DA Microfiber Correction Compound D30016, Car Compound for Use with a DA Polisher and Microfiber Cutting Disc, Removes Swirls, Scratches, Water Spots, and Oxidation, 16 Oz

To open this review - I'm a comfortable "DIY" person, but had almost no experience in finishing / buffing cars outside of your usual eblow grease and generic wash/wax products from the autostore. I knew I needed to significantly step up my knowledge and approach to take on a classic car that sat for ~30 years oxidizing, getting sun spotted, and accumulating dirt. After a lot of reading and considering possible solutions... I arrived at the following products: - Porter Cable 7424XP and an Astro 4607 5" PU backing pad - Meguiar’s D300 Correction Compound applied with Meguiar's DMC6 Cutting Disc - Meguiar’s D301 Finishing Wax applied with Meguiar's DMF6 Finishing Disc These selections were made as something that seemed like it would provide a good result, with limited risk of burning through what paint is there or otherwise "doing more harm than good". I had high hopes but low expectations. The end result has exceeded my hopes. There is an argument that a higher cut product may have been acceptable for the car in question - but I still worried about my capabilities in using it without doing more harm than good. At any rate, the Meguiar's products did an incredible job in removing oxidation, imperfections, and restoring shine. The pictures tell the story - but I also think the pictures fail to capture how dramatic the difference REALLY is in real life. With that said, the car itself was haphazardly repainted ~30 years ago. It has plenty of knicks and dings, some areas that were damaged beyond any product's ability to save, and other assorted imperfections. I never expected a show quality car, but just wanted something that would look "GOOD" driving and having fun for a few years until I'm able to consider a more extensive restoration. With that goal set in mind, I think this was the perfect selection of products. A couple notes on application process I took for this particular project: - 3 applications of D300. The first took up most of the oxidation. All of that grime and garbage made this application kind of "ugly" looking as working. The product did tend to dry on and stay behind with this application without several pauses to clean the pad. Not unexpected given the starting condition of the car. Second application was a much smoother process where you could really start see the finish smoothing out and color coming back. Third application was subtle improvements only - IE - what you want. It almost felt like you weren't doing anything at that point. - Wipe down with a microfiber cloth by hand to get up any extra residue - 1 application of D301, working over and over and over until the wax lines / cloudiness is almost completely gone. - Follow up circular hand polish with a dry microfiber cloth to remove any excess wax and even out the remainder of the application. Per instructions on the bottle - simply clean pads with an air compressor. I blew out both discs after each application while letting them spin on the tool. I'm actually surprised at how well they continue to "clean up" - again and again. Hope this info is useful in guiding someone to taking on a project - and hopefully - being as similarly pleased as I am!

Mequiar's quality in a product.

5 star shine excellent results. My new favorite.

Yes, Meguiar's Correcting Compound is a capable product developed specifically for use with microfiber pads. It's a 'one cut fits all paint correction' approach. Which is not a bad thing really. For most of us weekend warriors that works out fine. I bought the DA Microfiber Kit that comes with the Correction Compund and Finishing Wax along with the corresponding microfiber pads. I highly recommend buying the Meguiar's DA Microfiber Polish that is part of this line. It will take out any remaining swirls left by the compounding before you finish up with the wax step. Another tip when using the Correction Compound when starting out on particular vehicle with a fresh microfiber pad, place 4 or 5 dots of product evenly spaced around the outside circle of the pad (about a 1/2 inch from the edge) and a dot in the middle of the pad. Then condition the pad with a spray or two of Meg's Quick Detailer. I like to spread the polisher while off and dab it around the 2' x 2' area I'm focused on. This helps eliminate 'sling'. Then start the polisher on the lowest setting to evenly distribute the compound. Then increase the regular speed ( setting 4 or 5 assuming you're using the Meg DA polisher). I do 3-4 passes until counpoind turns clear. Then use a clean microfiber towel to wipe off remaining product. Flip towel again to buff. Yes, I would recommend to s friend.

Great product

I've always used Mcguire's products and I still stand behind them. There are so many competitors out there. When I buy Mcguire's I know what what I'm getting and I know it will work. The cost is very reasonable and you get enough product to use multiple times. I've never found any compound that cuts as good as this compound. It applies super easy and stays wet longer than anything else. If you do it correctly your paint will be clean, shiny with lasting quality. This is a product that you can do a before and after, or side by side with and see results.

Fantastic product! Removed all blemishes and light scratches exactly as advertised. I applied by hand it worked just fine. Highly recommend.

Had a mild scratch down the side of my car from a tree branch. I ended up using way more product than I probably needed to because I was afraid to mess up my wrap with the microfiber pad and drill. So, I started out with very light pressure and built up until I was pressing very firmly. Happy with the results. Scratch is gone!

One of the easiest products to work with using my DA machine. Make sure you wash the car then clay bar each panel to remove impurities. Well worth the purchase.

Très efficace mais cher tout de même... Dans la note il demande la douceur j'ai mis 3, il n'est pas fait pour être doux... Étrange cette question...

A great seller, very good quality of your products, brand new as always, and the appearance is great, and great value for the money. The delivery service was excellent 10/10. I will definitely be buying from you again.

If you have very important swirling and marring, it might take you several passes to get rid of them. I had a 14 y/o black pick up truck to bring back to life and I did it but it took between 2-3 passes to get rid of the marring and swirls.I was using the microfibers cutting discs from Meguiars. But the finish was spectacular... and I'm a very humble amateur... no experience at all. Just watched a couple of DIYs and that was it. If I was to do it again, I'd use a heavier cut to begin and finish with this one. Problem I faced was dust. Although I was making sure not to do more and 2-3 square feet at a time and using a pad cleaning brush, dusting was a problem. I had to rush as the product would dry quite fast. I was using a dual action polisher. The final result was perfect.
