The ultimate polish is a GLAZE and will mask any swirls left and not remove them. IMO the best test result is right after the compound and after an IPA wioe down.

I've had ultimate compound in the arsenal for a while. Sometimes it works better than HD speed and sometimes speed works. It also depends on customers expectations and what they pay for. I've had ultimate compound work when others wouldn't and sometimes it doesn't work. That's when trying different compounds and pads in a troubleshooting scenario is beneficial. But for a novice this is more realistic. They would more than likely not have a good polisher, not be experienced enough to use a rotery, and probably only be using a foam cutting pad. Good job. Keep bringing good content.
This brings back memories of Meguiar's performing corrections with UC, yellow foam polishing pads, and the G110v2. There are a lot of internet detailers getting triggered by a readily available compound performing up to, and sometimes over the fashionable crap they paid too much money for. Nice job, Jimbo. I've had that stuff remove 1000 grit using a green hex logic on a pc. In my situation, it was utilizing the non diminishing abrasives like a sanding disc. The green pad though softer, is more aggressive than the orange. I find the stiffness of the uro tech pads works against cutting ability because they give up too much surface area, and resist conforming to surface irregularities. One of the reasons the Meguiar's Microfiber cutting disc is so successful is from it's ability to conform to surface irregularities, where the stiffer pads make you fight the process. Ultimate Polish has been killing it lately for me as a one step with those green pads, and finishing with the blue. Old school stuff works. Just because it isn't fashionable doesn't mean anything. Just because something is fashionable doesn't mean it's better. The 80/20 rule.
if you want to remove scratches with four steps: clean, sanding, polishing, waxing. What sanding and polishing product you should use to get best result fastest?
You should really try out CarBrites Select series compound and polishes. It’s super slept on in the detailing work, doesn’t dust at all, water based and both can remove 1500 grit sanding marks. The polish and compound both are diminishing abrasive types and even the compound can finish out to a near coatable surface with the right foam pad.
One thing I noticed you did differently to most is you didn't spread the compound on a slow speed before cranking it up. Being a diminishing compound, this could explain why the centre of the panel came up better than the front and back.
Yo! The mark up on this is crazy and it’s almost sold out! The mark up is crazy high rn because of the crazy demand. eBay is selling it for 32 bucks and Amazon is for 25-30 bucks. Thank god I bought mines when it was just 10 dollars
best to have 1500,2000 marks compounded with a a few passes with a good rotary and wool pad...then use DA and good meg polish a a couple of times than wax... if you want less compounding start with 3000 sand marks... not rocket science just use all your steps on a test spot first so you do not remove anymore clear coat than is necessary... it protects car... once you get your car as good as you want keep it under cover as much as possible to protect from the sun damage...black especially...
I really don’t by the hole consumer versus professional grade . I can go to most parts store and purchase m 105 which is supposed to be a professional product. But I’m not a pro but i can still buy it and have the same results as you would have. And personally I think that Ultimate compound is better than 105. It has a longer working time and doesn’t dust as much not even close and wipes off easier
Both the ULTIMATE and 105 cover-up the real situation. Soak the area with Megs APC 1:3 for 3mins, agitate with mitt, rinse, blow dry…and you will immediately see that BOTH have great “cover-up” abilities. But thats unavoidable because most Americans are obsessed with low-dusting and long workability. Hence, more oils need to be incorporated to “hold” the abrasives together while providing prolonged lubrication for longer work times. And those oils are unintentionally covering up the marring.
Micro fiber would've knocked it out! A product doesnt have to be expensive to be good. You can get any job done with a cheap da and cheap product it's just on your skill. Im not knocking you cause you do good videos but I'm just giving my opinion. Been doing this for years and still use my trusty rotary over my da's. I only use da's on new vehicles.
You will get a far better distribution of your compound if you apply it to your da and then press it on the surface, lift of, press on, lift of (6 to 9 times) over the whole surface you want to polish. Instead of appling a big circle in the middle and wiping it all over the place. You have to much compound in the middle and not enough on the sides. You will have much better results if you apply it evenly on different spots.
My 2016 truck was repainted three years ago and the paint is in great shape with no swirls but just a couple of moderate scratches and no dents (knock wood). If I use compound to buff out those scratches, do I need to compound the entire vehicle before polishing and waxing? My challenge is the small time windows provided by Colorado's hot summer weather (with unforecasted light rain bursts in the afternoon), and the fact that my truck doesn't fit in my garage. Would greatly appreciate your advice!
I think it was a very worthy experiment. Not sure about your analysis, but... haha. No, it seems to me that what you showed, was that: Maroon Buff n Shine pad + Maguiars UC = approx 1700 grit. Doesn't sound right, but it cleaned up the 1500 nicely and made the 2000 worse. Maybe the shine difference between sanding and polishing at the same grit is the polish leaves it wetter looking. Idk, just thinkin
@@weliftnation2418 P1500 is the equivalent of 750 and 1500 is the equivalent of P3000 so its a pretty big difference especially if you use 1000grit then progress to P1500 you could be putting 750grit scratches back into your finish. Standard paper is like half of what a P-grade sandpaper is roughly speaking on anything above like 400 or 600grit I believe is where it changes.
What is Wash maring...and the difference between that and swirl marks from washing...and another thought..why would u ever need to use a wash mitt..espscially on your hood? And especialy if u wash atleast 1 time evey 2weeks with waxing??
I just washed with a pH 10 soap, wiped it down w/ paint prep, clayed it, now I'm about to use ultimate compound with a chem guys orange pad on my DA. Should I use the ultimate polish after that step with a black pad? I guess in other words can I use these two products to do a two-step? Or is it not necessary
I made this mistake today, tried to wet sand a scratch on my new truck with 1500 grit, used the meguires compound to try to buff it out and it’s not coming all the way out. What would you recommend that I do to fix where I sanded?
Ordered them...had pre-order that shipped Monday. Now ship date will be later I'm sure. Ordered day everyone did the sema videos. The dealers should all have it for order now.

@@autodetailingpodcast received it yesterday. I pre-ordered and my order was in the first wave after receiving the order they got from meguiars I guess
Enjoying the further testing of cheap product vids, I think it's interesting that a cheap consumer compound can get good results. I know it was no where near perfect but not bad for the price.
2:38 That is the same sound I hear at the dentists office when they are drilling a cavity. Can you take a depth gauge to the center section versus the sides of that panel. As much as you have worked it over in past videos, I am curious if it has lost a significant amount of microns?
Can I do this when my clear cote is faded due sun? Dealarship repainted my hood on mercedes and few years later isn't faded mat black , any dirt I try to whipped off leaving marks . Now a cat scratched my whole hood and roof .. any suggestion how to fix besides repainting? Thank you!
Depending on the scratches, I'd probably wet-sand them down with 3000 grit, then follow up with 5000 grit. Then compound, and then polish. You'll want to sand approximately an inch to each side, with each sanding step, to feather out your work. If scratches are through the clear coat, it's a whole different ballgame.
I am sure that using a microfiber cutting pad with Ultimate Compound would make a huge difference. In my experience, the difference in cut from foam to microfiber is like night and day. The porter cable is a very weak polisher, so if you are gonna use a consumer grade compound with it, it will need all the help it can get. In terms of cut, UC is more like a one step polish than a true cutting compound. I don't know if it can remove 1500 scratches with a porter cable but I am sure you would get a much better result with microfiber. Especially good ones like the ones from Meguiars.
Calendyr the PC is definitely one of the weaker 8mm throw machines, even the harbor freight DA has more torque, but the griots is the best 8mm throw DA in my opinion. I agree on the pads, I don’t even bother with foam cutting pads, I just go microfiber at that point, I still use foam polishing and foam finishing pads though.
@@STILLNIGHTPEARL GG has a good 8mm machine, and the warranty on it can't be beat. In terms of use, I would argue that the Torx is a better short throw machine, feels like a Rupes when you use it in terms of smoothness of operation and hand grip.
Breaking? Your using a 4-6 cut product on 1500 grit. Breaking would be using m105 (it takes out 1500 btw) break it on what an average consumer would do.
Do Not use red or yellow foam pad, Use a Cutting pad, cutting pads have like little diamond shapes with grove, he is using the wrong pads, Ask me how I know

Thank you for your response sir I'm going to continue watching your videos hoping that you do a video on the Meguiars on the dashboard of the newer cars I have a 2015 Ford Escape and I need to keep dashboard shining like the brand new but I appreciate the video thank you very much for your response back thank you
I honestly think the dual action was invented just to make a new source of revenue for the detailing world, the things garbage and takes forever, time is money. 95% of vehicles I color sand or polish can be done with a 1 step using rupes medium pad and 3d-one
You are not doing a true comparison....you are going over what you have already done. So you don't know if you would have went a longer time with the Mequiars would have given better results. You need 3 or 4 sections to compare. This is now right what you are doing.
You can definitely level 1500-2000 grit sanding marks with ultimate compound, it’s not my first choice, but it can be done. It levels 1500-2000 grit when paired with a twisted wool cutting pad and a rotary polisher or using a 15mm or 21 mm throw machine paired with a wool or microfiber cutting pad, also with a forced rotation machine. It’s not going to do much when paired with an 8mm throw DA like in this video. You’ll have a hard time leveling 1500 grit using an 8mm throw DA with any compound, that machine isn’t designed for leveling 1500 grit sanding marks, you’re wasting time. Check out this video, proof that ultimate compound can level 1500-2000 grit sanding marks. th-cam.com/video/7tAX9rtoNpE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=4DtglHSHj-o60mSD
Sand paper on paint? Not good. Most modern paint/clear coat finishes, you hopefully will never touch paint. Clear coat scratches only. Try compound, polish, wax. Sand paper will always have that ugly haze which will show up again as wax/sealeant wears off. Unless extreme scratches/swirling skip sand paper. My experience.
Hahaha... Stupid comparison 😄. If you did ultimate compound second time on the same panel, you would have gotten the same results as with that other one. You don't compare products by polishing over already polished section. Rediculous
God this guy is confused,... he talks a lot and doesn't really say anything. Good example of trying to teach something that is not clear to you to begin with.
I seriously wonder how you’ve got to where you are. Most of your videos are flawed. You’re using a a first generation porter cable and a foam pad to remove sanding marks? Are you kidding me? At least use a MF cutting pad with the poor little porter cable. This test is irrelevant.
He is using the Porter Cable to show if a cheap machine can generate good results, then when you have a quality machine you can get even better results. He understands the Porter Cable scenario, but its been explained in numerous videos why he uses it in his demonstrations.
RenzoSpeed3 His words, “can we push this compound to the limit”. He sure as hell didn’t do that with a PC and a MEDIUM cut FOAM pad. This video is not accurate. Period.
@@qwikss7522 He is trying to make it an all around non ideal situation. Once again, you do not understand the point behind the methods, but to each their own.
Auto Detailing Podcast keep up the good work. Enjoy the videos. Cheap vs expensive is a great concept, I’m from the uk though so your cheap is sometimes my expensive!
this helped me get a feel for the 1500 grit without having 1500. thanks

Apex detail does something similar. From 2000 to 800 grit testing. He's tested many products
Just bought and used. This stuff is awesome
You should start a new series for compounds and name it "How low can you go!" 😉🤔
If you use a Surbuff or microfiber cutting pad, you can cut 1500 grit with Ultimate Compound on a DA.
yes...and the better the DA the faster the job will go...but no da is faster than a good rotary with a wool pad in removing scratches imo....
*So* much of it depends on the paint hardness. All these testing videos should include *both* hard and soft panels for each area of testing.
This brings back memories of Meguiar's performing corrections with UC, yellow foam polishing pads, and the G110v2.

Check out this video, proof that ultimate compound can level 1500-2000 grit sanding marks. th-cam.com/video/7tAX9rtoNpE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=4DtglHSHj-o60mSD
Has anyone tried Turtle Wax Ice Speed Compound? How does it compare to Meguiar's Ultimate Compound?
I haven’t tried it
That seems like a lot to ask of a very mild compound don't cha think, at least to me it seems like it is
It’s a great “mild” compound in my book. I love it
LMFAO
It will do even worse with 3000 grid
Mosquitos
Meguiars M105 works way better
Sand paper on paint? Not good. Most modern paint/clear coat finishes, you hopefully will never touch paint. Clear coat scratches only. Try compound, polish, wax. Sand paper will always have that ugly haze which will show up again as wax/sealeant wears off. Unless extreme scratches/swirling skip sand paper. My experience.
I usually don’t have an issue with sanding if I make sure to remove all the sanding scratches while buffing
Unscipable adds are unscipable
Hahaha... Stupid comparison 😄. If you did ultimate compound second time on the same panel, you would have gotten the same results as with that other one. You don't compare products by polishing over already polished section. Rediculous
Bmw door?
God this guy is confused,... he talks a lot and doesn't really say anything. Good example of trying to teach something that is not clear to you to begin with.
I seriously wonder how you’ve got to where you are. Most of your videos are flawed. You’re using a a first generation porter cable and a foam pad to remove sanding marks? Are you kidding me? At least use a MF cutting pad with the poor little porter cable. This test is irrelevant.
He is using the Porter Cable to show if a cheap machine can generate good results, then when you have a quality machine you can get even better results. He understands the Porter Cable scenario, but its been explained in numerous videos why he uses it in his demonstrations.
QwikSS fr lmao. He’s explained this exact scenario a number of times. Watch more of his videos and pay attention
RenzoSpeed3 His words, “can we push this compound to the limit”. He sure as hell didn’t do that with a PC and a MEDIUM cut FOAM pad. This video is not accurate. Period.
@@qwikss7522 He is trying to make it an all around non ideal situation. Once again, you do not understand the point behind the methods, but to each their own.
I’m not sure how I got here either. But here I am.
1st off Wrong pads, those Are Not Cutting pads, Cutting pads have little diamond shapes People, look it up, Would Not let this guy touch my car, 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Do you have a detail shop or channel to link and show how it's done?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@cougtime Look up Chemical guys cutting pads on Amazon, or TH-cam Chemical Guys
It is the firmness of the pad, not designs
Good video, would have been good to follow up with ultimate polish to see the results of the full system rather than the D166
agreed. I hadnt planned on adding a polish until I started the video and d166 was all I had on hand.
Auto Detailing Podcast keep up the good work. Enjoy the videos. Cheap vs expensive is a great concept, I’m from the uk though so your cheap is sometimes my expensive!
