Can this be used on new painted cars with clearcoat in the paint?

Yes you can, this may not be the longest lasting wax. But the application is easy to apply and is pretty easy to take off. Been using this for years.

what grit is it and does it work well on a boats gellcoat?

It is a fine grit and works well for removing oxidation safely and leaving a smooth surface to be waxed

Do i need to use a finishing wax product after this compound?

Yes: The compound is very aggressive. use a polish afterwards, then protection.

Great product

Works really good, brought the paint back to life on my BMW. I used to use Meguiars M105 but tried this and found it leaves a lot less swirl marks. Light dust vs other brands. Cuts well with little effort. Does require maybe a little more work depending how bad your finish is. But overall highly recommended

The best polish, period.

Literally the ONLY polish I’ll use on my custom nitrocellulose lacquer guitar finishes. Excellent cut, and emulsifies to a fine rouge. For use with right angle polisher, AND by hand. The best polish!

Meguiars Professional Compound

I'm hoping this does what it says. I have a 30 year old car that just needs a bit of help. When I bought it 2 years ago it was beautiful and now it needs a help so I bought a few products and hopefully it will do its job and my car will shine again.
