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:

- Event will be on a weekend TBD

- 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 you`d like to be part of this test, please tell us why you think you should be selected. Please don`t PM me about it.

If you`re one of the three selected, I`ll see to it that you get a ride in Tunch`s new Ferrari 612 Scaglietti.

Let the fun begin!

What does it mean to beat a product? Price, dusting, smell, the pretty label on the bottle?

I am guessing UNO is targeted toward System one and #86 Solo type products.

I`d like to attend. You guys can "beat" up on each other. I`ll be detailing his Ferrari.

The contest is about final results for a given process. All paint polishing processes have steps. 3D wants to put it`s single liquid process against the conventional wisdom of 2-3 liquids for cut, polish and finish.

Yes, both System One and Meguiar`s Solo offer a single liquid system. They are welcome to participate in the show down.

Awesome. Thanks for the reply.

I`d love to attend the event even if nothing else but as an observer.

I reside near Los Angeles.

It seems like the hype has died out about the challenge. I was wondering if there`s any word on when to expect the chosen contestants to be picked.

**Marie@3D** · 12-01-2009, 03:59 PM
