To gather this information, we have hand picked 10 highly rated car polishes and compounds in Amazon.
We researched the manufacturers for product specs, read the reviews in forums, other shopping sites and forums, studied the results in videos and product reports.
To come up with the results, we studied all the reviewer’s experience when using the product based on these important factors:
- How it took out paint defects like oxidation, swirls and scratches.
- Price.
- Ease of application and removal.
- The shine and gloss afterwards.
Overall the Meguiar’s Ultra Finishing Polish takes the cake because of the micro abrasives that remove most if not all swirl marks and scratches, and it is a finishing polish unlike the ultimate compound that leaves behind some marring that needs a product like the Ultra Finishing Polish (which happens to be the #1 product in this list) to finish the job.
It is not the cheapest but this product works as advertised, it can be used by hand but to get the best results use this with a random orbital polisher and a finishing pad.
This product is a finishing polish, meaning it will work on removing most swirl marks and scratches.
If paint has severe oxidation and paint defects use a more aggressive compound like the Meguiar’s Ultra Cut Compound or less aggressive Meguiar’s Dual Action Cleaner/Polish.
Most people make the false assumption that a car polish being similar to a car wax, case in point the Nu Finish Liquid Car Polish, despite being branded a polish, it is in essence a car wax – it has no paint correction properties whatsoever.
