HD UNO Total Auto Polish: Breakthrough In DA Polishing Technology

**garbud** · 09-22-2009, 05:28 PM

My polish is on the truck out for delivery and I can`t wait. Maybe I missed this somewhere but what pad would you recommend using a Flex 3401 with this polish while we wait for Flex specific pads?

Meguiar`s Soft Buff 2.0:

Meguiars Soft Buffâ„¢ 2.0 Cutting Pad, Meguiars W7207, 7 inch cutting pad

Meguiars Soft Buffâ„¢ 2.0 Foam Polishing Pad, Meguiars W9207, 7 inch foam polishing pad

Meguiars Soft Buff 2.0 Foam Finishing Pad, Meguiars W9207

The foams are PERFECT with HD UNO

The V9 burgundy foam makes UNO come alive on the Flex. You`ll think you`re working with a rotary.

Thanks David! I think you meant to say W8207 on the polishing pad. Great I have them all.

Well just had to drop in and say with a Flex 3401 and Meguiars W8207 polishing pad, the polish is impressive to say the least. Far more user friendly than M105. I just had time to do a small section on the hood of an `06 Sunset Red Pearl Metallic Nissan Murano I just bought that is in bad need of a good polish job. I used 4 dime sized dots on pad (way too much as was previously stated "use less, do more") and worked about 1/4 of the hood with Flex on 4 (should have used 6). Had a helluva time removing polish and had to use QD to help remove. I went back over the same area again using only the polish left on pad and polished on speed 6 until almost polished dry. WOW!!! It`s probably 97% perfect and definitely LSP ready. Can`t wait to do the rest. This is going to be fun!!!:woot2:

David, Can we use this with LC pads? Will we still have great results?

The CCS and other "complex" pads from LC are a bust with UNO.

UNO likes a pad thickness from .75" to 1". On PC/PCXP/G110/UDM, UNO likes a pad between 5.75" and 6". On the Flex 3401 and rotary tools, UNO likes a 7" pad. The only wool pad on the market I recommend is the Meguiar`s Solo Light Cutting Pad:

Meguiars Solo Wool Light Cutting Pad 7 inch

I use the 5.5" CCS pad with my polishes now, and they are about 1" in thickness. I have ordered the HD polishing pad with HD UNO.

I was kind of confused by you saying they are a bust but saying UNO likes a 1" thickness and a 5.75" pad. If the CCS pad is 1" thick and 5.5"...will it work?

So are the flat LC pads good to use?

Thanks,

Flat LC pads are fine.

The CCS face does not help UNO. UNO likes em flat! None of the fancy stuff.

I have been told that the HD polishing pad would go between the LC yellow and orange in cut.

The UNOPAD is slightly less aggressive than the the LC orange foam. The LC yellow is almost identical to the Meguiar`s burgundy... it`s quite a bit more aggressive than both of the orange formulas.

thanks...I can`t wait to try it. I just spent 7 hours with a friend polishing my Black GMC Denali. I am going to try UNO with my wife`s Grand AM.

I compared the uno pad and a 5.5" orange autogeek pad. Those that you can buy in a 6 pack. The uno pad clearly worked better. m2c

Ok David my package arrived today. Can`t wait to try it out. To bad my main test bed had to be done last week and was sold the day after . It was a prime canvas to test this out on. Stay tuned .
