Thank you!

[@ds-il7ik]

They rarely post videos anymore though

[@Esotericdetail]

@@ds-il7ik That's because we were in development of our new online detailing academy that took up all of our production time. We have that past us now and are getting back into producing more KZbin content!

Thank you Lewis!

You guys are great. I found your channel last year as well as your online store. I’m not a professional, just someone that enjoys working on and cleaning my cars. Just this week 2/17/2023, I called to ask a question about a car I was doing a paint correction on. I called the number on your website and a gentleman picked up and answered my question. I wish I could remember his name. I appreciate the fact that you guys take care of people like me that don’t do it professionally. This is not the first time y’all have assisted me. That’s why Esoteric is my go to source for products and tools. Keep up the great customer service. It is very much appreciated.

[@Esotericdetail]

Thanks for the feedback David, as well as the business.

[@BMXFOO]

I’ve learned so much from your videos over the years. This channel has helped me so much in my career and I couldn’t thank you enough!

[@Esotericdetail]

Thank you kindly, and glad to hear that the channel has been so helpful.

[@Bugoffkc]

Definitely one of the best channels around. Learned much from you Todd thank you!

[@Esotericdetail]

Thank you!

[@ronayotte3571]

Rupes Uno Advanced my go to for an AIO. I use GTechniq C2V3 sprayed on a microfiber to remove it and use another towel to finish up. It leaves the surface nice and slick.

[@davecarlson6275]

I always love your videos; everything is clearly explained without going overboard.

[@Esotericdetail]

Thank you!

[@andrewmcglashan5041]

Great content and instruction as usual. This product has helped my business no end. More options for my customers, and reduced process times. Cheers.

[@detailmax]

Hello Todd, Great video as always. To everyone thinking of taking the online training from Esoteric DO IT!! Just finished the paint correction and ceramic coating courses and found it to be very informative. Great for anyone that wishes to step up their skills. Learn from the people who know:) Many Thanks Todd!

[@Esotericdetail]

It's more effective when that messaging comes from you instead of me, so thank you for that, and glad you enjoyed the online training! I'm sure you were able to see that it goes into much greater details than KZbin!

[@i2cheapbum]

Best channel out there! So much information. Unbelievable

[@alfieh93]

Best channel for high quality knowledge! Just purchased a rupes duetto duluxe kit going to get into polishing and learning off you're videos

[@lead-dog]

Looking at a few of the previously posted comments I really don't have anything totally original to say. But thanks Todd. Great video and you answered all my questions. And I actually had a few. I love Uno Protect but thanks for so clearly explaining the differences between the two products. Very thorough. Thanks.

[@Esotericdetail]

Glad I answered your questions in advance!

[@ZieXimeme]

Great video as usual! How many pads to apply that to a medium sized vehicle? KUDOS for all of your shared content and keep up the good work! 😁

[@prjab7339]

This stuff is GREAT! Just used it this past weekend color sanded vehicle wool pad and rupees d-a fine and finished it with the uno advanced with white pad! AMAZING RESULTS, then coated!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@sebster6031]

Bro.. if your going to ceramic coat.. definitely NOT finish with this product.

[@VictorHernandez-nt3tw]

You coated over this? 😂

[@rickyrice7376]

Great Video Todd. I just got a bottle of this. I’m still waiting for it.

[@drock852]

Great video and channel! Quick question, what's the best pad to use if you want to freshen and renew a ceramic coated car that has light scratches? Also what would the prep be like?

[@j.p.marion5377]

Can I use this on glass, and if it gets on the rubber weatherstripping and/or plastic trim, is that okay? Thanks for the great video!

[@jonschmunk7719]

Outstanding video Todd. Always look forward to your videos

[@Esotericdetail]

Thank you!

[@johnmagno3979]

Thanks for the information! I normally apply my si02 coating after a polish. Is that appropriate to do with the Uno Advanced or is it the final step in the coating process?

[@Esotericdetail]

This is for somebody who wants a really quick polish, with adding some protection at the same time. If you're working with actual coatings, then you'd be looking for a pure polish and not one that includes protection.

[@troywhitton7658]

Great tutorial video! Very well explained

[@Esotericdetail]

Thanks, and glad you enjoyed it!

[@jtm1979]

This is great stuff! I wonder if pad washer(moistured pad) is bad for this?

[@andrewmcglashan5041]

Great advice and content as usual👍

[@Esotericdetail]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

[@paul-st1es]

Great video as usual, i was wondering what sort of beading this gives, I’ve been using can coat evo and love the beading that gives

[@Esotericdetail]

Good, but you're not going to compete with Can Coat in that category!

[@eddiesautodetail3172]

What would you use as a topper or would you use a topper?

[@Esotericdetail]

No need to...that's why it's an AIO.

[@simarkahlon6261]

No need to compound before? And would it be a good add on to a decontamination wash?

[@michaeljohnston8498]

Thank you for all your guidance, it is certainly appreciated. At your recommendation, I recently purchased Sonax Perfect Finish. It is excellent. I follow it with either Swissvax (hard to find these days) or P21S. Would something like a Polishangel product work as a 'refresher' for the Rupes after a few washes, or is it even needed? Again, thank you for helping an old guy keep his car looking good.

[@Esotericdetail]

Thank you Michael, and glad to hear that our channel has been beneficial for you. Waxes break down pretty quickly, so you might want to use something to help care for it. I really like the Polishangel Rapidwaxx for that type of application. www.esotericcarcare.com/polishangel-rapidwaxx/

[@robertdickson91]

Todd, think I know the answer but, concerning the microfiber towels used to remove the product, they can be reused by washing, correct? They don't need to be discarded like when doing a ceramic application?

[@Esotericdetail]

Correct...no need to throw away towels like you do with a traditional coating.

[@robertdickson91]

@@Esotericdetail Perfect, thanks.

[@Schwabz33]

Hey Todd, hope all is well. I heard that you guys are moving away from Jescar/ Sonax combo and using the Rupes products? I need to start buying products for my spring detail on my red BMW M4

[@Esotericdetail]

No, that is not the case. The Rupes polishes are very good, but we still have an affinity for the Jescar / Perfect Finish combo for multi-stage processes.

[@ferminmalayang5499]

Awesome. Learning a lot

[@MBACCR]

Hey there Esoteric, thanks for all these details - much appreciated. I've just received a bottle of this and can't wait to use it. How does it go with a paste wax afterwards? Or is nothing needed?

[@Esotericdetail]

The whole point of an AIO is not having to use anything else afterwards. Thanks!

[@joelpasserell4525]

Hi Todd, great video as always. I am applying Rupes advanced on my brother's car right now because it's gonna be raining today, and it'll be in my garage for the 4 hours to cure. Is this ceramic based? Can you give a few choices that would be compatible for using as a topper over the 12 months, that might make it last a little bit longer?

[@Esotericdetail]

You'd ultimately need to test for compatibility, but products like Gyeon Ceramic Detailer, Kamikaze QD, or even PA Cosmic Spritz would be good candidates. Thanks.

[@benjaminsewell4015]

Do you use more pressure or the same as if your doing a correction? Thank you, Todd!

[@Esotericdetail]

Less pressure...

[@steventuypens2779]

Any update on durability when the car is always outside in the elements ?

[@ferminmalayang5499]

Do you still do an ipa wipe after?

Se puede pasar a mano? Saludos!

[@1stfrompuertorico568]

First!!! Great to learn about it!

[@andyg7210]

New Subscriber here in the UK, great channel! How many pads are needed for a mid sized sedan and would you recommend cleaning a pad after every couple of panels? Or is this unnecessary?

[@Esotericdetail]

Thanks for the sub! The more correction you're looking for, the more often you want to swap out to fresh pads. For the most part though, I'd recommend swapping out to fresh ones after every other panel or so.

[@YasserAlaska]

Hi Todd Great video as usual I just got a bottle and noticed that it is less viscous than other uno polishes Did you notice that too or did i get a bad bottle Thanks

[@Esotericdetail]

Yes, it is more liquid than their other polishes. All good.

[@doc-oe1bq]

What would be a good topper after completing this process?

[@Esotericdetail]

Nothing. The benefit of using an AIO is that you don't have any extra processes involved.

[@LKN4WAR]

If i recall they mention the yellow wool pad for more cut out of this AIO, how would that compare with this product vs using a Euro Fiber pad? Similar levels of cut? Thanks for video looks like a nice AIO.

[@Esotericdetail]

We do not use those pads, so can't make a comparison. You could also give it a try with the Rupes DA Ultrafine MF pad. www.esotericcarcare.com/rupes-da-ultrafine-microfiber-pad/

[@parreirasmauro]

Can I use something like wet coat to top this while I do my maintenance wash’s ?

[@Esotericdetail]

From time to time you could...

[@jaimcr]

Can you use it as a primer polish?

[@vulcan236]

hello Todd, when you say coating based protection, what type is it? ceramic or something else?

[@Esotericdetail]

My guess is an SiO2 based product, but in the end, the exact chemistry isn't really important.

[@arthurlbn]

How to renew it ? How to strip it of the paint for reaplication

[@jjjjjjjjjjjhjjjjjhjj]

Can I use a microfiber finishing disc with this product? Also for a car with coating on it if it’s been a while does it need to be clayed first or just apply this by machine ?

[@Theseones]

Is a panel prep nessessary? Won't the ceramic coatings solvents remove the last bit of polish residue, that might be left on the surface?

[@Esotericdetail]

Sorry, not following your question. Is your question related to before, or after using this?

[@jimmyccee1083]

Wonder which is best..old or new formula.

[@Esotericdetail]

Depends on how you define "best". If it's protection, then the new Advanced is the better of the two.

[@YamahaATV1999]

@@Esotericdetail And for correction? Would you recommend UNO Protect or the new Advanced?

[@Esotericdetail]

@@YamahaATV1999 About the same.

[@Haramer]

@ESOTERIC what are your thoughts on using this as an AIO and then applying a ceramic coating over this after buffing it off? Is that going to inhibit a full on multi year ceramic coating vs using a fine polish like sonax perfect finish -> ceramic coating?

[@Esotericdetail]

If you want to use an actual ceramic coating, then use a pure polish...not an AIO.

[@jdhein32]

Yes, use the product on a flawless Bentley, so we can't see what the product actually did for the paint!! Brilliant.

[@MD-ph9bk]

Todd can Rupes Advanced be used as a base coat for a ceramic coating? Thanks

[@Esotericdetail]

Possibly. There are so many formulations out there that you can't simply say yes or no. You'd literally need to test it on a panel to see how it does.

[@billbuss7542]

How would you compare this to 3D Speed?

[@Esotericdetail]

We don't use their products, so can't give a definitive comparison.

[@peckols_yt]

Can you ceramic coat after using the uno advance? Or will it fail in the 10 months ?

[@peckols_yt]

12 months*

[@Esotericdetail]

It's not really designed as a "primer" for coating. Typically speaking, anybody who is using a coating is going to be going for a higher level of correction, and therefore wouldn't be using an all-in-one.

[@brian2359]

Great video Todd, looks like a great product!!!

[@Esotericdetail]

Thank you, and it definitely is a fantastic AIO!

[@alanm.thornton4055]

Is this really only best effective with a machine, or can I get decent results doing hand application? (silver truck) Thanks!!

[@Esotericdetail]

You could use it by hand, but honestly, you'd get very limited results.

[@alanm.thornton4055]

@@Esotericdetail yeah I was sort of thinking that would be the case. Time to upgrade and get a machine. Thanks for the response.

[@susanoconnor6619]

Hi Todd, can this be used over a ceramic ? .One of my favorite things I use over a ceramic is high gloss from polishangle .Thanks.

[@Esotericdetail]

This is a completely different product / application than what you would use High Gloss for. High Gloss is more for maintenance, whereas this would be used for a light polish on a coating that's starting to look a little rough.

[@susanoconnor6619]

@@Esotericdetail Thank you !! Have a great day .

[@kenchow1519]

​@@EsotericdetailHi Todd, if we were to use this on a ceramic coating as an annual boost, do you still recommend to clay the coating? Will the clay damage the coating already on the vehicle? Tks

[@Csig8927]

Can I use a ceramic spray detailer on top of it?

[@Esotericdetail]

Should be able to, but there's no way to know about compatibility until you try it.

[@azxc5562]

Which one is better this one or Polish Angel Master Sealant?

[@Esotericdetail]

They are two completely different products. This has defect removal capabilities, with a light-duty protectant. Master Sealant has no correction ability, and is a more durable protection.

[@johnsrc]

Can you use Uno Advanced on a ceramic coated car? Will the light machine polishing remove the coating?

[@Esotericdetail]

That was one of the 3 ways I said that it could be used. If you're just doing a light and fast polish, you won't have enough cut to remove the coating.

[@johnbrewer4177]

Todd with my UNO Protect you were able to wait 30 minutes then clean it up with a topper and it really looked great. My guess is because of the better formulation of this product UNO is no longer recommending that.

[@Esotericdetail]

If you're asking whether it needs a secondary product afterwards, then no, it's totally not needed.

[@mingoreyes1]

I'm a mobile detailer. Can I use this outside like the 3d one?

[@Esotericdetail]

I wouldn't recommend using it in the blazing sun, but otherwise, yes.

[@tmk2280]

I know you shouldn't need to polish PPF but I have full frontal, would it hurt to use this on it with a ultra fine pad?

[@Esotericdetail]

That would be fine if using a DA polisher.

Hello Ernesto. That's a really broad question, so I'm going to start you off with an important how-to video that also has some product recommendations in it. Please check this one out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKKuf3mvo82np5Y

Same as most other black paints.

[@thenamelenn]

Could this be used in the sun? Great video as always!

[@Esotericdetail]

I don't recommend using any products in the sun!! Thank you.

[@hford386348]

is this considered a glaze??if not whats the difference?

[@Esotericdetail]

No. A "glaze" was traditionally a filler product for body shops that didn't know how to finish polish. This is an abrasive polish with protective properties as well.

[@PEETY666]

No one tapes off anymore. Why?

[@Esotericdetail]

Usually not when you're doing a very quick AIO polish, unless you have really sensitive trim you're dealing with. If you're doing more intensive one-steps polishing, or multi-stage, then absolutely.

[@sxixlxnx]

My clients aren’t a big believer of this product because it doesn’t bead. If Rupes could get it to bead the clients would love it and I wouldn’t need to top it up. I’ve left it on for a LONG time and it doesn’t bead.

[@LKN4WAR]

Its more a sheeting protection as seen on apex channel but I do know the beading sells. 😀

[@sxixlxnx]

@@LKN4WAR il give that one a watch, thanks.

[@ssing7113]

Sounds like for your sisters car or a used car dealership Not for your baby 😂

[@tsifty1]

Is this good to use prior to applying a ceramic coat?

[@Esotericdetail]

Perhaps. You'd have to test it with your particular coating to make sure there are no compatibility issues.

[@jjjjjjjjjjjhjjjjjhjj]

Do I have to have dedicated towels for wipe off any curing in towel? What towels do you recommend for removal ?

[@Esotericdetail]

No need to throw away like a traditional coating. I'd still wash them right away though. For us, we like to use our 300 towels for the first wipe, and 350 for the second wipe.

[@detailfaktor]

Todd, in the video you use the 350 towel for the first wipe and the 300 for the second wipe. Is this because you're wiping off a polish? I'm asking this question because in the Gyeon Pure EVO video you use de 300 towel for the first wipe and the 350 for the second wipe.

[@Esotericdetail]

@@detailfaktor It could probably be interchangeable, but I like the thicker towel for the first wipe on this because it's a thicker material you're wiping from the surface compared to a coating.
