Meguiars Ultimate compound
Just wanted to pass along my recent experience using Meguiars ultimate compound.
I noticed a light scratch on the lower part of my door that was very noticeable. Ran my finger across the scratch and it did not catch... so I new I could probably polish it out. I already had a tube of Meguiars Scratch X, so gave it a try. Did not do much of anything. Scratch was still visible. Now I'm worried... Did some research online and read about Meguiars Ultimate compound and decided to give it a try. (Did not want to do wet sanding unless absolutely necessary) Wow... after using MUC the scratch is 95% invisible. Hope this helps others with the same blemishes as my 6 year old 135i has. Now I am planning to do the whole car before polishing with "Blackfire Wet Diamond".

Thanks for sharing, I always thought I would try it if I have a scratch, I keep that in mind

I just used the same stuff on my car yesterday. I just purchased the car and I think the previous owner took it to the carwashes that touch the car so it had a lot of fade and fine scratching, now my arm is sore as hell today (did the car by hand) but it looks so much better, that stuff works great.

Yeah, I just did my whole car also. It does require a lot of elbow grease. My arm was hurting too. It does a very good job of cleaning the paint. After that I hit it with Blackfire wet diamond and that stuff goes on a off easy.....

Malm's Chemical sells a tool called a Kolonsky applicator. I use it with the Ultimate compound and it makes the work a lot easier. You should also try the Ultimate paste wax. It seems to synergize with the compound. I have been using both since Meguiars's came out with them a few years ago. Best products I have ever used and I have tried a lot, most which were much more expensive.

BF Wet Diamond is not a polish. It is a wax.
Meg's #205 is a polish that will finish down the hazing and micro-marring of UC. After that, then you can do an alcohol wipedown to remove polish oils and finally apply BF wet diamond. Good luck!
