Used the Meguiars ultimate compound with a machine polisher to bring up dull red paintwork(no lacquer top coat).It worked great and i just finished off hand polishing with Autoglym super resin polish(long story why i didn't use machine for polishing).
So car looked stunning but a few weeks later its back to being dull again,how often can you use this ultimate compound?How abrasive is it?
Other strange thing that happened is you know if a car gets light rain spots on it then the drops dry in little circles?Well usually if you wiped a droplet mark with your finger it would come off,these don't and my cars covered in them??
I know they will come off with the compound again but i wasn't expecting dry rain drops to 'stain' the paint and stay there??
