Damaged car paintwork
I used this product after researching on the web and saw lots of infomercials. It claims to restore oxidised paint but it totally destroyed mine to the point of now requiring a respray.
The company rep tried to rectify the damage only to make it worse.
They accept no responsibility and I would not recommend their products. Kmart products are better and cheaper.
Purchased in for $29.99.

Does what it say's on the bottle.
Surprisingly good results. My grey Hilux has all manner of scratch, paint damage & scuff marks on the bonnet. Used this product once & vastly improved the visual appearance of the surface. All the marks etc are still there, that are just less visible & at a glance the surface doesn't look like it needs repainting, where as before, it did.

Meguiars Ultimate Compound
I have a 10 year peugeot 308cc in very good condition but with minor scratches and swirl marks as you would expect from a car this age.
I bought this product to remove these minor imperfections.
Too my dismay it only enhanced these scratcheds and swirls and brought out more scrathers i did not see before.
It did give the car a lovely shine, as would any wax, but it now looks awful after using Meguiars.
I wouldnt recommend this product to remove minor scratcers and swirls.
Purchased in at eBay for $15.

Wrecked my Lexus bonnet
Was recommended this product after the bonnet of my wifes Lexus started to look a bit splotchy and felt a bit rough. I described as best i could to the sales guy who said this was the best product on the market. i followed instructions, picked a small patch to start, and immediately felt the product was too abrasive. When I polished off the same area my bonnet had an awful grey patch with swirls!, it seemed to completely knock of the shine it had. I have since used two more products (one carbura wax and the other diamond wax) to try and fix th...
Read moreings up, but its only partially better. I know Lexus auto paint is soft, it scratches very easily, but the bottle said it was safe on clear coats, and it appears this paint has done irreparable damage to the final coat. So this is a warning to anyone trying this product, certainly if you use it try it on a very small area first.

Great product
This is the best polishing product I have come across so far. I have used two other final polishing compounds from turtle and when compared difference is obvious. Meguiar's does not need additional cutting compound and it does all the work. I found newly painted clearcoat is easier to cut and polish in seconds. However the old clearcoat on my BMW took 2 to three minutes.

Best all in one product available
Ultimate compound is not a highly aggressive polish but is sufficient to bring neglected paint work back to a shine. For very hard clear coats sometimes found on european vehicles, it might not be aggressive enough for removing some scratches. It is a fantastic all in one polish negating the need in many cases for using a cutting compound and then a finishing polish. It's pretty hard to do any damage with this product which makes it good for those without a lot of paint correcting experience.

Good for scratches
Good for scratches, doesn't fully remove etchings from bird poo esp if deeper. Note: this product is to help take off some of the top clear coat to remove* the imperfections. It's not a filler. Have to put a good effort into deeper scratches to remove the top coat down
It works well for scratches better than scratch x? (As it's more abrasive)
Doesn't fill, takes 2-3 passes to remove scratches
