The first time surprise! Meguiars Ultimate Compound!

[greenfrost]

So I bought an old 94 Ford Ranger for gas mileage driving to and from work. When I bought the truck it was a faded red/orange, almost pink! I had no experience until this using a buffer or any kind of rubbing compound. I had only waxed my vehicles by hand. I ignorantly read articles on how to use a buffer the correct way while online and then went out and grabbed an $18 buffer from walmart. While there I grabbed the Ultimate Compound. Here are some before and after shots. When I realized how incredible this stuff was working I started setting the bottle of Ultimate Compound in the pics lol. Now I have a decent looking truck to drive back and forth to work and get good gas mileage. Not a faded looking turd. Well, it's still a turd.. but it sure is shiny!


***SEE MY NEW POST A FEW REPLIES DOWN FOR UPDATED PICTURES!

Thanks!

Hey greenfrost!

First of all, welcome to MOL! It looks like you had some fantastic results working with Ultimate Compound.

I changed your links into embedded pictures (new users need to reach 30 posts before they can post a hyperlink), but the images are far too large.

Is there any chance you could re-host some images with 700 pixels or less width? If you could do that and re-post that would be much appreciated, and then I will edit out the original images.

Thanks!

Mark

**update** new SMALLER pics lol. The others took up the entire page. Sorry!

Hopefully these are better.. if not, someone let me know and I'll go smaller with the pics

good job! I hope you finished with a good wax. Where in Missouri are you from?

Truck looks much better!

Definitely get a coat of wax on there to protect all your hard work. If you have not already.

Wax pretty much sealed the deal. It has stayed looking wet so far. When I get bored I wax it over again. I'm up in St. Joseph!

I did a old Chevy pickup blue in color that was very faded. I buffed it with a wool pad and UC. I followed with Color X by hand and then NXT 2 by hand. It came out like a mirror. This was almost 3 months ago and it still shines very nice.

You just made your truck look like the Mercedes on the UC bottle. Turned out nice.
