    Meguiar's ultimate compound

    Because it is clear coat safe does that mean it doesn't take a layer off the clear coat and if that's true how is that a compound then

    It does. It abrades the paint to level the surface.

    No.... what it means is that it is safe to use on cars that are painted with a clear coat, and as far as I know, with this product in particular it is also safe to use on non-cleared cars (single stage) - hence the pic on the front of the bottle.

    I would imagine that you get certain compounds designed for single stage paints that are NOT safe to use on clear coat painbt systems.

    Ya know, that is a good question. Just what does "clear coat safe' mean?

    Hopefully Mike P or Mike Stoops will chime in.

    To me:
    It means that some particular car-care products' marketing department mongrels...OOOPS!!!...
    I meant: moguls...have done their job exceedingly well.

    There is no magic when it comes to paint correction. You level it by either filling it or cutting away.
