Ultimate Car Compound | Removes swirl marks & scratches with restoring color & clarity | 450ml (pack of 1)

It doesn't remove any scratches and totally useless in case of faded paint just like the claim it doesn't restore the paint and scratches good for polishing thats it. Unsatisfied

There are some products which work for one user but not for another and you can't objectively say whether it's a good product or not. Ultimate Compound (UC) is not one of those products; it's been around for years and has been repeatedly proven and shown to be one of the absolute best compounds available to the average user like yourself and I. The professional grade aggressive compounds are even better but they're for highly experienced professional detailers and that's not what we're here for. But yes, even the professional detailers love UC and always have it in their collection. Do not pay attention to reviews that say it doesn't work; it works brilliantly; watch some YouTube videos in addition to reading these unreliable Amazon reviews; using any paint correction product with a polishing machine would give the best results but this compound is also formulated to work for the average weekend user who wants to work by hand and bring old tired paint on his car back to life. I used this on a black 10 year old Innova and you can imagine what a black 10 year old paintjob looks like in the extreme Indian weather/road conditions. I didn't have my machine, it took me 3 days to finish the whole car by hand and machine would've definitely made the job faster/easier. But I also enjoy working by hand, got the job done and the results made the 3 days of sweat and hard work worth it. Very satisfying and a great sense of accomplishment. It made me smile when my uncle asked me whether I'd had the car repainted. This was only by hand and I can't imagine how much better it would've been with a machine. And for those people saying their scratches were not removed; UC works on not just scratches but also oxidation/fading/swirls/blemishes/water spots and other defects. But as a user friendly compound which was designed to be foolproof and safe for all paintjobs, it has its limits and you need to know and accept those limits. Just remember this; if UC did not remove your scratch, then it means that you either did not work it hard enough; or it means that only advanced professional compounds and techniques like wet sanding or repainting will fix that scratch. It's a brilliant product; just remember its limits and know that there are very few consumer level products that will do as great a job as Ultimate compound. I'll say it's magic in a bottle for old tired paintjobs. If you're doing it by hand, here are my tips: 1) It's very tiring to do a whole car by hand. Your tired arms will not be able to keep up that level of effort and the results will suffer too. So work on only one panel or two and stop when you're tired. Come back next day or whenever next possible. Think of it as a marathon and not a sprint; you can't finish the car in one day with good results; not by hand. 2) Use a microfiber glove/pad instead of those small round foam sponges. You can also fold a microfiber towel into a thick pad. Microfiber gives much more bite/cut than soft foam pads and you get much more correction for all your effort. They're also larger and easier to work with than small foam pads. Your best options on Amazon India are: A) Softspun brand microfiber polishing pads; these come in a pack of 6; rectangle or circle shaped; with a strap to hold the pad comfortably for long periods of time; 350 rupees for the 6 pads and a superb long lasting product. I prefer the rectangle; easier to reach corners/tight areas.

Link below: https://www.amazon.in/SOFTSPUN-Microfiber-Multipurpose-Sided-Glove/dp/B06WWJ75PQ/ref=cm_cr_srp_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8 Both those products are perfect partners for this job and I've reviewed them on their product pages as well. 3) Do it in the shade/garage; you can't use in direct sunlight on hot paint; any product would just dry up too fast. Do not let it touch any black plastics, rubber or unpainted areas; it will stain them; use only on painted surfaces and headlights/taillights. 4) Use a fair amount; don't just take 2-3 drops for a whole door or bonnet like they show in the videos; that works only by machine on shiny new cars. For your old dirty paint, you need a nice thick circle of the compound on your pad for each panel, like one door. Divide the larger roof and hood/bonnet areas into 4 quarters; one circle of the compound for each quarter. If your headlights/taillights look yellowed/faded/scratched, use the compound to freshen them up too. Spend at least 15 minutes working on each panel and use firm pressure (like a strong manly handshake) but don't press down too hard; let the pad do more work than your hand; it's all about good technique. Work in tight circles mostly but also make repeated straight line passes in a # pattern (left right and up down), all over the panel. If it starts to dry, apply some more; never rub a dry panel; lubrication is NECESSARY. Once you're satisfied with your work, wipe/buff off immediately with a fresh clean folded microfiber cloth. There is no need or benefit to letting it stay/dry longer on the panel. It has done its job. Keep switching to a new fresh side of the folded towel as you remove/buff the compound from each panel you finish. 5) Once you finish a panel, rub your polishing pad thoroughly on another dry microfiber cloth before starting the next panel. This is to clean/remove the used up compound and junk that came from the panel you just finished. It's a very important step and if you skip it, the later panels will not be as good as the earlier panels because the polishing pad is clogged and blocked with all the gunk coming off your car. This process will be enough for most people but if you want an even more refined glossy finish; you can repeat the whole process with Meguiar's Ultimate Polish. This is a finishing/refining polish and will remove any remaining haze and cloudiness that usually happens after compounding. If you're doing this, then use those soft foam pads instead of microfiber. Foam works better than microfiber when you just want to finish and refine the wonderful job done by the Ultimate Compound. This polish too should be removed after polishing and no need to let it stay/dry on the panel. Remember, this is not a necessary step and most people will be perfectly happy with just using the compound without the Ultimate Polish. Apply a strong synthetic spray sealant like 'Turtle Wax Seal N Shine' or any other wax of your choice afterwards to protect your newly restored paintwork and headlights/taillights. Always wash and dry your car gently in straight lines and never in circles. That's what causes the most swirls and scratches. Sorry for the long read but I've been doing this since years and love to share my learning/experiences with those who might be looking for it; you can also see my profile for reviews of other great detailing products on Amazon. Best of luck and happy detailing.

Item is good but it has too cost

One of the best compound in the market. You would get cheaper product but this one performs exceptionally great. Make sure you understand the process before applying on your car or bike.

It was not removing even the lightest scratches. Only good for polishing
