggressive I believe I could get fantastic results on my car.
really good question, I think exactly the same what pads are easily available world wide ie Amazon that are good value and still do a decent job? great channel thanks for the hard work Brian from the UK
Another epic video B. I have both. I favour the Megs ever so slightly for the ease of removal. But hard to split. Waiting for the flat cap to come back. I’m in the US and hat weather.
Hi, thanks for the comparison I as you think both of them are great but I have a question. What's the diferrence between the meguiars compound with their M100 or M101?
The soupiness of the TW is a no go for me. I'm a klutz and I just know it would end up everywhere. I've used the Megs UC before and it got pretty much the same results. Gotta find a compound in the next tier.
Great video you are the first I have seen to compare compounds. I would be interested to see how Griots compares. Also I would be interested to see a comparison of all in ones like collinite 325 and HDspeed?
On my iPhone it seems the TW won. I just used a whole bottle of the MUC on a horrific hood and wish it had more aggressive cut. Still needs to be done again.
Great vid as always.as a beginner,do you think i need a 3" back plate and matching pads? I know it depends on vehicle and lines.ive already spent eough....ugggh.
I can get from Meguiar's ultimate compound the same result as you got from Sonax CutMax with Meguiar's microfiber pad with the the same number of passes.
@@josephvance8900 I think this was meant to be sarcastic, but I just tried this with both products and it's true. Can still def recommend the Cutmax since you can use it with less expensive foam pads and get the same results
Is 🐢wax Ice Compound just launching again in US? I stumbled across some in Oz that was on clearance so good for me but not going to be stocked moving forward. I can't work these guys out with what they are trying to do.
Hi I recently bought euro fiber 50 50 pad I dont have a polisher i am gonna use megs ultimate compound by hand then wax should i polish with ultimate polish as well ???
Hey Brian. Hope all is well with you sir during this continuing COVID mess. I have a quick question regarding the Turtle Wax ICE Speed Compound. I wanted to get a bottle and use it on my Nissan Pathfinder which needs a little help. In regards to this, I saw on Turtle Waxes own video of this product that the residue can be WASHED away? Is this true or have you had any experience with using it that way? I know you show it being wiped away here and i'm sure that how most people use it but I was intrigued seeing that Turtle Wax engineers say that it's a watery enough consistency that the spent residue can be washed away with a strong stream of water. They use the "cracks and crevices" as an example and say it's easy to just flood the residue with water and it washes off. I was wondering if you could do that with the entire vehicle too. Compound the entire vehicle in my garage and then simply "wash away" the residue when i'm done compounding the entire vehicle. Especially on a Nissan Pathfinder which as you know is pretty good sized SUV. That would make it a whole hell of a lot easier for me. I'm not looking for perfection here either. Not in the slightest. I'm just looking to bring out some gloss on the vehicle (it's a daily driver) and then protect it with Turtle Wax Ice Seal and Shine. What are your thoughts? Thanks again for everything you do and for bringing all this information to the masses out here in the world. THANK YOU, you are very much appreciated sir.
Hi Brian.Could you please put seal and shine against a entry level ceramic coating. Technicians choice has one for $39 on Amazon looks pretty decent. And P&S jade one for about 100$ .I’m sure other people and myself would love to see this video thank you
Hihi little fans from Hong Kong:) may I know if I choose to use turtle wax speed compound, what you suggest for the polish on the next step? I seems couldn’t find polish from turtle wax, or turtle wax speed compound can take care on both compound and polish step in one product? Thank you so much for answer, have a nice day:)
...can you do a tech vid on MAT vs SMAT Compounds? I knoooww all the big guns have their vids and graphs.real world with no mnfctr bias would be great.
@@apexdetail85 that's cool. I was just wondering. I guess what I meant was maybe 2 of the same exact type of pad just to avoid any possible mixing of products.
Awesome video Brian! I have the ultimate compound and polish. Do you follow up with the polish in all cases or lay protection over the compound after a wipe down?
Interested to know which YOU prefer?
Apex Detail d300. I’d love to see the difference between foam and MF pads for that particular pad
Turtle Wax does the work of both Megs Ultimate polishes....so TW.
Having used both, I prefer the Meg's for 2 reasons.
1) I like the thicker consistency of the Meg's. It is easier and faster to apply to the pad.
2) Meg's has a better cap on the bottle.
Real close either would work great, but if I have to pick I’d say megs for easier wipe off.
What about griots complete compound/polish? Interested in your opinion
On my black show car nothing has ever worked better than Ultimate compound. I only use this product and Mequires #7 for the show car finish. Perfect every time. No wax ever.
MUC is unreal for oxidation. Did a 80s car , the paint looked like sea glass and it brought that shine back like a mirror!
Try mothers 3 in one polish it's even better
M products used to be a step above. That can no longer be said. TW has really stepped up there game with all the ICE products.
Still not sure how you keep making these videos and have a somewhat normal life but I'm glad you do.
I am a night person! 🙂🤘
@@apexdetail85 I work midnights.. I can appreciate that lol
He probably loves what he dose for a living. And you know what they say when you love what you do for a living you don’t work a day in your life.

I like the fact that this test was done outdoors seems to fit those who are mobile or just like working outside or have to work outside.
I purchased the Ultimate Compound, Polish, Wax system.
The comments about Turtle Wax Ice Compound seems to be consistent. It is the same Achilles heel of all Turtle Wax products.... they have to work on the ease of removal compared to other Brands.
I have started to use TW products and am very impressed how. The new products are starting to outshine the maguiars products.
Turtle Wax has swayed my opinion...once again. Thanks for the video.
Meguiars is my trusted tried and true detailing company. While I use a lot of Pinnacle and Wolfgang products, all of my compounds and polishes are Megs. Great results from both products in this video, nice video.
Wow, both products did a remarkable job!
You are on the ball good sir! I wanted to see this comparison! Thanks for listening!

I'm just looking to bring out some gloss on the vehicle (it's a daily driver) and then protect it with Turtle Wax Ice Seal and Shine. What are your thoughts? Thanks again for everything you do and for bringing all this information to the masses out here in the world. THANK YOU, you are very much appreciated sir.
How many pads do you go through when doing an entire vehicle?
I’m still using my car pro with my mark 3 rupes. I’m spend the extra buck for my compound
Hi Brian.Could you please put seal and shine against a entry level ceramic coating. Technicians choice has one for $39 on Amazon looks pretty decent. And P&S jade one for about 100$ .I’m sure other people and myself would love to see this video thank you
I was waiting for this one
great video
I couldn't tell in the video did they remove all swirls or hologram?
What are the polishing devices you used?
Hihi little fans from Hong Kong:) may I know if I choose to use turtle wax speed compound, what you suggest for the polish on the next step? I seems couldn’t find polish from turtle wax, or turtle wax speed compound can take care on both compound and polish step in one product? Thank you so much for answer, have a nice day:)
Which product lasts longer?
...can you do a tech vid on MAT vs SMAT Compounds? I knoooww all the big guns have their vids and graphs.real world with no mnfctr bias would be great.
I put it on the list.
What do you need to use after the compound?
I love your videos but I have to ask why not use 2 different pads
I wanted the exact same pad for both products....in testing that is the constant....or control
@@apexdetail85 that's cool. I was just wondering. I guess what I meant was maybe 2 of the same exact type of pad just to avoid any possible mixing of products.
Great video B!
what compound will work on that 800 grit ?
Did you know 3M bought Meguiars?
Please anyone to tell me if after using these products is it necessary to do a ipa wipe down to put on a sealant and wax?
Another GREAT video! Do either one have fillers that would prevent just waxing or sealing right after without a chemical wipe?
Thanks!
No fillers.
@@apexdetail85 thanks! I have heard the ultimate polish has fillers, so good to know these are okay. They both seem good for the money!
this was a great test.
Awesome video Brian! I have the ultimate compound and polish. Do you follow up with the polish in all cases or lay protection over the compound after a wipe down?
gambietti I’ve used ultimate compound as a one step before, it finishes nicely.
@@n3ro209 thank you
GREAT REVIEW!
