does anyone use meguiars ultimate compound? im just wondering if its supposed to be a paste or liquid, ive got a bottle and its pure liquid. just looks kinda funny.

 

Its supposed to be a semi-thick liquid I believe. Did you shake it real well?

 

lol yea, i actually bought one and took it home, opened it and it was watery so i took it back to oreilly auto and asked if it was supposed to be that thin, we opened another one and it was the same way even after shaking it up so i figured it was supposed to be like that. i just found a forum where people were talking about it saying it was watery as well, they called customer service and meguairs replaced it for free so thats what im guna do. seems like a lot of people were having the same problem with it, its supposed to be thick like a wax.

 

Mine is like hand lotion.

And like any product like this if left in extreme heat it will turn liquid. I've had tanning lotion do it too. That may not be it but I would put money on it sitting in some high temps for a while at some point.

 

this would probably explain why it doesnt work like i thought it would, when i put it on the pad its just runs off, im sure if i held the bottle upside down it would just pour out like water.

 

Well, even with the thicker correct kind I found it didnt do what I thought it would but maybe I was expecting too much.

 

lol maybe so, what were you using to apply it?

 

Foam applicator. Im a noob but following directions it didnt do what I thought it would (probably need to use one of the orbital polishers for my problems)

I also used it after 2500 wetsand on my headlights and I cant tell a difference. Looks like I just wetsanded them. Maybe I am expecting too much of a polish effect from it.

Oh well trial and error

 

did you follow up with a good wax?

 

Yeah I used Black Box its wax for black cars.

Not knocking U. Compound I just had different expectations I think. Im a noob so it happens.
