Not too many, since I worked 9-5 every day but here are a few off of my IPhone.



Once Tunch picked me up at the airport, our first stop was one of his 3D stores. (I felt like I was in a candy store!!!)

Here is a very talented detailer: Francisco, who does the testing for 3D. Also, one of the funniest guys I have ever met.



Francisco did a lot of the demonstrations during the 4 days while I explained the product. When he was tired of sanding, cutting and polishing, I took over.

Finally, the new HD UNO!!! From 1200 sanding scratches to flawless finish. Try it at 3000rpm and see leveling paint like nothing else!

Looks like fun times. I am mad that I was not able to make it this year. On the HD Uno...I find it rather hard to believe. I still have my bottle of Uno that is worth nothing more than a paper weight. Poxy was awesome...Uno...not so much.

I find it hard to believe that for you UNO would be useless. I`d say it is as much a user error as those who can`t use 105 because it gumms up just to give you an example. At a minimum, UNO shines as a polish. For you to say that it is worthless, I would look into improving your skills.



I mean here is a 50/50 picture that was done in front of many people over and over again, for 4 days. This final version was new to all of us. As a matter of fact, we were able to go from the black wool to red. Also from black wool to orange and the finish was perfect. Talk about a versatile product.



We had a good time watching body shop guys doubting us and then asking for a sample because they couldn`t believe that there was a product out there that worked like UNO. Trust me, many did their own tests, including sanding with 1200 grit paper.



PS: hopefully one of the 3D guys took a video of UNO in action.

Erik - yes, it is a Vegas Shop.



Barry - I enjoyed our walk back to the hotel that night. Hopefully we will meet again soon.



PS: did you get my e mail?

Alright, let me rephrase. The bottle I have is worthless. I can promise you its not user error. I even talked with Barry Theal after a few times of using it to see if there was something wrong I was doing and every bit of advice he gave me I either had tried already or tried and did not yield different results. I have even had another capable detailer try it out and he ended with the exact same results as me. I might have gotten a defective bottle, but after the issues I went through with, I would not hold faith in the next one. Poxy is a great product, but my experience thus far with Uno, have been less than ideal.

I did use one bottle that was worthless. God knows what was in it.



I can promise you, a normal bottle of UNO will make you shake your head.
