Pros & Cons
Pros
Meguiar's is a well-trusted product by detailers and me. This compound works like a charm. This is a good entry level 1st step detail i'd say, that anyone should at least try before moving onto more expensive and exotic products.
I always use meguire's car wash and polishes for it and my other vehicles, but someone advised to try this on the headlight covers instead of a dedicated headlight restorer. Bought the matching polish and used it on both cars. Car looks really nice.
Use lots of microfiber towels and clean them often. This is the very best scratch remover i’ve ever used! Be sure to use a wax coating after. This scrub is great for getting rid of bug splats.
Cons
The day after applying the compound, there were residual marks all over, even after wiping off with a microfiber towel many times. Once it goes one, you have to be fast in wiping it off or it will leave a discoloration.

Competitiveness
4 stars instead of 5 because it did need 2 applications so pretty much the entire bottle, which is pretty pricey compared to ot... Read More
From now on, i'll be using this instead of using the expensive touch up paints and clear coats.
