Levi's ULTIMATE 20 Minute One-Step Revealed! (Rupes Uno Protect + P&S Bead Maker) | DETAILING UNCUT

[@jayz313]

Fantastic results, in only 20 minutes, UNO Protect is a stellar product. I'd say you have the Professor of Polish, teaching the Teacher. I really like the direction you are heading in with these videos, educational, imparting product knowledge and techniques, and small things like what to watch out for in and around the spoiler. Also seeing a whole car done is awesome, you get so much from seeing the different areas worked, and seeing the end result on a whole car makes a huge difference, you really get a sense of what the product can do.

[@MyGuyKirby]

Such a treat to have Coach Levi, Master of Shine, talking you through the process. A priceless experience.

[@nicksdragon6929]

I agree the Professor of Polish did a great job of passing on the knowledge, and I am happy to absorb it. Thank you.

[@Invincibility550]

Thanks for the video. I really enjoy these types of real world, time-saving workflows-a lot of great info. But respectfully, the whole car with one pad? I don't use Rupes wool pads so forgive me for talking out of school, but if it performs like most pads, it pretty much quit cutting halfway through the right side of the car. You can blow it out but it's still soggy and saturated with product and debris. We didn't get to see the actual correction (I know, enhancement), before and after, up close with a light, and the finished car looked good, but wouldn't swapping pads dramatically improve the correction with a minimum time penalty? Also, sorry if I missed this, but is BeadMaker a much better sealant than Uno Protect? Why replace one for the other? Thanks again for the video. Please continue to make more "working detailer" vids. Really appreciated.

[@-curedetailing2162]

You made a really dazzling car. I'm doing the details in Korea. Your video is helping a lot. I ask for good videos from now on.

[@Audittr2108]

I just used Uno Protect with the Rupes Yellow wool pad and took a bit more time to get some decent correction. Took two hours, removed the light swirls and the car looks amazing. Uno Protect is the best AIO out there. On it’s own leave so much gloss and slickness.

To Gabe's defense on the sock thing, which Levi's reaction to was hilarious, prior to buying my 15 f150 Lariat in 2018 I was the armour all wipe and car wash brush from walmart guy. Had absolutely no knowledge of detailing and how to properly wash and take care of a vehicle the right way. Have yet to actually pick up a polisher and get my feet wet in paint correction but im getting there.

Great to see a Corolla in the TRC garage. I hope the next video in this series will be “Dane’s 4 minute Express Cafe seduction”.

[@georgemyers6518]

Great video. I’ll have the opportunity to use this product either late this week or next week at work. I’m looking forward to it.i have both the same Rupes pad you were using and some Rupes medium cut wool polishing pads. My polisher is the same as the one you’re using in the video.i love that thing.after over 30 years of using a rotary polisher everyday the mkIII is really enjoyable to use. I have to use a roller stool when I polish the side panels because I’m 60 and I had meniscus repair surgery on one of my knee 3 years ago so I can’t walk on my knees or sit on my heels like I use to. Please keep the videos coming

[@Audittr2108]

In reality you don’t need your car corrected to 100% and an enhancement detail is more appropriate. The Rupes wool pads with all in one polishes can get great results in no time.

[@marybetheby5184]

Your statement is 100% correct!

This method versus... Uno Protect, wiping it off as normal & coming back after 24 hour cure time THEN wiping down with Beadmaker? Basically I'm asking are we compromising the sealant in Uno Protect by immediately hitting it with Beadmaker? Or are we really enhancing it? If you had the time which method is better? Thanks @The Rag Company

What I love about this video and everything TRC does is it goes against the absolute biggest bullshit thing about detailing. The idea that detailing is some kind of secret dark art that is so impossible only a few can do it. Detailing is a skill that can be learned and done a billion ways. It's something everyone can do to whatever level they want to take it.

I appreciate the tutorial. I think that definitely did improve the paint a smidge. I'm honestly blown AWAY that people would pay for this service. Honestly if I'm paying for a polish, I'd want more defect removal.... this seems a tad too fast.

[@dustin3700]

The hand speed was to fast and not enough pressure use used but then again he doesn't have experience, other than that he did a good job. Rupes yellow and sonax perfect finish, a tad spendy* but with a good technique its works on most paints.

[@ahmadabboud1535]

I usually perform a service like this but with a slightly slower arm speed for people that just want an enhancement and cant afford a stage one correction. I sell my paint correction on a good, better best basis. Good being an all in one with a fast arm speed, better is stage one correction, best is stage two. Most of the population have untrained eyes that cannot see swirls and scratches the way detailers can and just want the paint to look shinier, which is the entire point of an enhancement detail. Plus these sort of packages make detailers more competitive towards the carwash fans who have a heart attack when they hear the cost of a stage one or two paint correction. AIO's definately have a role in detailing

With the combo, what kind of durability are you looking at? I know beadmaker isn’t the best for protection. Could you use a better sealant and it work the same way as beadmaker essentially?

Does uno protect contain resin fillers?

[@Mogsy28uk]

good demo, but would also be interested in what else can be used with Uno, other than BM, so it lasts longer (prep is key, i know), best i can get out of it in Scotland is 3-4 weeks (personal car). Other decent ceramic spray sealants should have more longevity, like Angelwax Enigma QED/Ti22 Titanium Spray Sealant, Adams Ceramic Spray Coating, CarPro Reload, Gyeon Cure, Sonax S&S, TW Seal & Shine (US)/Hybrid Sealant (UK), WOWO Crystal Sealant and my current fav, Meg's HCD. 😁😁😁 I've been doing tests with Enigma QED, BeadMaker, Meg's HCD and TW Hybrid Sealant, they all do well other than BeadMaker, it needs a boost/reformulated to lift it up (or used as part of a blend to make a super sealant mix). Who knows what other cool products are due to be released in the next year. 🤞🤞

[@marconunez174]

Ive tried Uno protect, give the 20mins cure time then buff off using Sonax BSD and plush microfiber. Give it time to cure perhaps overnight then hit it with bead maker as a drying aid. My car ended up looking like its ceramic coated. Works amazing

[@rooriderroorider]

Any advice on the wiping of residue? I get residue marks that look like micro marring lines , these marks change direction when wiping in opposite directions so I know it’s only residue? Should I work the product more or leave it set for longer

@@puffy514 I tried it today. A couple of sprays as normal per panel and it wiped off, although it grabbed more than bead maker. It also streaked a bit, so I ended going back over the panel with bead maker and that tidied it up. It was cold here today, just 9 degrees Celsius so might try it again on a better day. My personal thoughts was that the TW polish comes off better with either a damp microfibre or bead maker, which I apply a bit more liberally than the TW Ceramic Spray Sealant. By applying too much TWCSS it streaks and by not applying enough moisture the polish didn't come off as well. The only other way I thought might work better would be to also spray some TWCSS into the microfibre then wipe off the polish. It definitely worked, I just couldn't mess around too much today cause I was trying to beat a rain storm.
