Tools I'm using: HF DA Polisher(PC rip off), HF Pads, Ultimate Compound, Ultimate Wax
I have a 2016 RAM 1500 with black metallic paint. A few months ago I had some scratches created from dragging a hose from the powersprayer on the side of the bed. This was all my fault and they looked terrible. I tried to fix them by hand with a microfiber towel and Ultimate Compound. It removed some of it but not all of it. After this I used a clay bar kit and used my DA with a Orange compounding pad with Ultimate Compound. It seemed to remove almost the entire scratch from the clear coat. I followed up with doing a coat of Ultimate Wax on the entire truck. It looked great. The next time I washed the truck I noticed the scratches re-surfaced. I did the same process again and it looked great.
I have a 2016 Mazda Miata that some "porter" really screwed the pooch on the paint. Had a ton of halograms and swirls in the paint. I used ultimate compound on the entire car and followed up with a Polish/Wax from EagleOne(I know not Meguairs). I noticed that after getting rained on for a solid day the swirls started to surface again.
My question here is: Does Ultimate Compount have a ton of fillers that just cover up the problem or does it actually correct the paint? Does washing the car make the work that I did with Ultimate Compound go away?
