If your paint feels rough to the touch you can make it super smooth using a clay bar or clay mitt.I like to use a light clay bar to remove bonded contamination. This will help you get much better results. Be careful, clay bars can scratch the paint. If the scratch is deeper, start by buffing the edges of the scratch with sandpaper until the paint looks dull. Not every car requires a 3-step polishing job. Cars with heavy swirls, scratches, and oxidation may require heavy compounding to remove deep defects and damage, then finer grades of polish to remove compounding marks and finish with a perfect mirror reflection.

Full polishing detail jobs can take dozens of hours per car. With VSS Scratch & Swirl Remover, an entire car can be polished in a few hours in just one pass. Use Chemical Guys VSS Scratch & Swirl Remover for fast and effective removal of defects and scratches in one easy step. Get Meguiars Ultimate Compound whenyou have an older car with faded or oxidized paint. Its heavy cutting ability will reduce the appearance of heavy swirls, scratches, and water spots.

We measured effectiveness by noting how well (or how poorly) each product masked the scratches. We tested each remover on car scratches of varying depths with the expectation that these products would not remove deeper scratches.If I am doing a whole car I will use a polishing machine but if I’m just polishing some light scratches I might do it by hand using a foam pad.

What is it? Meguiars Ultimate Polish is a light polish that also contains glaze. It’s a light abrasive product designed to restore shine to faded paint. Car scratch products tend to leave residue after the buffing process. How much did the product leave, and did it make the car hard to clean? Products that left the least residue or traces scored best in this category. But both of these products are very effective when applied by hand. So you can try to use them by hand first and if you want better results you can think about using a polishing machine. How to prepare your car for Ultimate Compound or Ultimate Polish If your vehicle’s paint job has scarring and other small scratches, you don’t necessarily need to recoat it; a good swirl remover or polish may be enough. Paint swirls come from tiny scratches that aren’t visible by themselves unless you use a microscope. But together, this “micro-marring” adds up to a macro problem.The abrasiveness of the product will remove a microscopic layer of your clear coat. This will make it look much better. What is it? Meguiars Ultimate Compound is a polishing compound. It’s an abrasive product designed to smoothen down and clean the surface of your paint and make it look better. All the products we tested did what they advertised: They removed light to moderate scratches in the finish of the vehicle. Most of the products clearly state that they are not made to fill in deep scratches or scratches that you can feel with your fingernails. Meguiars Scratch X is tough enough to get rid of fine scratches but gentle enough not to leave you with more. Unlike the more aggressive cutting compounds, Meguiars Scratch X has an advanced formulation that will both remove swirls and scratches and improve the paint colour. If you have an older car with really faded paint you could use both products to get the best possible results. If you have a relatively new car or a car that has recently been professionally detailed or polished, you can get by just using Ultimate Polish. Which One Do I Use First?
