So you guys are using the Keramik as a one-step pretty much? Then topping it with Sealant or Wax Im guessing?
Im just trying to get used to this machine, after coming off a Torq 10FX.

It's all perspective. I see the Keramik + Yellow foam as a finisher. It always, always finishes spectacular for me. If it so happens to eliminate a good amount of defects - bonus.Quote:

If I were to do a true "one step" I would use the UHS system, and spray it with Rupes 808 sealant.
I have read some comments online of UHS suggesting that the Rupes gray pad should be used with it. Do you use gray or yellow when you do your one step with UHS?Quote:

When the UHS system is brought up, it refers to the UHS polishing compound + the gray UHS pads.
It is a true one step system and works as advertised.
Their is a slight learning curve with the UHS gray pads when using them for the first time.

Thanks for the advice. Can you elaborate on the learning curve?Quote:

Place about 4-6 drops of product onto the pad. Then run the machine at a very low speed setting on a flat panel for about 20-30 secs to create friction to heat up and soften the pad.
Next, load of the pad with two small pea size drops of product and proceed with your polishing procedure.

You may already had known this. But either way, the pads are pretty stiff at the beginning. Soften them up to just prevent product sling.

Thanks. That's the process I've been following for priming the Rupes pads. Seems to work well!Quote:
