one week old FRESH black PPG paint - safe to use Meg's UC and UP?
I just got my black car from the body shop. Perfect flat sanded/buffed paint, but swirls and marring from the crappy rotary buffing job the shop did.
Is it too soon to use Meguiars Ultimate Compound and/or Ultimate Polish? I got some bugs on the way home from the shop and used Ultimate QD to get them off. Is this also safe to use, or not?

I believe that both are body shop safe there fore they can be used on fresh paint. I would first start out with UP and see if that fixes your holograms (I'm assuming thats what the body shop did to your paint).

wash it with nothing but a shampoo, (no wash and wax, no shampoo+conditioner), wait 1 month before you wax or seal it or correct it, and use extreme care when polishing it, i would use up or 205 on a white pad and see where that gets you before using compound or a cutting pad, do you have a da or are you working by hand?

the only body shop safe stuff i would suggest is farecla (not sold on ag) or 3m's newer chemical cut compounds and polishes (also not sold here),

By your forum nickname I'll guess a 1966 Mustang?
What do you have for tools to remove the swirls? Also what pads?

Mike I was going form a list that Michael Stoops posted
On the list here he has that Ultimate compound is listed as safe unless I'm and reading wrong
Body Shop Safe or Not?
Thoughts?

anything with fillers is not body shop safe regardless of what the manufacturer says.

Yeah, isn't there a difference between being "body shop safe" and "new paint safe"? Being body shop safe means that it has not silicones to cause fisheyes if a to-be-painted surface gets contaminated with the product.
New paint safe is something that won't seal the surface trapping residual solvents.
