I've looked around the forum and found a few reviews on the Griots Complete Compound-- but not very many. Any of you have any thoughts you could share about the product?

82% of the reviews on amazon are 5 stars. Looks to be good to remove light scratches and most swirls according to most the comments on the page. Pretty inexpensive too.

Way to go AG!!! :dblthumb2:

Are you looking to buy complete compound? Or your asking because you have it?

I have a bottle that's been sitting unopened on my shelf for months. I have other stuff, too. Just wondering if it's worth my time.

Give it a go, no harm in trying it since you got it just sitting.

I have both the Griots Complete Compound and also the Griots Boss Correcting Cream. They both finish down real nice but to me the Boss Correcting Cream has a bit more cut.

I have it and have used probably half a bottles worth over a number of corrections. I got it to replace the old Machine Polish 2&3's. In comparison to those, it's much nicer to work with. Easier wipe off, no dusting. Corrects like the #2, finishes like the #3.

Unfortunately I don't have experience with the other more frequently used polishes on here, so I can't compare it to any Meg's/Menzerna/etc polishes.

I can say I've been happy with the results from it. I can't remember where I had put these up before, but this was a junkyard bumper I cleaned up for an A4.
Before: 50208
After Complete Compound w/ Fast Finishing Pad: 50209
Followed by One Step Sealant on Orange Foam Pad: 50210

Wasn't perfect, but it was just a quick clean up so it matched the rest of the car. I've got some of the BOSS creams to try now, so I'm excited to see the difference. Complete Compound will still have a spot in the arsenal as a hand polish for tight areas since it sounds like the BOSS creams are more machine focused.

It's good stuff, especially at only $12 a bottle.

It's going to get the job done, it's easy to work and use, and you will get pleasing results.

It's great for very light scratches and scuffs because it finishes down nice and there's very little to wipe off. However, it doesn't have anywhere near the cut UC has.
