Uno Working Times

[broncoupe]

In a lot of threads i read a great deal is made of how long uno will carry on working on the pad

So my question is how do you know when enough is enough usually a product goes clear or looks like its drying



Also a more general question if the air temp is warm therefore the cars body is warm what is the correct procedure. Because i find product is generally drying out almost instantly as you move the orbital

Its like you need to work a very small area and how someone with you to buff off.

I work alone, but as i have said before i dont experiance any problems when working exclusivley by hand application and removal.

Hi Mike - Almost all polishing products are recommended to be used out of the sun. The panel should be cool. Just last week I was polishing the front of my wife`s car that was driven for a good hour prior and while UNO didn`t come off easy if I worked it for awhile it still didn`t dust. Believe me the hood was pretty warm :)



Were you using a cutting pad?



Uno can be worked for a long time, but of course it will depend on the type of pad you are using and the amount of UNO. 2 drops on a polishing pad is more than enough for a 2x2 area. With cutting pads - may require more, depending on your speed.

Using a Das pro6 originally used a 3M yellow pad now using a 3M green speed setting 3 or 4 out of 6

When i use the yellow pad it doesnt seem to cut that much the way you guys talk pretty much anything is possible with Uno and an orbital

One thing i struggle with is when to add more to the pad.

In the past i have been applying a paint sealant and i have always found this easy, i have even be checked by the sealant manufacturer who loves my work

So you can see how hard i find this as I REALLY am struggling to get the results i should, i seem to crap out on paint correction and every time i resort to doing it by hand

I`m not familiar with your polisher but if it`s like a PC, speed 3/4 is too slow. Take it to 5 or 6 and with an aggressive pad. Is the 3M yellow a heavy cutting pad like LC yellow?

[broncoupe]

Machine is quite similar to the porter. yellow pad is soft like a polishing pad green is hard and aggressive.

Should you ever mist water with uno or will it just splatter

[Thomas Dekany]

speed 3 or 4 is for applying waxes. As Paul says, use speed 6 and see what happens with a cutting pad.

[broncoupe]

I will give it a try

thanks

With UNO use a pad a bit more aggressive than you would with a normal polish.

That DA is strikingly similar to the Griot`s model...

It`s called private labelling. ;)
