    The product will be sold in conjunction with the new PC 7424 XP. Works as designed with:



    - Original UDM

    - New Griot`s Polisher

    - Meguiar`s G110

    - Porter Cable 7424 XP

    - FLEX 3401


    I have the UDM and would love to try it.

    I am a body shop and strictly work on fresh paint. I`ve tried SystemOne

    a few years ago. It`s a decent middle polish but certainly not enough

    to remove 1500 efficiently nor finish down very well. The UNO is making

    similar claims. Another one shot wonder? I`m very skeptical. I must try it.

    Gotta help stimulate the economy so i`ll buy it when available.

    Imagine how this product could be like a nuclear bomb in the body shop industry !!! Anyone thinking about joining the HDCC Sales Team better consider all the body shop market share that`s ripe for the pickings if this product works as claimed....Bye Bye 3M :wavey

    This product is in a number of So. Cal. body shops. They are very slow to move in the single liquid direction. Simply don`t believe it works.



    We did a test in several shops giving them UNO with no color as the cutting compound and UNO with light gray color as the polish. They loved it.



    This product went through another round of testing this week in a body shop to verify the recent change in abrasives. According to the technician, it worked perfectly on single day old paint with wool to cut and foam to polish.



    For most detailers and enthusiasts, there will never be a need to use wool with this polish.



    I`m okay with anyone being skeptical. I have worked with it myself for hours to identify the best pad material for the enthusiast/detailer market. I have tried the combination on a range of paint types and conditions. To date, I have not found anything else that cuts as well (without scouring), and finishes to near perfection in 80% of the cases (single pad, single polish).



    Now, I`m not foolish enough to stand up and say "works in every circumstance and on every type of paint", because there are too many variables. What I will say is that this is the easiest and most versatile system I have ever used.



    I want the 10 testers who get it to smack it around and put it to the test as I have.

    Most shops finish sand with 1500 and attempt buff with 3M products.

    This is pretty much SOP and, as we all know, the results are usually

    poor. This particular area is where shops can lose a lot. And i have

    in the past... Part of the reason why i joined this forum was to become

    more efficient at this final stage. And i have.



    In my mind, i want the UNO to cut as good as M105 and finish down like

    Ultrafina or FPII. It`s asking a lot, i know.



    According to the technician, it worked perfectly on single day old paint with wool to cut and foam to polish.


    That`s my plan too. On both hard and soft clears.

    Since neither SystemOne nor Norton Liquid Ice is popular in this industry.

    The UNO will have to be considerably better - or better marketed. If it is

    really good, then 3M might just buy HDCC. Think Meguiars.

    Yeah, just like that. It would definitely be my go-to for sure.

    I can tell you that all of the single liquid systems mentioned were used as benchmarks and UNO performs to the level specified. The specific difference is the shape and hardness of the abrasives being used.

    To all HD UNO testers, there is going to be a couple day delay getting the samples out. HD UNO itself is available, but we had a 5 day delay in receiving the pads and applicators from our new supplier.



    If you are one of the testers and have not PMed me your mailing address. Please do so.



    Make the subject line: HD UNO Tester Address



    Thanks!
