Meguiar'sM10001 Mirror Glaze Pro Speed Compound, A Glaze Designed for The Exterior of Your Car, Removes Deep Scratches, Holograms, and Severe Swirls Using Advanced Technology, 1 Gallon Container

If you're looking for a product that works will with 3M pads, costs much less than the over-hyped European counterparts and removes the haze left from sanding, this is it! This is the only product I've found that removes 100% of the haze with only a few passes and works well as a 1-step polish.For my use, I'm using it to remove the haze left by 3M's Trizact 1500 then 3000 pads and with their white compounding pad. I first tried Sonax's Cutmax, which is a step below M105. Both of those products only get rid of ~75% of the haze after sanding. I also tried Menzerna's Super Heavy Cut 300 compound and that gets rid of about 90-95% of the haze after several passes with a good amount of pressure. Haze was still visible when inspecting under direct light, especially on curved panels where heavy pressure or high buffing speed is dangerous. With Meguiar's M100, I can do about 2 quick passes at medium speed and all the haze is gone, leaving a finish that's good enough to call 'show car' quality. The M100 also worked great on plastic bumpers at a low speed where using the other product made no noticeable difference. This will definitely by my go to compound going forward!That said, this compound might be too aggressive for doing a light correction for swirls or car wash scratches. If you use this as an all-in-one compound for light correction work, I'd recommend a less aggressive pad and low pressure.

It got rid of 1000 grit sand paper scratches on the gauge panel on my Honda Rubicon. I bird pecked and scratched the clear plastic very badly while it was sitting in a tractor shed. It polished out very good and I did it by hand.

It is rated as a very aggressive compound. I struggled with my hefty 7-inch Harbour Freight rotary polisher with an old abused wool pad and didn't burn anything, even though it was my first correction job on a car. It removed 1500 grit sanding scratches after 4-5 runs. When I started using 2000 sandpaper, it accelerated the compounding process and the surface of my car was already presentable. I don't have experience with other compounds, but this one worked well for me.

Having used lots of different compounds and polishes in my 10 years of detailing I found this stuff to work pretty good. I couldn’t get it to cut as deep as I wanted it to. maybe I have to try different pads but it was worth buying.

Decided to use this instead of my normal Meguiar's Ultra-Cut Compount 105. I've been using 105 for years as part of a 3-step process with a Porter Cable DA Polisher (PORTER-CABLE 7424XP 6-Inch Variable-Speed Polisher). I use SPTA 6inch 150mm Buff Pad Polishing Pad kit For Car Polisher Pack of 5Pcs. Here are my steps:1. Ultra-Cut Compound 105. Orange SPTA pad.2. Ultra-finishing Polish 205. Blue SPTA pad.3. Synthetic Sealant 2.0. Black SPTA pad.This has more cutting power than 105 but I did not notice aggressive cutting as other reviewers. It also does not have powder residue like 105. I made two passes on my hood (2yr old car) and noticed improved performance. After two passes with M100, 1 pass with 205 and 1 pass with Sealant 2.0, I still had a few micro-scratches in the clear coat but fewer than I've noticed while using 105 after just two passes.Bottom line - I recommend M100 over 105. More cutting power than 105 but not super-aggressive. No powder residue.

Great product

It effectively removes deep scratches and severe swirls, restoring a smooth finish. The 1-gallon container is great for larger projects, and it’s easy to apply and buff off.

Meguair's products always work well. If not, it is probably you.
