The fastest, safest way to restore colour, clarity, and gloss to your vehicle’s paintwork.

Meguiar’s Ultimate Compound is a game-changing formula designed to eliminate stubborn paint defects like oxidation, swirl marks, light scratches, and water spots — all in one easy step. Whether you're dealing with dull, neglected finishes or minor surface imperfections, this advanced formula restores a deep, rich colour without leaving behind scratches or haze.

Using breakthrough micro-abrasive technology, this compound cuts as fast as harsh abrasives but without damaging clear coat finishes. It removes imperfections that waxes can’t cover — making old-school rubbing and polishing compounds obsolete. The exclusive “scratchless” abrasive system safely removes paint defects without fillers or added gloss agents, revealing the true clarity of your paint.

Whether applied by hand or with a Dual Action (DA) polisher, the results are quick, consistent, and professional-grade. Follow with Meguiar’s Ultimate Polish and Ultimate Wax for an unmatched, show-stopping finish.


Key Benefits:

  • Restores neglected, oxidised, or scratched paintwork

  • Cuts like a heavy-duty abrasive – but without the risk of scratches

  • Safe for all clear coat and single-stage paints

  • Leaves a high-gloss, swirl-free finish

  • Works by hand or with a DA polisher

  • No fillers – removes defects instead of masking them


How to Use:

Shake well. Apply to a cool, clean surface in the shade.

By Hand:

  • Use a foam applicator pad or 100% cotton terry towel

  • Apply a small amount to one section at a time using moderate pressure and circular motion

  • Wipe off residue with a microfibre towel

By Dual Action Polisher (DA):

  • Use a clean polishing pad and work in overlapping passes

  • Reapply as needed for stubborn defects

  • Wipe clean with a quality microfibre towel for a brilliant finish

Pro Tip:
Mask off half a panel and treat one side with Ultimate Compound to see the dramatic difference. Then finish the full panel and protect with Ultimate Polish and Ultimate Wax for long-lasting results.

Returns Policy

At SES Direct, our goal is to get your gear up and running as quickly as possible. If you've ordered the wrong part, we’re here to help and will do our best to sort things out for you.

Return Eligibility:

  • Our return policy is valid for 14 working days from the delivery date of your order. Unfortunately, if 14 working days have passed, we cannot offer a refund or exchange.
  • To be eligible for a return, the item must be unused, in the same condition as when you received it, and in its original packaging.
  • Please note we do not take liability for the accuracy of photos as we go by part numbers not photos. 

Return Process:

  • Before returning any item, please contact us to receive a return number, which must accompany your returned goods. This will be supplied via email.
  • Return shipping costs are the customer’s responsibility.
  • Electrical items are only credited at our discretion.
  • A restocking fee of 20% or $15.00 (whichever is greater) applies to common items we stock.
  • For ‘indent’ parts (special orders made just for you), a minimum 25% restocking fee applies.
  • Some specialist or ‘one-off’ items may not be eligible for return if they cannot be sent back to our suppliers.

Freight Credit:
We will only credit freight costs if we sent the incorrect part by mistake.
