Is Adapt going to replace Uno. I didn`t see Uno listed in the 2014 product catalog.

David--it seems that Adapt has more initial cut than UNO---How would you compare the two??

So does Adapt finish down even if you have to step up to a light cutting pad or would you still have to follow up with a polishing pad?` Or is this setup as a one step completely?`

For instance if I had to step up to an orange pad would a white pad be necessary?

thanks
Well I picked up some Adapt.` It`s way too cold to try it out right now.` I`ll post back when I get the chance to try it out.
It was correction time for my car so I got some Adapt and gave it a try on the roof of my car.` I used 7 drops to prime a white pad then 3-4 drops thereafter.` I made 4-5 passes, medium pressure, slow arm speed and the swirls were still there but they were lighter.` Hit it again and no difference. The paint on my car (dark green metallic) is especially problematic in respect to clearing up swirls and I`m kind of disappointed.` I think I may have expected too much.` Plus, I`m a relative novice so I must be doing something wrong.`
`
Also, I had a heck of a time getting off the excess off so maybe I`m re-introducing marring with the MF towel and IPA/water?
Any vids of the process you are taking?

Then I went over the whole thing with POXY! LOVE IT ALSO!!` I was afraid to put speed over poxy since it has cleaners in it, was not sure if it would remove the poxy. Or should I just use the red applicator pads (B&S) since they have no cut?
beamer, i pref to work with foam over mf but if you need the extra agressiveness of mf then go for it.
