- Welcome to the Meguiar's RUclips Channel.
Patrick, our resident videographer and photographer has been with us 5 months now and has NO IDEA how to take care of his car.
Many people like Patrick can sometimes get lost in the sea of car care products. What do I wash my car with? How can I keep it clean after I've washed it? It's the simple things that we want to help and educate you on.
So, introducing "Detailing 101". A step by step guide on the basics of car care, featuring Patrick and his BMW E36. During this series you'll see us educate Patrick on the most simple ways to Wash, Clean & Prep, Polish, Protection and Maintain his car.
Our aim is to share with you the simplest forms of car care, whether you're a non car guy, a car enthusiast, or someone that just wants to further their knowledge about detailing or the Meguiar's product range.
Every Saturday we hold club seminar's, all the way from January through to March as well as attend over 40 shows & events throughout the year and one of the most commonly asked about subjects is Polish. In this video we myth-bust the confusion between polishing and waxing and show you how to create that show car shine with the Meguiar's Ultimate Polish.

The Meguiar's UK channel is so much better than the U.S. one in my opinion.
Couldn't agree more with you
Jackson Hilliard sad but true! It’s almost like they’re not even the same company how much better these UK guys are
Swedish Meguiars dont even use the MT300, they use Rupes :D
seen the U.S. version and this far more superior
thank you, for the info, I did exactly what you said, alot of the scratches are gone.
It's alot of work, I did the clay bar, the compound, the polishing and the wax, one after the other. The wife was freaking out, it took a little Moore the 8 hours. But worth it. Again thank you and keep up the good work, Mike from Ottawa Ontario CA
Really excited for the end results! I’ve been detailing for years as a hobby and gotta say even if these are more suited to beginners you’re still giving out great information and I really enjoy the videos!!
Brilliant! Glad you enjoy them.
I’m in Australia and watching all your videos love them
You guys are the best! I been a Meguiar user for over 6 years using various Maguiar products. I learned a lot from your videos. thanks
Really can't get over how glossy the paint is after the polish,you guys seriously are awesome Meguiars UK💥💥💥💯
You two are my favorite duo. Been up all night, thanks.! Lol y'all crack me up.!
Been learning alot since episode 1 🚗
Love the content of this channel
Greetings from L.A, California 😎👍🏼
there is a dent behind the emblem on the hood. Thanks for this series. loving every bit of it so far.
Nice to meet you today Patrick, keep the great videos coming guys! Nice work!
First good video I always love these videos they are so informative and that’s why I watch them and i am In to my detailing and I love the vids
Aidan’s car wash channel and more first good video?
Pienso que queda más homogéneo el encerado con máquina que a mano y puede ser que se utilice menos producto....
Buen video, saludos desde San Pedro Cholula,Puebla,México.
I came home one day to find my Alfa GTV6 had been polished while parked on my driveway by Meguiars. It was nice and shiny and had a paper stuck on the window informing me of the service.
Awesome video,im liking these videos.cant wait for the next one.
Great video guys thank you
Clay bar, compound, polished and waxed. How do I maintain and keep the paint protected thereafter? When do you repeat these steps? Which shampoo should be used.
great vid
👍 good job.. Waiting for next 🙏
With Compound you say go at a speed of 1 inch per second. What speed do you go with when using the Polish?
When removing scratches and polishing afterwards, maybe even waxing, what do you do with the plastic and rubber bits on the car such as door / window seals? Do you tape them off?
You can however products like Ultimate Compound, Ultimate Polish and Ultimate Wax are all plastic and rubber safe
Regarding meguiar's detailer D300, where is the cut? Between M105 and ultimate compound for example? thank you in advance
Nice work, what kind of pad do I need to polish my white car??🤔🤔
If you are using a DA polisher the Yellow polishing disc is perfect. By hand use the same on as in the video! Yellow foam applicator pad.
Please give us a similar review as this, but with the white and beige bottles in the background :) :) :)
Just clay bared my car. .dont have any scratches I waxed it useing meguiars cleaner wax. . Canni just skip to polishing or doni neednto compound?
Do you apply in straight lines when using pads by hand with the polish? or do mimic application as you would apply wax in small circles
It doesn't really matter but it's probably easier to see where you've been if you go in circles and straight lines!
meguiar’s ultimate polish is suitable for Brown metalic paint
When is the Hybrid Ceramic Wax actually going to be available to buy in the UK? Or, are you guys doing a big reveal in the next episode?
P.S. How do I get on to a day in the bay?
Hi Meguiar's UK team. Great job on the videos BTW. Can you use the Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Spray was after using the Ultimate Polish product? If yes, what is the process? Thank you.
Meguiar's polish is kind of non-greasy wax
Designed for vehicle without scratch coat layer That's the right definition.
Do i need to wash the car after polishing using wash and wax or can i ho straight to the wax?
No need to wash the car after Polishing. Once you've got the desired gloss protect it with the wax.
Odd question lads I've a powder coated snap on tool box would it be safe to use a machine compound and polish on it thanks keep up the great work and Amazing products
As with all products everyone has its use I have a metallic ebony car would you recommend any other polish ?
The Ultimate Polish is the only polish we have! I would suggest protecting the paint after the Ultimate polish with something like our Ultimate Wax.
Hey guys love all the vids and have just got myself a da with some ultimate compund with ultimate liquid wax to get me through this virus shite.how long roughly does the was last.i wash the car every week proper 2 bucket ect.car driven 200miles per week so how often should I apply the wax.i have traffic film remover should I stop using that every wash.cheers kev (scotlan) 👍
Can the new Meguiars 3in1 be used instead of the Ultimate Polish, after a compound?
Absolutely
After ultimate polish can i use gold class carnauba premium pluse paste wax and top with ultimate quick wax?
Absolutely! Any top up of wax will bond to any existing wax.
@@meguiarsuk thank you so much
Ahh m8 would love for you guys to have a go at my car for these videos. Its a BMW 640D navy blue which would be perfect for videos. Gimme a buzz here lads if you would want to as i would really appreciate that.
Can i use ultimate polish if i use wash and wax shampoo?
Absolutely! Just make sure the car is completely clean and dry before application
Hello guy’s !! Im from Belgium and im sorry for bad english :).. but i have 1 question !? .. can you plz answer me ? You answer maybe in the vidéo but with my bad english i not understand vry well :).. im not sure if i need compound on the car of my Mum .. the peint is sleepy but not get white ... just the gloss are look little mate at some place ://.. i want to restore the peint and then put some céramique on the car to sealling it :).. i just need to know if i need compound :).. thx a lot 🙏
If my car is ok can only clay it and wax? And about polish? I've heard that you should only polish a car about 3 or 4 times in its all life. Is that true? How many times can I use your polish product? Regards.
What is the best way to remove scratches from car glass with a meguires d a polished? Can ultimate polish or compound be used? If not what’s best?
can we use ultimate compound on head lights ?
is this step necessary after compound?
Hi Dale, i have got ceramic coating on my car. How often should i compound, polish and wax...referring to the steps in these chain of videos. Thank you.
Compounding the car will remove your ceramic coating mate a car Should if been prepped before coating if you have swirls and marks in the paint compound polish and than re coat it
Why dont you use a iron out remover ? Before claying ? Greetzzz from Holland
We are using all consumer based products to keep it as simple as possible for any new detailers or car enthusiasts.
@@meguiarsuk allright i understand your explanation thnx for that bud Why didn't make Mequiars a detail product for removing Iron particles for the enthusiasts
just needs a vader interior now.......
I always thought POLISHING and WAXING were the same thing?
What's the difference?
What's the deal with the mt3000. These guys are the only ones you see really using it. Is it not a good machine. Reading it sounds to be pretty good and not badly priced. I am looking to purchase another DA and am really looking at the meguiars.
Joe Gross I use it, it shakes a bit more and is more noisy than rupes 15 DA. But is also cheaper. It is good overall machine. I used also Chemical Guys pads with it with no issues.
is it possible to use meguiars ultimate compound, meguiars ultimate polish and meguiars white wax to my car using Bosch GPO 950? not using DA POLISHER, please help, thank you
Patrick. My car is treated by Star-guard protection to the paintwork. Does your method of detailing still apply.
I've not heard of Star-Guard before. Is it a ceramic type of protection?
@@meguiarsuk I'll get back to you on that Patrick. Many thanks for getting back to me.
Hi Patrick. StarGard apparently, it's a product that Mercedes apply to their cars and is polymer based. I saw it on RUclips. Hope this helps. Cheers.
@@Jimmy2Pies If it's the same as a normal ceramic coating then yes the process is the same when it comes to polishing. Anything like clay or Ultimate compound may compromise it. In terms of wax it will only connect to it and provide more protection.
Thank you for your advise Patrick.
Can you not wet sand the scratch compound it then polish and wash it depending on depth of it?
Using our Ultimate Compound it keeps it nice and simple for any new detailers or car enthusiasts starting out!
Please for god sake fix the audio, is so annoing like this
Sincere apologies. We had an audio issue!
@@meguiarsuk Keep up the series, loving this tipe of content !
How many pads do you advise to use.. even for compounding..?
All of our foam pads we would do a complete correction detail.
@@meguiarsuk 1 pad per product then. What about when you do a test spot with a product.. new pad or brush and clean previous pad then apply new product..?
@@tazznijjar7111 No need to change pad. just apply the product again for a new section
@@meguiarsuk thanks all of your help and advice 🙏. Your vids are always top class and very funny! Keep it up... and get more videos out of you guys detailing, training or just trying g out new products! 👊
@@meguiarsuk so if I used M205 on an orange pad but I needed more cut so went to M105 would I have to change to a new orange pad for test spot or brush off M205 then apply M105 to the same orange pad?
After the Polish, Do I need to use IPA solution befoure Ultimate wax?
After polishing apply the wax to protect that gloss.
Hi, the bottle states this is a 'glaze' as well as a polish. Which is the more accurate? How much 'cutting' micro abrasives does this contain? Can this be used as a filler glaze in it's own right?
This is close to a polish than a glaze, as glaze is quite a broad description. It's a refining tool used to remove hazing after compounding.
@@meguiarsuk thank you!!! By using the product by hand will this add more oils rather than cut to remove marring/haze?
@@gurdevsihre1828 Both application processes will achieve a high gloss level as well as cut however the machine will get a higher level of cut.
Please do sth about that audio...
Sincere apologies! Will be fixed for the interior videos!
How come you done use panel wipe after compounding and polishing ?
Don't *
You would use a panel wipe to remove any silicones before painting. The ultimate compound and polish don't leave any silicones behind.
@@meguiarsuk I'm more on about polishing oils I was always led to believe after using polishes or compounds to use a panel wipe to remove any oils ?
@@Onlyaudis4 They have polishing oils within its chemistry but it's not a physical residual left behind.
@@meguiarsuk okay thank you
Am I able to mix the ultimate polish into my meguiars ultimate wash and wax ??
No unfortunately not. The product is to be applied to a clean dry car for maximum results.
@@meguiarsuk thankyou for taking the time to reply 👍
isnt this a pre wax cleaner
The Ultimate Polish is for MAXIMUM gloss levels before applying a Wax to protect that gloss.
@@meguiarsuk yh thats what a pre wax cleaner is
Could you use my car next time ?
Can i wax after using this polish before ceramic coating? Or do i need to skip waxing and proceed directly to ceramic coating ? Thanks
