Common Concerns Answered
Is this compound too aggressive for my gel coat?
While Meguiar's #67 One-Step Compound is designed for aggressive correction of severe damage, its effectiveness is precisely why it's lauded. Users report success by employing proper application techniques, either by hand or machine, to control the removal rate. For the absolute finest finish, a follow-up polish is recommended, but significant improvement is achieved in a single step.
Will I need to follow up with another product after using this compound?
The 'one-step' designation refers to its ability to correct severe damage and restore gloss simultaneously. While many users achieve a satisfactory high-gloss finish, for the absolute maximum aesthetic appeal and surface refinement, a subsequent application of a finer polish is often recommended by professional detailers.
How does this compound compare to a basic boat wax?
This compound is an aggressive cutting agent designed for paint correction, not protection. It physically removes imperfections like oxidation and scratches from the gel coat's surface. A boat wax, conversely, is a protective layer applied after compounding or polishing to enhance shine and shield the gel coat from environmental elements.
