I couldn`t decide if this should be click and brag or review so I took the easy route and just want to say

Wow

Finally figured out how to work UHS properly (thanks to I believe the Guz showing me a link to a tip from Todd)

Anyways, check this out

I`d say Rupes is spot on with this combo.

Nano with larger blue pad + uhs near tje tape line (haven`t bit bullet on larger nano uhs pads yet-i do have the smallest ones though)

Duetto + UHS combo

Speed 5 both tools


Two single overlapping passes
Reapplied just 1 drop in between cleaning and the 2nd pass.

There are a few rids here and there but for the time spent and gloss left, I am impressed. I had been using Adapt + UHS because of apparent user error with the UHS polish.

Now I have the rest of the cars paint. :)

Then panel wipe and coat. Then there`s still the vinyl situation

Fun night ahead.

Redbull, Rupes and Pandora. Probably some frozen food as well, gross. Steak dinner tomorrow though, lol.

Thanks for viewing.

Awesome. Glad that link helped out.

I`m a big fan of the UHS pad and polish. It corrects really well and finishes really well. I`ve done two cars with the UHS. One was a one step followed by a sealant. On the other car I followed up with Rupes white polish on a white pad to add more gloss prior to coating it.

I`ve had success with it on hard paint and medium paint. I have yet to try to on something softer to see how it performs. But on a 15 Mark II it`s a killer combo.

I usually test spot with the UHS combo if I am using the Rupes polishes.

Both size pads on the nano are great. I picked them up.

One tip for when you clean them is to wash them with warm water. They compress with cold water. The warm water allows them to be more pliable.

Glad you liked the UHS system. I like to use it on "finicky" paints or paints that don`t need major correction but are above moderate correction. I takes a little getting used to the consistency of the pad, but after the warm up they work great.

Awesome results Brandt. I have been wanting the UHS pads and polish since they were released, but just haven`t jumped on them. Probably needs to be my next purchase.
