- ocgretchenWorks like magicMy friend used Meguiar’s Ultimate Compound on a small mark on her car, and it worked perfectly! The spot completely disappeared, and the paint looked smooth and shiny again. It was super easy to use and gave instant results without having to do the whole car. Definitely a great product to have on hand for quick touch-ups or little blemishes — highly recommend!
- RVandyGreat Product.I parked my car near a construction site and it became covered with fallout from a paint spraying operation. It was covered with very tiny particles of paint. I used Meguiar’s Clay Surface Clay Kit to remove all the paint particles. It was very easy to apply and the result was fantastic. The surface was clean, but not slick - a polishing cloth would not slide easily over the surface. However, once I had completed the job by waxing, the surface was wonderfully slick. I highly recommend this product. It is well worth the cost.
- Susan GrayEfficient Motorcycle Tank CompoundAfter using this compound on my motorcycle tank, I was pleasantly surprised by the results. I decided to hand buff it, unsure about removing the stickers. The compound not only eliminated light scratches but also left a stunning, glossy black finish. While I haven't removed the stickers yet, I am already planning to order new ones. Overall, this product offers excellent value for money, and I wholeheartedly recommend it for a shiny, flawless tank.

Meguiar’s Ultimate Polish is one of those car care products that actually earns its name. I used it after a full wash and clay bar treatment on a 12-year-old sedan that hadn’t seen a proper polish in years—and the results were remarkable. The paint went from flat and tired to glossy and rich, with that “wet look” depth that’s usually only seen on freshly detailed show cars.
Application is straightforward: a small amount on a foam pad, work it in evenly, then buff off with a clean microfiber towel before it dries. It goes on smoothly and wipes off easier if you do smaller sections at a time. For best results, I paired it with Meguiar’s Ultimate Compound first to remove deeper oxidation and swirl marks, then followed with this polish to refine the finish before waxing. Even on dark paint, the reflections looked dramatically sharper and clearer afterward.
What stands out is how forgiving it is—gentle enough for beginners yet effective enough for enthusiasts. It’s safe on clear coats, doesn’t stain trim, and leaves the surface prepped perfectly for wax or sealant. Used by hand, it takes a bit of elbow grease; with a dual-action polisher, it’s a breeze and produces a truly professional finish.
Bottom line: an outstanding finishing polish that restores depth and gloss to aging paint and preps perfectly for wax. For under ten dollars, this is one of the best DIY detailing upgrades you can make—turns dull paint into a head-turner with minimal effort. - GeorgeOne of the best worry-free and effective polishes for beginner to proThere are a million detailing products out there, and Ultimate Polish is one that I keep coming back to. If you're a do-it-yourself / hobby / weekend detailer, this is one of the best finishing polishes. It won't correct deep scratches, but that's not what it's meant for. A finishing polish is meant to add that final clarity, depth of color, and gloss for paint that is already in decent or good condition. Especially if you have dark colored paint, this step is necessary for that perfect finish.
If you do have deeper scratches / defects / oxidation, you will need to use a compound first, such as Meguiar's Ultimate Compound. Ultimate Compound and Ultimate Polish are the "consumer" versions of their M105 and M205 products. The key difference is that the consumer versions are slightly less aggressive (meaning that they take off less clear coat) and have a longer working time (meaning if you polish too long or with too little product you're at less risk for damaging the paint). For most of us who aren't preparing show cars and who do not want to risk ruining their paint, the choice is easy. Be sure to pair each with an appropriate pad. Foam pads are easy to work with, but the colors / aggressiveness varies between brands. If you're new, look for a light to medium cut pad for the Compound, and a finishing pad (usually black) for the Polish. Run slower speed and less pressure with the polish - especially on black paint. And if you're new, definitely use a dual action (a.k.a. random orbital) polisher instead of a rotary - less risky and easier to use.
Meguiars has a TON of different polishes in their pro line for specific use cases, body shops, etc (such as M200, M205, M210). I've researched the heck out of these but it boils down to the fact that I don't want to buy all of them and fuss with it. I've read that M210 is specific to finicky black paint and works well, but it may interact poorly with trim pieces and other non-paint materials (plus it's sold in a big/expensive bottle). One thing I like about Ultimate Polish is how it barely leaves residue on trim so I don't waste time with painter's tape.
Basically - if you want to get into polishing but are overwhelmed by all of the options and information - Ultimate Polish is arguably your best place to start. And if you're like me - you just keep using it. - mikeEffective and easy to use!This rubbing compound allowed me to restore an area on my front fender that had been damaged in a parking lot and left with marks from the other car's paint to it's original sheen with remarkably little effort. I was really happy with how quickly the paint from the other car disappeared with gentle rubbing and at the condition of the original paint underneath. A great buy!
