These are very useful videos. I particularly like Dale's explanations and his demeanor. I feel confident now to begin working on my 1998 VW Jetta GLX to see how much I can improve the exterior. Your video demonstrations and descriptions of the Meguiar products remind me of receiving skin treatments at high-end salons :-)
Thank you so much for the feedback and kinds words!
Awesome work on this VW golf,even the paint is faded the ultimate compound brings out the paint fresh.
Thanks yes our Ultimate Compound has been a favorite for many years.
I can’t tell you how useful these things are for a guy with an old punto and no clue x
Outstanding results Gents. No drama 👍
Thank you!
Thanks for that carnuba tip about colors that pop. Didnt know that.
Your are welcome!
I used to think that the word "ULTIMATE" on the front of the compound (and polish) bottle was just marketing stuff, but i've got to say, after seeing videos of people using this, it might actually be the _ultimate_ compound!
Thank you for the compliment. 🤗
Attempting to restore the single stage red paint on my heavily oxidized NA Miata. This is exactly the video i was looking for.
Glad you found it and it was useful to you! 👍
Red fades the fastest (besides black) because it has the longest wave length in the colour spectrum. This means it's the easiest wave to disrupt and more importantly absorbs the most photons which in turn leads to faster bleaching cracking and other UV damage than a colour such as blue which would naturally reflect a lot of that energy back away from the finish.
Just used some today, it's working really well!
Awesome!
Thanks for the feedback.
Nice job guys. Maybe Should've uses autoglym bumper gel to make those tired trims look amazing again. Takes me back to the day I had an oak green mk2 golf gti 16v big bumpers, use to detail that to the max before going cruising at the weekend around North Devon. Ahh The Link Road thrash was epic at 3am Lol
I'm going to get some of this for my almost 19 year old limited edition mk1 Focus. The red paint on the majority of the right side of the car has faded and lost it's gloss.
Why does the oxidisation come back after a couple weeks after polishing?? Seems pointless putting all the work in?
What a satisfying video 💪
👍
going to do my 1995 honda civic this weekend with Compound
Have a few spots that seem a bit sun faded will try out this compound to see if it helps my clearcoat still looks good just has paint in a few spots has gotten lighter that the rest of the paint.
It can be tough for the average person to distinguish between paint failure and oxidation. If you need help diagnosing please feel free to shoot an email with pics to our Solutions Hub at customercare@meguiars.com.
Hi Guys what do think of the new Turtle Wax Hybrid line of product ?
Kind of sounds like our Hybrid Ceramic Wax which was released November 2018...
Very indeph video and demonstration 💪🔥🔥 thank you
Thank you for the feedback. 👍
@@meguiars I am trying to understand the functional difference when repairing oxidized clear coat by using the compound versus re-applying a new clear coat. So would you say the compound is like an alternate way to get a shiny transparent top coat (thus avoiding the need to respray a new clear coat) ?
Those are two very different things. Compound is used to remove defects including oxidation in the existing clear coat (paint). It does not leave anything behind and does not coat your vehicle with anything. It is simply remove to store existing paint.
Repainting is of course a much more expensive and difficult process most consumers would not undertake on their own due to the lack of expertise, tools/equipment, proper paint booth, etc.
If you are trying to diagnose whether or not your paint is salvageable please feel free to reach out directly to our Solutions Hub via our website. Any of our experts would be happy to help you figure out whether your vehicle possible has oxidation or has failed entirely requiring a repaint.

Off to Supercheap to pick up some of that magic goo :)
and silicone grease on the black plastic parts to make them look like new black color ! and the black rubber moldings ! silicone grease !
Beard guy just finished drinking in the Green Man on Summerisle.
Will the ultimate compound work in my situtation because I have some chipped paint on the hood and I think of sanding it and I am curious if it works after sanding
If the paint is chipped using a compound will not help as the paint has already been chipped/removed in those areas. Typically the only thing that will fix chips is touch up paint.
So what exactly are you using? What product? In this video, looks like you use only one, but which one? I saw it, Ultimate compound
As the title of the video indicates this video is using and featuring our Ultimate Compound.
Could give example of what da polisher to start with that u can grow into for ur personal cars and was that a white pad with the ultimate compound. I never used a da polisher before . Great video ty
Not entirely clear on what your question is but you will likely find this article about DA polishers very helpful.

This is not faded paint. You can clearly see that this is some kind of compound that they have left to dry to give the faded pink salmon effect paint to make you all think this is actually faded paint when it's not. Please believe me. I am a professional detailer. To address faded paint you will need to prep before compound polishing by using wet and dry sand paper.
If you want to see another RUclipsr who has exposed Meguires for this actual video.
Please click the link in the comment section. No doubt Meguires will delete this because Vikings HPVs has copied and pasted the link to his video on this post many of times and it's deleted instantly.
The thing is with Meguires is no matter where you go Meguires are absolutely disgustingley over priced and below average quality products.
You only have to listen to these guys for 5 minutes and they already tried to sell you 6 of there products
The Paint transfer is strong with this one...
Probably it’s uni-lacked, no metallic and clear coat
Is that a first Gen Econoline headlight set on that white T shirt?
HELLO HARRY MEGUIRE... I have a car that is in a similar condition. I would like to introduce the water sanding sanding step in this process. I want only to lightly sand it by hand maybe with the use of a machine with very light pass and Grit grade. What grit would you guys recommend and what would be the correct order for these steps to include the light sanding. To complicate things I want to add a light 2k clear coat to the paint as evidently all this sanding and cutting compound will remove clear and paint as at 8:35 on an oxidised car surface. Thank you
Typically we would recommend finshing with 2000-3000 grit paper. You will then want to compound and polish to remove the sanding marks and give great shine/gloss. Here is a video that shows how best to do that with some of our best compounds and polishes...

Wonderful
I just did a cut on a Milano Red 200 Integra (using macguires ultimate cut) and my cutting pad had no red residue on the pad. Any idea on what I’m doing wrong? Pretty sure it’s a single stage paint. Perhaps I’m not putting enough pressure? Thanks in advance for tips or pointers
I have the same issue with my Milano Red. Tried wet sanding a small area and still no red so I’m pretty sure it’s two stage unfortunately.
If no red is coming off on the pad that means you do not have a single stage paint you have a clear coat.
@@meguiars Cheers, thanks for the response. Legends!
@@chemstuff2657 Thanks for the response! Agree
How are the results on a white car.? - My '94 MX6 is in dire need of polishing on top of after market clear coat Will this process work ..?
The process is the same regardless of color. As long as the paint is not already at the point of failure it is absolutely worth a shot.
Hi i bought your product and did everything the video tutorial showed on my red honda civic and it hardly did anything.... am i doing something wrong.... i will try the T cut bottle next to see if that helps with bringing the colour back. Just shocked why none of it worked.

Meguiar's im a car vlogger too with almost 7k subs and i wanted as to do video with using your product but i tried it first.... like if the product worked properly i vlog it and upload a full vid. Maybe i can bring the red car to you guys to look at?
@@hoodstig Do a video of your test and people will tell you if your not doing it right.
Matrix Universe i will be very soon planning to get 4 different products and try them all in 4 sections of the bonnet and see which one gives the best results
How come a clay bar wasn't used to clean the fine dirt and dust before applying the Ultimate Compound like I've seen in other videos by Meguiar's?
Claying is not always necessary but yes, that would happen after washing and before compounding if you have bonded contaminants on the surface.
I've finally got all the bits to do this with my 1997 toyota starlet. Have had a go on the bonnet but the next day it's looking all weird and patchy? I don't know why this is as I was there buffing it in for a while and made sure I got it nice and even. Any advice?
Is this the original paint on your 1997 Toyota? If the paint is at the point of failure and not simply oxidized the only remedy is repainting. Please feel free to reach out to our Solutions Hub with more details and pictures. We would be happy to help you diagnose the situation as best we can.

hello from Greece my friend!! 3 question please!!😁😁
my car(Octavia model 2001) lost the clear goad.....can i use this product ?if i use this product can i use a 2k clear goad spray after this?
thank you very much!!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇷🇬🇷
Unfortunately if you are at the point of paint (clear coat) failure there is no remedy other than to repaint. 👍
@@meguiars ok my friend,i understand that..... but can i use this product one's a month so keep my car little more beautiful?
thanks for your time!😁😁👍👍
Awesome video! Have an 87 300sl and the bonnet, roof and boot lid look exactly the same as the picture on the front of the bottle so seems like a no brainier! A couple of quick questions, after the wax is applied does it just soak in or does it require further buffing? Also if I have a couple of rust bubbles forming do I need to avoid going there with the polisher?
Thank you for the feedback. 👍
The Gold Class Wax should be applied in a very thin coat then allowed to dry to a chalky haze before wiping off with a good quality microfiber towel. This can take as little as 10-20 minutes in some environments but it can take even longer for the product to dry if it is over applied and/or the weather is not ideal.
If you have rust spots you will want to keep the product away from them simply because the residue could become trapped in those areas and difficult to remove.
how does it fare on clear coat that is peeling? could you do multiple machine passes? asking because going to offer a neighbour to tidy up his old BMW. its a beater and he won't spend money on it
If the clear coat is peeling that is paint failure and not just oxidation. Unfortunately the only remedy at that point is repainting.
Nice!!!!
Thanks!
Right, it took me a while but for all of you who asked what is the name of the music track used in this video here you go, you are welcome :)

Is there still clear coat on the faded paint?
That depends on whether or not it is a single stage paint or clear coated vehicle.
So if use to compound on a black car I would use the polish after words or wax afterwords
If you are planning on using all three steps the order would be compound, polish, and then wax. Keep in mind polishing can be an optional step. Whether or not you choose to polish is often a decision based on the condition and color of your paint as well as your personal desires for it. The darker the color the more visual impact a polish might have. Someone who is merely trying to maintain their white daily driver in good condition might not feel it is worth their time/money to polish. Someone who is incredibly particular about their black show car may consider polishing a vital step.
Hope that helps.
What pad is better using this product because my truck paint faded some can I use a yellow pad or another color like orange. I am using a rotary polisher though.
We don't necessarily recommend this product be used with a rotary buffer as it is designed for hand, orbital, or DA application. The effectiveness and ease of use could vary widely. That being said we don't have a recommendation on a pad for a rotary but if it were used correctly on a Dual Action Polisher we would typically recommend our foam cutting disc (burgundy).
How do we go about getting one of those white meguiars shirts please?
These are the only shirts and hats we have for purchase...

How much RMP do you use for final polishing?
Not sure which step/product you are referring to when you say "final polishing" but typically for application of a polish or wax with a good DA polisher we recommend about 3000-4000 opm (orbits per minute).
I was wondering how much rmp to polish with Meguiars ultimate comboud polishing paste after it is applied to the surface?
Hi, great video, thanks.
I've been trying to achieve the same on a 2007 Honda Jazz but it has been a complete fail :-(
I started with finer pads / compounds which had no effect at all, then gradually went coarser - still no effect. Then I tried 2000 grit wet and dry, very lightly with plenty of water and a slightly deeper colour began to appear, but only a few strokes after that it was through to primer. I'm guessing that this particular car has a very thin colour coat and a hard clearcoat over the top.
Would that explain why it takes an aggressive approach to get to the oxidisation, but then there's not enough depth to get back to a rich colour?
Any insight into what's going on here would be appreciated! Thanks.
Difficult to assess without more details and pictures but it is possible your paint has reached the point of failure and is not simply oxidized. If that is the case the only remedy is repainting.
Feel free to reach out to our Solutions Hub with pictures. They would be happy to help diagnose the situation.

Thanks for responding so quick! I’ll follow that up. I suspect we are looking at a respray - or more likely just live with it - hardly a classic worthy of restoration!!
👍
What kind of tape do you use for taping off the trims?
Painters tape tends to work well.
Lo compré hoy lo probaré a ver que tal
👍
For how long this product last in rainy environment? Thanks
The compound is designed to actually remove the oxidation but how fast future oxidation might take place is highly variable and depends on many factors including the future care the vehicle receives and the environmental elements it is exposed to.
Noted you used yellow pad for roof/bonnet but dark burgundy for sides.
Reason?
It looks like the sides were worse than the top & needed more cut from the red cutting pad.
The compound dry quickly on the hood and was hard to buff off , i did it by hand
Not sure how large of a section you are working on but we recommend only do a 2X2 area at most before wiping off immediately.
Here is a video that shows how best to apply a compound by hand...
s.3m.com/n55ju2
Does it stay like that after a few washes or does it go back faded
No, it is designed to remove oxidation not just hide it. In theory given the same environmental conditions oxidation could occur again but that usually take a considerable amount of time. Of course how well the vehicle is maintained has an impact on that as well.
@@meguiars thanks for the reply, I'll give this a go on my old Brera. Hopefully it should revive the 15 year old paint
👍
Hii in this case why don't apply últimate polish after compound
Not sure why our friends over the pond chose this particular route. It is also possible that this video was not intended to cover every step for every situation. Keep in mind the wax has polish in it too so many times you can still get great results even if you only compound and wax.
Won't it be pink after a few days of rain again when polish wares off??
No, the compound will actually remove the oxidation not just hide it.
My cars paint is more faded than this one, I have been told I need to sandpaper it with 1000 then 3000 grit before getting it polished, or cab I use the polish directly
That depends on the severity of the oxidation. A couple of things to keep in mind...
1) If your vehicle's paint is actually failing/failed and not just oxidized the only real remedy is repainting. We may be able to help you diagnose with pictures.
2) Wet sanding is a professional process and will require the appropriate machine and skillset to remove the sanding marks. Make sure you are prepared to undertake that kind of project.

Hey Megs UK! I guess that Ultimate Compound is safe for trim/plastics seeing that you don’t tape of those plastics? I just love the day in the bay videos 😍
See our response the this question the first time you asked it. 👍
Meguiar's thank you, but I can’t see a response. Please let me know
Just depends on the particular trim pieces, how easy it is to avoid them, etc. There are definitely times you would want to tape off the trim.
Meguiar's thank you!

New to this stuff. I did it on my car in large areas and it dried on me and i wasnt able to buff it out well enough by hand. Its been 2 days and its dry and cloudy white. Does not come off with water or alcohol. Whats the best way to remove this? Thanks for the help.
As you may have already figured out the compound should only be applied to a small section (2'X2") at a time and wiped off immediately. There is another link below for a video that shows how best to apply compound, polish and wax by hand.
The best way to remove it is to reapply the compound the correct way as the compound will help re-release the dried residue from the first application.

@@meguiars THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR REPLYING. Will do it the correct way this time!
Happy to help! 👍
Do you think this would work will Reviving faded paint on a bicycle?
That would depend on how compromised the paint is on your bike, please reach out to us by using the contact us tab on our website as we would be more than happy to assist you.
How long does this method last after application?
If you are asking how long might it take for the oxidation to return that is a highly variable and depends on a number of factors including how well you maintain your vehicle and the environment it is exposed to.

@@meguiars it probably has died, but i'll send some pics in
Which liquid you use before the restorer
Sorry, not sure we understand your question. Can you please be more specific?
Why You guys never apply any kind of panel wipe like IPA or something before Wax or whatever??????
That is something done routinely by professionals (although likely not even a majority of them) not something required by the average person working on their own vehicle. There is a different level of time commitment and attention to detail depending on who you are. Many videos are created for the average person who might be just learning to detail not only for the elite detailers of the world. Hope that makes sense. 😃
@@meguiars it make sense, thank you
Way better
When would you polish after compounding?
If choose to polish after compounding you would typically do that right after compounding.
@@meguiars I guess I meant to ask is polishing required after using Ultimate Compound, or can you go right to waxing after compounding?
The polishing step is often optional and a personal decision likely based on the color and condition of the paint as well as your desire for it. If you have a darker color car and want the absolute best shine you may want to consider polishing between compound and wax. If you have a white daily driver in good shape and your primary concern is protection you may not see the benefit of a polish. Again, often a personal decision based on the specifics of your vehicle and your desires for it.
wht type of pad for DA ?
find pad/medium pad?
Assuming you are referring to application of our Ultimate Compound we recommend our DA Foam Cutting Disc/pad for use when applying with a DA.
I though yellow pad was for polish and brownish pad for cutting
Yes, the burgundy pad is a cutting pad typically used with compound and the yellow is the polishing pad typically used with a polish or light compound. Ultimate Compound can be used with either it is just a questions of how aggressive you want/need to get.
Why do people polish faded paint a using Meguiars Ultimate Compound? Is it because it contains silicone?
A good compound like Ultimate Compound is what is necessary to restore/remove faded/oxidized paint. It has nothing to do with silicone.
Hi I've tried this and the paint is still faded, any idea why? 😊
Difficult to say without more information or a picture. It is important to understand there is a big difference between faded (light-moderate oxidation) and paint failure. If your paint is already at the point of failure there is nothing that can be done but to repaint. Please feel free to reach out to our Solutions Hub with a couple good pictures and more details. We likely could give better guidance with more info.

Great video! , is there such a polish that will remove orange peel from paintwork?
Orange peel requires sanding then buffing to remove the sanding marks and restore shine. A compound alone will not do the trick.
It doesn’t work for my vehicle. Know my paint looks less shiny with fading spots.
Sorry to hear about your experience. What you are describing is likely not oxidation but paint failure which unfortunately the only cure for is repainting.

All these comments. You guys have no clue. All you watching this are purely commenting on what your watching. It don't work like this. This needs lacquer treatment wet sanding then polishing.
Well I tried it on my black bonnet and its literally taken the paint off. Just doing it by hand lol
Ultimate Compound is still very safe and relatively mild. It does not just remove paint from vehicles as thousands of user can attest. If the situation is as bad as you described there has to be more to this story.
Please feel free to reach out to our Solutions Hub with a full description of your vehicle, the prior condition of the paint, and good pictures. We will be happy to help diagnose the situation.

Friend has a hood trying to remove oxidization
Wash, clay, compound, polish, wax
Sniper Paint Correction that’s exactly what we did. Used ultimate wash wax and the clay bar kit and Ultimate polish finishing with Gold Class Wax
How did it come out? Feel free to ask any further questions.
Meguiar's it came out great it would be perfect if we had a DA polisher but by hand. It removed alot
Just depends on the particular trim pieces, how easy it is to avoid them, etc. There are definitely times you would want to tape off the trim.
Is this just one process? So you use the compound and it gives this shine? I imagine it wouldn't last long
The primary function of a compound is to remove defects in paint not give a high shine. Of course removing defects, especially oxidation, will dramatically improve the appearance of the paint. As shown in the video you would typically at minimum want to wax after compounding which would add gloss and protection.
@@meguiars What is the job of Polish? I see you can also get Maguires Polish and Wax. I assume you could do this as a 3 stage
Polish is designed to create the highest shine possible. A pure polish does not offer an defect removal or protection and would be used between compounding (defect removal) and waxing (protection). How much of an impact a polish has is relative to the condition and color of paint.
Hm! Time for a shot of clear coat?
😂
is the result permanent or need to repeat in a year or so?
The current oxidation is actually removed. It's not just being hidden. That's not to say a vehicle with old paint being beaten up by the elements regularly will not slowly oxidize again in the future. The same thing that caused this situation could of course happen again and that is why frequent care/maintenance is important.
@@meguiars thanks for the reply
I think that some parts like the mirror its impossible to be restored , the varnish completely missing an d the colour is faded
Maybe in that occasion you just masking ? Im asking all this because : i have a problem with my red perl hood (swift sport 2008) , 2 spots diameter about 15cm each , seems like varnish removed(not sure)
When you pass your finger feels like light scratching
The optical result is like light matt
Any thoughts ? Need to be painted or by all the process i will have a permanent result( without care for 3 years )
What you are describing could be paint failure. If that is the case unfortunately the only true remedy is repainting. Here are some examples of paint failure...

@@meguiars thanks a lot
Unfortunatelly as i see by the photos im in the beginning of clear coat failure
@@meguiars My neighbours Mini 1st Gen has a total paint failure but not on all panels. The bonnet, roof and rear are perfectly fine, one door and side panels are disastrous. That makes me think it is not just oxidation but a failure of painting itself, in the factory. All panels are exposed to natural elements in the same way since 2003 but only now it shows possibly different environments, methods or ingredients during the process of painting.
Jeez
Is the effect permanent?
It does actually remove the oxidation if that is what you are asking. It does not mean that your paint exposed to time and elements would never possibly oxidize again.
It did not work for me this way.
Disappointed to hear that. Please feel free to reach out to our Solutions Hub to discuss the specifics about your vehicle and experience. One of our surface care experts will be happy to create a more effective action plan if possible.

George Ezra look a like
The faded paint will become worse after the surface dry out. If you polish it after you compound it and seal it with wax, it may hold up for 3 to 6 months. Again, you can't save faded paint by keep cutting it. Compound will make each single narrow scratch become Grand Canyon. From a distance, the paint looks haze.
I have used Meguiars on my heavily faded red Suzuki. As you said, polished and waxed well made it well-protected but a year on the care for the paint was still a breeze. The effect didn't fade again, on the contrary, with some further polishing troublesome places for absolute perfection the paintwork was absolutely spotless. Cleaning bacame easier and all it needed was a waterless wash and thick fiber cloth. No marks, no fading, water marks, scratches and any sign of oxidation. .
I did this recently and it made the fade and paint worse .
Sorry to hear about your experience. Sounds like you may be dealing with paint failure and not simply fading/oxidation.

😅 yeah and then in 2 weeks time the car will be pink gain 😂 this isn't how this would work. Trust me on this!! Red paint is a nightmare 😫 and notorious for fading. I won't take any cat with paint as bad as this golf! I would tell the customer sorry I am not interested in taking the job. It would waste too much of my time. I spend a maximum of 5 hours on a vehicle at £55 per hour
I'm not sure I trust a guy who uses a waterless wash on their car 😅All that's doing is rubbing tiny dust and sand particles into your paint causing scratches.
Your putting waterless wash and WAX on a car your just about to polish with a cutting compound, surely you want to he washing and then clay baring
Man you need to stop putting your fingers in paint and chemicals. Quick way to get liver failure.
They just wax it some poeple they repaint it.
stupid music. stop it.
Dont use masking tape across a panel, its just stupid!
This is for testing/demo purposes only. No one is recommending you do this without reason on you average detail.
Check back a few weeks later and it'll be faded again. Meguiar's is one of the worse products to use.
Must be a Turtle Wax employee. I've used both Mequiar's and Turtle Wax and both worked very well.
I bet that on this Golf is fake faded color on the roof and on the door and on the mirror housing. Prepared these surface for hours to demostrate this chemicals goodness. Sad to see this kind of cheating.
Wrong I’ve just done this myself on a vehicle in the same level of state and it really does work that well
