As someone without a polishing machine I’m glad someone has finally covered hand polishing
bought an orbital for 105€
N. De Rosa what was the name of it
N. De Rosa walmart has a car buffer for $20 also harbor freight has one for same price
KN H I’m in the UK and have now purchased a DA polisher but thanks
Yeah same
Good God thank you 10 years and finally someone just explains it in basic terms
Damn...This video brings me back to the old days of KZhead tutorials. Excellent narration/explanation to go with excellent showing of how-to! No super fancy video-editing and unnecessary showing of the face. Just straight to the point and task at hand. Top top video!
*Good **MyBest.Tools** power and rpm control.*
I am watching your channel for some time now and can truly say, that your way of explaining and demonstrating car detailing is in evidence of your fantastic skill and professionalism. Also, I have to admit that my cleaning and polishing products have now been converted from Autoglym to Meguire's. Keep up the great work.
First class video... Well narrated, clear and easy listened too.. Straight to the point and no gimmicks.. Earned yourself another subscriber!
bam!!! perfectly said!
I had thought Meguiars had created this professional demo/comparison video. Excellent and easy to follow for the expert or novice. A+
You are right about making sure you work this stuff in long enough. I've used this a lot and the biggest mistake I've made when I first used it was not buffing long enough. I found it work best using a DA and going until the compound almost turns clear and is barely visible. Also....I found that it was critical to make sure when you wipe it off, you switch micro fiber clothes fairly often. Using the same one will end up just smearing it around if the cloth is coated with the stuff. I went through a dozen or so doing a complete truck. Thanks for vid!
Just did "water spot removal" on my Jeep JK with Meguiars Ultimate Compound. I was able to remove OLD water spots BY HAND, (don't have one of those electric thing-ama-jigs")! This compound worked perfectly and left the paint looking shiny and new! I have watched a few KZhead videos comparing different chemical solutions for removing water spots, but none of them included this stuff! It works by hand, well enough, but I suggest getting an electric polisher.
Great stuff as always Sandro!! Very down to earth and easy to follow. You really do give us enthusiasts a ton of your professional knowledge and experience. Thank you mate!!
_Just bought these for this Sunday. Chris Fix used them._
I saw it too I wanna try them lol
Omar Parreno I tried them this evening. Worked pretty good. I need to use a machine buffer because doing it manually sucks lol.
TraumaER lol
@@TraumaER Yeah I used some Maguiar's Gold Class Carnuba for a waxing today and my arms nearly fell off but DAMN it looks good.
@@fredharvey2720 Haha. Yeah it does.
Good Aussie narration. No hype no BS no selling. Just fact and detail. Best video I’ve seen on you tube for polishing a car. Well done and thanks mate.
Thanks Sandro for reviewing and showing the results for over the counter products that most of us weekend warriors use. Thanks again.
Been looking into this compound and your info and review here on KZhead is the best ! Thanks for posting.
Thank you for this video!! My hubby and I are restoring/remodeling my 91 GMC road rally camper van
Thank you thank you thank you for the detail in this video. My favorite part was when you explained that it is based off an original compound, and made to be more user friendly and forgiving. Hearing this makes it feel safer to use, and that's really important when you're talking about the difference between damaging and not damaging your paint. Obviously most of us aren't professionals, but know that just like painting your walls, it can be done by yourself with the right tools. Anyways thanks again great video 👍
Wow amazing results by hand! I dont have a machine to apply this so seeing a tutorial how to use this by hand is so helpful to me, thank you!
Best review I've seen on compounding and polishing - now I know how as well as why. Thanks.
Fantastic video as usual! Really appreciate you going back to the basics.
I love the zoom in comparison with the flashlight, it really showed the difference between the sections. I was skeptical of hand polishing, but I guess I just need to work it in a little longer. Thanks for the information!
Thank you! Ive watched numerous polishing videos and this somehow hit on the right spot. Hand polishing is only option. I saw this product in local supermarket so its all nearby and possible. Thank you for motivating and demonstrating so well!!!
Love your videos. You really put it all across so well for a beginner like me. Hugely appreciated.
Thank you. This is helpful for the DIY guy in his garage without professional tools. I appreciate it!
BEST INFORMATIVE VIDEO ABOUT DETAILING AND POLISHING BY HAND OR MACHINE IN UTUBE WORLD!!! THANKS MAN! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
Didnt know the exactly difference, and the haze was actually present after the compound. Thank you man
12:37 when the protective tape is removed, what an incredible difference! Subscribed!
I've always kept a bottle of these on hand and your video explanation is spot on for all to follow especially newbies or just the average joe who wants dial his ride in on the weekends. This video I suspect will do really well over time because the Ultimate line is very popular especially in the U.S. it's so readily available everywhere. Great presentation Sandro. 👍
I'm from Morocco and I use those exact products on my all cars .. Very good products because it very sunny country here and it stand for so long at least for 3 years
Thank you for the straightforward and easy to follow instructions. Really makes the process approachable. Even though it is time consuming, I find it very rewarding to wash and detail my car myself.
I have revisited this video because you reteach me the things that I need to keep in mind when polishing paint. You do a really great job of hitting all of the points and what is important and what to emphasize upon. Thank you greatly for this outstanding video!
Thanks for video, I'm debating on buying this on trying to remove some overspray. I have done a heavy claybar but still have the tape line on hood of overspray from a repair. Thanks again
VERY helpful to a beginner and/or a one time fix up the "old car" attempt. Thanks so much for both the hand and machine info and for the info on the polish. 😊
This video for understanding the paint correction steps of compounding & Polishing was really great. I'm sure that now understanding the steps, and your actual application process, I'll be able to do this for my personal car. Thanks very much.
This was a super informative video and thoroughly explained a ton of information. Great results!
This is VERY helpful for the weekend warrior DIYer. Thx
Your channel has become an invaluable resource - totally enjoyin' some of your vids and appreciate the time and effort you put into them.
Thank you so much for this review!! just wondering what kind of paint was on that bonnet? hard/soft-wise.
G'day Sandro very good instructional video on how to use off the shelf products and the difference between them for at home use. Thanks mate regards John
I have both the compound and the polish, and I’ve just used the compound + polish + wax on my 1970 240z, which has gone through its first full detail (clay, etc etc) in probably forever, and used the polish + wax on my new Mustang. This video helped address many questions and concerns that I had before getting to the job. Cheers!
Their are a lot of car gods out there ,You Sir are one of my Favourites Thank you.
I love your product placement and your thorough, full detailed video description. You broke this down ESPN style. 👍🏾
Thanks for the video learnt a lot.
Very informative. This is exactly what I am looking for to do my paint correction. I am also a Megurair’s fan. Thanks from Montreal.
Love it. Its incredible in detail. Nobody was explaining why and when. It gave me clear idea what should i be doing.
Thank you very much for this information. Was confused until you explained how and when to use these products
Glad I came across this video plan to clay bar, compound, polish and use sealant on my charger to get her looking brand new again!! Just subscribed thanks for the video
Nice work mate, the meg’s turned out well 👍👍👍😜👍
Great quick but very in depth video! I feel that much more confident to compound and polish my car!
Awesome products and demonstration. Thank you!
You're great at teaching/guiding us beginners. Thank you! I heard Griots Compound may be more user friendly even than Meguiar's. I plan to use the Meguiar's Polish though.
What a great video. I just bought the compound and the guy behind the counter told me that is was better to bring the car to a detailshop. First of all. I like to work on my car. So I ignored him and bought it anyway. Must say I was a bit scared of using this. But after this video not anymore. To the point and no fuss. That's what I needed to hear. I will start this sunday. Only thing I need is a good microfiber cloth. Cheers
Amazing channel! Very informative and helped me a lot. Thank you so much for this and carry on doing an amazing job!
Well explained, very useful ! Thanks 👍
Really pleasantly surprised to see you review this product st first. But really just shows how your approach to professional products can easily by transferred over to the home user. Any newbie would really appreciate your great detail explanation . Good for you Sir and we’ll done for thinking about the small guys Love from the uk 🇬🇧
I always buy loads of these when there two for one offers on
Really clear and inclusive explanation of the differences between these 2 products .... thanks
Thank you so much! This is the only video that actually explained what to do and not to do and With a good explanation
! AWESOME ! ! Crystal Clear and, Most Important, Showed How To Do Manually ! Thank You Very Much! Ed São Paulo, SP Brazil
Perfect demo. Very easy to understand. Thanks a ton 👍👍👍
You sir, are a legend
Extremely helpful! Thanks so much for the tutorial.
Thank you for the video! Very informative. Subscriber from the USA! Keep them coming!
Sandro, that was the first two products I ever bought from meguairs and like yourself i still keep a bottle of the compound because it's bob on to use on small sections by hand that arn't to bad...cheers for the vid and regards.
Finally free to catch up on your videos. Thanks for confirming that it does not have fillers. A few detailer’s been telling me that it has silicone acting like fillers and glad that it’s only enhancers. Meg’s Ultimate is a prefect product brand to get into car detailing without spending too much. DA a must with great working time. Thanks for the videos! Educational as usual. FYI, newbies - Don’t use this on hard paint :). Not aggressive enough.
UC with an aggressive enough pad + good old rotary will do the job on most ‘hard’ clearcoats, barring maybe Volvo’s (they have clear that’s even harder than most Germans).
pepecoco Ultimate Polish has fillers mate, just IPA after you’re done in an area and inspect with a bright flashlight, big difference after IPA/panel prep wipe down.
Wish I saw this post before I tried to use it on my A3.... My Rupes yellow medium pad didn't have the power with this compound to get most of the scratches out... some pressure on some generic dense foam pads did a little better but it looks like ill need to try something stronger like shol s20.
HeliconPath Would highly recommend Meguiar’s M105 ultra cut compound, follow that with something like carpro Essence and you’ll get a show car finish on your A3, I’ve used this combo on many clients’ cars with a rotary and LC pads, works very well.

Finally an Aussie talking about detailing
Very professional, detailed and helpful. Thank you. 🙏🏾
Great information for someone like me who's about to use this stuff on my car.
I can listen to your calm cheerful voice for hours especially when its narrating a detailed set of instructions to help me improve my vehicles paint. Fantastic video. Really appreciate the effort here man! on all your videos !!
Absolutely brilliant and highly informative
Fantastic video, my Friend. Great informative Demonstration! Thanks for the Tips! Cheers
Another good down to earth review for average car Joe. Not everyone has access to lots of compounds and polishers and while its good to see what out there in the pro world its also great for Sandro to go back to "basics" on products that can be sourced from Super Cheap Auto. Eg some of his car soap reviews. Good balance of videos for different audiences.
Nice to see the results. I used this on my old beat up Audi with decent results but more so recently on my ZX6R's plastic fairings. It did a good job but with certain areas of plastic you could add damage very easily. The polish had zero noticeable effect on scratches and finish in my test area so I didn't use that in the end and just did the 1 step compound.
Great video! Thanks for posting it!
Great review. Nice to see the comparison side by side.
Great vid! Just bought some Maguires compound and am ready to tackle my 19 year old car metallic paint this weekend.....Cheers Mate! 🇨🇦👊🏻
How was the outcome ?
@@Carlos.Rivera I like it, no miracles performed but I grabbed the Scatch X as well and they both have helped my old car....the cutting compound(applied with machine) is good! Going to try a second time today...its worth the $15 that's for sure! 😷
the opening music reminded me of "riders on the storm" NFSU2
Excellent demonstration. I'm surprised by the result by hand 👍I have these two products for a long time but never tested by hand. Will give it a try on small swirls.
Your video has been so helpful, i can't thank you enough! I've managed to eliminate some annoying marks around the boot and remarkably a scrape from a door!
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing Would this process be correct? - Wash/clean the paint - Apply compound - Apply polish - Apply wax? I bought the Meguiar's Ultimate Care Kit which includes all these products, and I don't want to screw it up lol
Thanks for this great guideline to me. I just need to buy some microfibres pads to get on with it. In my case, I decided to do a three step process with Meguiars ‘ products: Ultimate Compound, Ultimate Polish and Ultimate Quick Wax. Let’s see the final results. Regards from Spain.
Thanks for explaining things for hand applicators. Every detailer out here just goes straight into detailing the car with there expensive top equipement with no explanation what these products do.
Great work. Just used these two on my VW Golf today with a DA Polisher. Excellent results ⭐️ Finished off with their Liquid Wax
Gosh best video i have ever seen on KZhead. THANK YOU SO MUCH Sir, helped a lot.
Dude its like your reading my mind, I'm about to use this same products today. Great job as always Sandro.
Same here expect I haven’t purchased anything yet. How did it go?
I used these 2 but must have done something wrong coz it looks the same. On black paint though. :/
I just did it on three cars, depending on car paint, if it feels rough after washing it than it has many abbrasives and contaminants 1st use clay bar 2nd compound 3rd Polish 4th Wax
DatDamMexican hey bro, I’m on it right now. I washed, clayed, compound, polished... did you use some “grease & wax remover” prior to waxing? I saw some videos doing it to remove oils/grease from compound, polish used so the wax will stick more into the paint/clear coat.
@@gawaniisko3111 No need, if you do you will remove all the polish particles that help bring out the sparkle kind of like a matte finish and it will defeat the purpose of bringing out the gloss.
Ive been told ultimate compound is full of fillers but I used it to get rid of some scratches (by hand) and did a fantastic job, the correction seems to be permanent. However if it had fillers it would have worn out by now, I am very impressed with it. I havent tried the polish yet but I feel compelled now. Thanks for the great video!
There are no fillers in Ultimate Compound but Ultimate Polish have both fillers and abrasives. So with Ultimate Polish some minor defects will get removed and some gets filled. It's kind of mixture of M205 and one of their glaze product which I don't remember now.
If you don't like fillers, you can use Mothers Pure Polish after Ultimate Compound because that polish don't have any fillers and silicone.
I'm buying these today , need to do hand application since I don't have a buffer , thanks you for the help .
Finally Easy to understand!! Well done sir.
I've used many polishes and waxes, but Meguiars products tend to work best for me.
Your videos alone got me into detailing, and I've already established my own mobile detailing service, albeit only on a hobbystage, I love my electrician job too much. Thanks for making these awesome videos! I do have a question though, CarPro Inside, do you make a dilution with it or just use it as is?
Ah, I'll be sure to try that. Thank you, keep up the awesome work!
Being an electrician sounds cool
Spot on just the info I was looking for 🇬🇧
Great video, very helpful and good of you to cover non professional products.
Excellent video.
You're welcome. I have a quick question, if you don't mind? I own a 5vyear old metallic black Jaguar XFS, whose paint is in good condition, other than a few light swirls and scratches, and was thinking of using Meguiars D300 microfiber correction compound to correct the pain. However, would Meguiars Ultimate Compound be more suitable? Thanks in advance.
Thank you.
Having just bought ultimate compound this is a great tutorial!
Great vid bro!
Wow, such detailed information and so well spoken... What a credit to you... And a Melb fella toi
The stuff is amazing
I have a black car and paint is very slightly dull on couple of panels due to to neglect , after wash and clay and ultimate compound , what simple and easy to put on wax would you recommend to protect the paint so it can last few months till next polishing job ? Also am i missing any steps ? Just trying to accomplish clean smooth finish on the car thanks in advance and great explanation
I just came across your video, very informative. Thank you.
Great demo. Very helpful.
I love it meguairs ultimate compound
You are God's gift on Earth
Excellent video! Thanks.
Very informative. Thanks!
