Didn`t notice that, but your right. We also had the Lake County Pads on hand, but guess we didn`t use them in the video. Same results regardless of the pad.

Good thing I was not the one doing the polishing.

I guess the key is to apply not 3 dots but to get a ring of product just like using Menzerna or over the Meguiars polishes.

Honestly, not sure what the proper way is, but it does work well that way. Sling is not an issue with UNO, even via rotary.

Finally got the chance to try out the UNO this past weekend. It actually did a good job and was pleasantly suprised. Did the same job as the 105 and 205 combined.

The suggestions to go over the same section at low speed and a finishing pad definately helped as it came out much easier.

**Tunch** · 11-09-2010, 01:15 AM

I agree. Use slow speed with finishing pad and comes right off.

Is there a speed other than 6? Lol... I`m guilty of always having the RO at top speed unless waxing, sometimes I turn it down to 5. I love the GG6, its so much more powerful than my original PC that i have retired the PC to 4" duty only.

Griots Garage`s PC.

Thanks very much

If you apply as much product as in Yakky`s video, UNO doesn`t cut. 3D will also tell you that.

Looks like this challenge might be able to tie in with this event:

I`ll take the bait...

Here is the original premise of the "shootout":

It came to 3D`s attention today that a rumor was started on another forum about the new HD UNO car polish. The rumor basically stated that HD UNO caused holograms and was only a mediocre product.

As a result, Tunch, the owner of 3D, asked me to "drop the gauntlet" and invite three challengers to 3D in Santa Clarita, CA, all expenses paid. In other words, bring the polishes you think can`t be beat, and use them side-by-side with HD UNO. The event will be video taped, and the results -- good or bad -- will be published on YouTube in HD.

Here`s the catch:

- You may not be affiliated with the products you are putting against HD UNO

- The winning product will be determined by Autopia member votes from the videos

If I recall the part about product affiliation was removed.

Isn`t it understood already that the stuff works pretty good?

It has lots of fans, right? And it`s selling like crazy I assume. :dance

You and Barry are pretty well schooled with this stuff and are teaching classes at the manufacturers plant, so sounds like it`s already arrived and is in solid form.

I doubt you would tout it if it didn`t work! :twitch:

No need to take a nice celebration and turn it into a battle.

Or maybe this would be entertainment for 3D, akin to a current version of the Romans/lions/Gladiators gig.

I don`t care to read through 20 pages of posts since the original challenge was issued , but did anyone actually get sent out to Cali to do challenge? I mean was airfare, hotel, food, and car provided completely for free too?
