    Re: Ultimate Polish

    OK, New member and 1st post here. As strictly a hobbyist, with a new PC DA polisher, I'm assembling my "arsenal" of tools and have a couple of questions about Ultimate Compound. Unable to find it mentioned specifically as a 2010 or 2011 product I would like to know what pad would be appropriate for it. Brochure says UC is DA safe, but the SoftBuf cutting pad specifies Rotary use only. Is the SoftBuf 2.0 yellow polishing pad appropriate for use with this product? And if so would I use the same pad to follow with MG #3, already purchased, or move to the black finishing pad? Hope I'm not too far off the mark here. Thank you for this wonderful forum!

      Yup, that would be the recommended pad.

      That will probably depend on the paint and the issues you're trying to solve. What is MG #3 though?

        Sorry mate. That's Mirror Glaze #3 Professional Machine Glaze. Think I've already answered my own question, black finishing pad for finishing polish/glaze, IF results with the UC are satisfactory?

          Glenn, if you look through the posts in the Pictures from Saturday Classes section of the forum you'll see a wide variety of vehicles that we corrected using the G110v2, Ultimate Compound and the W8207 Soft Buff 2.0 foam polishing pad. That's our go-to combo for the classes, and it really hasn't let us down yet!

              Michael,

              Can UP be followed up with non-meguiars LSP's without bonding issues?

              Also, since it noticeably darkens the paint, would that not be so good for metallics?

                    Not sure if this has been asked but which pad would I use with this, yellow or black or both depending on the need?

                        Black would likely be the most common use with this product, but I'm sure a polishing pad would do well too.

                          Re: Ultimate Polish

                          Ok...

                          I used Ultimate Polish on the trunk and rear bumper of a black car before I applied Ultimate Wax.

                          I applied polish by hand. It goes on better than any polish/glaze I have used previously. Like the wax, it is rather runny.

                          It's fun to put it on, and I would describe it a bit like a liquid butter too.

                          The removal, if fully dried, is just slightly difficult. THerefore, just get it wiped up before it dries, and its removal will then be similar to other pure polishes like #7, but somewhat easier.

                          Overall, a fine polish. A polish that is fun to use and seems less messy.

                          The oils obviously darkened the finish and looked very nice after using it.

                          I would say this is a modern #7. A bit easier to use.

The silver one demands nothing and it looks just fine. I think the black vehicle is taking advantage of me, and the silver car is more my style. We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

                              cool!

                              how do you think application with a DA would be? I am looking to get this product and use my DA on my blue PT...

                                Thanks for the review! We're not supposed to let any polish dry anyways right?

                                How about the ultimate wax? Can't wait! Please compare it to NXT 2.0 as well. THANKS!
