    Difference in cut for new Rupes Polishes

    Hi folks, I think i saw the answer to this somewhere but cannot find it anymore. Anyone know the difference in cut between these 3 ?

    Uno Pure, Da Fine, Uno Protect

    Thanks

    Re: Difference in cut for new Rupes Polishes

    My understanding is Uno Pure is a finishing or jeweling polish and Uno Protect is similar but also with a sealant. DA Fine is a fine compound that could also be the final polishing step though Uno Pure would give just a bit more finishing gloss. That is what I found based on my research of the products and trying to find reviews of the newest DA products. Really seems very similar to their previous products except the green pad was replaced by the blue coarse pad and the pads are slightly thinner.

    Dont beat me up folks if this is a stupid question, but I have another question. Say I stuck with Uno Protect, and used a yellow pad with it, would using the white pad with it refine it more after? If so would I do the whole car with the yellow, let it cure and wipe off and then refine with the white pad and Uno Protect after ? or will there be no worthwhile difference ?

    Probably but not enough to warrant buffing out your car a second time. Is this show car? Or your daily driver? Your time but if it were me, I would

    A: Do a Test Spot - see which pad with UNO Protect gave bet results - (probably the yellow pad but never hurts to test)

    B: Once I dialed-in my pad/product combo I would do a GREAT job of buffing the car out ONCE.

    I think you'll be good to just go around the car once.

    Also, we did a LIVE Detailing Class with Todd Helme from RUPES ON the new DA system yesterday.

    TONS of info about the pads and products in this video.

    Its a daily driver Mike, but it never gets driven much, It just sits in the garage most of the time

    I'll go back and watch Mike's video later. Always looking to learn more, after all.

    Here's a thread I made based on another Rupes video. Scroll down the the slide, "Simply Better" in big green letters to get a chart as to how the Rupes polishes stack up.
