Wink HD UNO Reveiw with wetsanding

OK guys tonight I was sitting at my table and a knock on the door came. It was a package filled with HD UNO and a Orange foam pad. Here is what the products look like.



Now I'm gonna be extreamly honest here, If you know me you know I'm very cutthroat and to the point. No BS here. Truthfully, I'm a detailer who is stuck in his ways. although I do enjoy trying new products. I very rarly switch because of what I do works for me. Now when I first seen this stuff introduced. I'll admit I was a little biasee. I mean come on One polish to replace my whole arsenal. Lets get real. So I was eager to put this stuff to the challenge. There is only one way with me! As most of you know I love to sand. Now onto some pictures.

I laided a small section out on this vehicle and masked up!



Next I grabbed a sheet of Mequiars unigrit 2000 grit and a sanding block.



I scuffed up the left side fast and aggressive. I was trying to produce some tracers. ( NOT RECOMMENDED) Take notice you will see some heavier sanded spots where the low points are in the sanding. For those of unsure about sanding the higher points are the shiny dots not fully sanded in the orange peel. Here are two pictures the first shot shows both sides,The second shot shows the sanded side under the sun gun.





Here is a shot of the write side under sun gun. Gotta love swirls.



One thing I really thought was nice was that they sent you a phamplet with al there products and instructions in the handbook.



Inside close up page.



I Prime the orange pad with a mist of water then I place 4 small pea size dots on the pad at clock positions 12,3,6,9. I spread the product at speed 2 and cranked it up to speed 6 on the pc and applied pressure and after 2 passes I was able to completly remove a sanding scratches and finish down LSP ready.
I was simply blown away. Here is a camera flash of the left side and then one taken on the right side. Now notice the perfect flash. there is no way of hiding anything under the flash.



See the difference as compared to the untouched side.



Take notice of the swirls and holograms. Nw you can see for yourself what HD Uno can do with one step.

I removed the tape and here you can see the difference.



Here is a reflection shot of just HD UNO on the panel. Keep in mind this is two passes with a orange foam pad and HD UNO. I did a IPA wipe down then sprayed with water and dried. There was no polishing or waxing.



My final thoughts are this stuff will be pushing the limits on some serious detail products out there. Myself I use a lot of ardex products. Although I have tried many over the years. Some impressed me and some haven't . I can see this stuff making an impact on the market. It was really easy to clean up. No mess. It comes in a great container and Overall this is a very nice product with a lot of versatility. The orange pad is gonna be a must. Never seen anything like it. I wanna try it on rotory. From a bull headed cut throat detailer who dosen't change my ways, I will be adding this to my arsenal. This a a very highly recommended product from me for the weekend detailer to the professional.
David thank you for the chance to try it. My wife also thanks you for burning more of a hole in my business bank account. I will defintly adding this stuff real soon to my shelf of goodies. Hope you enjoyed the reveiw.

Barry

Re: HD UNO Reveiw with wetsanding

wow, that is pretty impressive. What is the working time with this stuff. I understand it is non-diminishing so you work it till you get rid of the imperfections so after your initial pad priming and applying of the dots did you have to go back and add more?

No I did not add more product. On my second pass I misted the pad with water. A very light mist and spread any remaining product in my pad on speed 3 then worked it some more. This stuff is a great product. That little section took all but a minute per pass to do. Now keep in mind it was sanded and remove with a pc. I wanted to push the product to the limits

Re: HD UNO Reveiw with wetsanding

thanks for the review! on the velcro side of the pad, is the black portion thick and uniformed to absorb even pressure all the way around the pad (like the pads in the link)?

Re: HD UNO Reveiw with wetsanding

Yea it is what they call an interface pad. Consider it like a a cushion in between the backing plate and pad. if that makes sense lol.

Re: HD UNO Reveiw with wetsanding

Barry,

Very nice photos and write up. Thank you!

I should also mention that we are in the process of creating a new wool "UNO" pad for pro use. Meguiar's did a good job locking up the yarn in their Solo pads, so we're having a new yarn made. Stay tuned.


Al,

The LC pads from CMA have a much softer foam in the middle. The HD pads have a very stiff foam that has a unique characteristic when the PUR glue is put to it.

Re: HD UNO Reveiw with wetsanding

Did you try it on the other side to remove the spider swirls? I find those harder to remove than anything else.

Re: HD UNO Reveiw with wetsanding

Scott,

Are you still a die-hard Cyclo user?

I'm thinking about cutting a sheet of the HD pad material in 4" for cyclo to see how it works.
