It clears superficial scratches no problem and leaves a beautiful showroom finish after a clean! A two in one in my book. Brilliant! Review: Great Results by Hand – Restored Colour and Shine! - Great Results by Hand – Restored Colour and Shine! Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5) I used Meguiar’s G17216EU Ultimate Compound by hand on my VW Golf Mk7.5, and I’m genuinely impressed with the results. The paint had some light swirling, oxidation, and a couple of marks that were bothering me – this product really helped bring back clarity and depth to the finish. Application was straightforward, though you do need to work it in properly with consistent pressure. It’s a bit of a workout by hand, but definitely worth it. I found it best to do small sections at a time and wipe off before it fully dries, otherwise removal can be a bit tricky. If it does dry up, adding a little fresh product over the area helps it come off easier. What stood out the most is how much richer and glossier the paint looked afterwards. It even reduced the visibility of a deeper scratch more than I expected. I’d imagine results with a dual-action polisher would be even better, but for hand use – it’s seriously impressive. Highly recommended if you want to restore your paint’s clarity without jumping straight to more aggressive options ## Features - Contains reaction mass of: 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one [EC no. 247-500- 7]and 2-methyl-2H-isothiazol-3-one [EC no. 220-239-6] (3:1).

I’m under no illusion that it will remove it, just don’t want it to be so visible** A: It may help but it depends on how badly the paintwork has been cut. The deeper the scratch, the less likely it is that it will be covered up. **Q: How long do the effects last?** A: Before we used this, we had realised just how many swirls were on our bullet grey Jag X Type. When the sun shone , even after being waxed, our car just ‘Glared’ brightly. We used this, then their polish, then their wax. Now it’s like glass. In regards to your question, we use it yearly. We polisher it 6 monthly and wax it 3 monthly. Go for it! **Q: Will this work on dvds?** A: DVD,s?? It takes a small amount of the paint surface off so guess it would damage a dvd surface. I used Duraglit on a cd once to remove scratches, that came out OK as its used for cleaning silver etc so not very abrasive. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant! *by L***C on 5 April 2026* This product is an absolute dream!
