Need help..

It will be my first prep of the car coming from the dealer.. Didn't let them wash or do any detailing.. But have minimal funds for a pro detailer for now.. Would it be okay to use Meguiars Ultimate Compound in detailing a white frs?

If the dealer didn't wash/detail the car, does it even need compounding? What sort of defects/swirls/marring are you seeing? Pics?

If you just want to punch up the gloss a bit Ultimate Polish might be all you need, if even that.

Might be light swirls. Just want to be ready when I get the car. It's waiting fOr me to be picked up at dealer so just preparing products I'll be using for the prep.
