Rupes Uno Protect! All In One! Cut/Finish/Protect!

Today, we put Rupes Uno Protect through the Apex Detail Review Process!! UNO PROTECT is a proprietary blend of natural waxes, cross-linking polymers and modern abrasives formulated in-house by RUPES. This true all-in-one product is designed to provide fast correction of moderate to fine defects on painted surfaces while leaving a high quality finish and durable polymer protection in just one step. Unlike traditional one step products which rely heavily on natural waxes for protection UNO PROTECT utilizes the latest chemistry in cross-linking polymers to provide up to 90 days of protection and a high gloss shine. Ideal for express detail services, high volume detailing operations, car dealerships or anyone looking for a fast and easy to use solution to polish and protect in a single step.
Rupes Uno Protect.....www.amazon.com...
UNO PROTECT is universally compatible with all machine types and can be safely used on any nonporous exterior surface with excellent results, including single stage lacquer paint, clear coat, and gelcoat. The performance of UNO PROTECT can be tuned simply by adjusting the choice of pad material. UNO PROTECT is compatible with foam, wool, and microfiber pads depending on the desired level of cut and finish.

Man that car is sick! Love it when you have one of your vets in your videos!

[@barbaroacosta5335]

The best channel on KZbin. The channel, and the support group are my classroom. Beautiful car.

[@kostas4758]

So easy to use and after the 4 hour mark according to Rupes , you can top it with whatever wax/sealant/hybrid spray you want. Can also be used as a 2nd step polish+wax with a fine pad. Fantastic product.

so you could compound, an then finish with this?

The C3 looks fantastic Brian! I'm sure its been a very gratifying project! She's great!

[@illusionzauto]

fantastic. The only detailer on here to actually show the cutting capability of Uno protect based on pad type as well. Every other detailer is showing Uno protect working on a white colored vehicle which shows not a damn thing. Good work Apex

[@chrismurphy783]

I love that Le Mans vette. Fantastic job for the restoration/modification of the barn find.

[@puffy514]

I used Uno Protect on my car two weeks ago. I was a bit pressed on time. But it still came out nice. Topped the next day after a rewash with some Soft 99 Fuso Coat. Love the results!! P.S. nice C3!!!!

[@98JamesNixon]

How long did the protection last?

[@puffy514]

@@98JamesNixon The Soft 99 lasted a good 6 - 7 months. Most of it was a Canadian winter, with salt covered roads..

The vette looks amazing. I followed the series and the transformation is incredible. The gloss after the Uno looked amazing !

[@koyomin4143]

Finally someone review Rupes Uno protect 🙌.. Great review 👍

[@yeatts134]

I ordered this and had it come In today. I don’t expect this protection to last months and months. Most all in ones the paint correction/protection fall in the category of good but not great. But for mobile detailing this will allow me to be quicker while leaving my client the look they want and protection in half the time. It’s a win win. Looking forward to using this

[@hi-definitionautodetailing3423]

I found the best pads for this was the RUPES medium yellow wool pad and for a finer finish the RUPES yellow finishing pad. I've been waiting for this one the video that is. The new DA Corse & DA Fine are great products also.

[@garcia5986]

i use rupes protect after cutting with heavy compound like meguiars m105. i dont need 3 step

[@tomasaro4910]

Time to try the new Rupes D-A foam pads (blue, yellow, white)?? Also time to try the new Rupes D-A gel fine yellow cap and the D-A gel coarse blue cap???

[@jayz313]

This is some rwally nicestuff, your C3 looked amazing, the test panel looked as amazing. I have to say from just the aesthetics this one of the best finishes I have ever seen, it had decent protection and ease of use. I would put this on my vehicle instead of a coating if I lived in a climate where I had the luxury of working on my truck outside year round and could top off the Uno Protect every two to three months.

[@henryhong8863]

Is this product better than blackfire one step polish?

[@user-un5my5bw4j]

This is the first one step i ever tried. I did not have good luck with it and i pitched it in the garbage. At the time i my normal routine was Sonax Cutmax then Sonax Fineline finish. I then switched to 3D #500 &#520. Despite my experience with Rupes uno protect i have purchased 3D one using a 50/50 urofiber pad and with outstanding results. Infact 3D One with the urofiber pad really suprised me that its as good as it is. I will say i did not use a urofiber pad when trying rupes uno protect. I used foam pads which were extremely difficult to clean afterwards

[@AKGaragezz]

Liked the 10 wash test at the end as i was wondering should i wash after polishing to remove the product. This will give me two options now to wipe it off and to wash the car after to make sure it is absolutely product free finish.

[@MyGuyKirby]

The Rag Company is having good results with this and then Beadmaker as the final wipe, even if after the 4-hour or longer cure time.

[@pacpremiumautocleaners9396]

Indeed, Rupes UNO Protect is outsanding all-in-one, I think it does't have any filler on it. What do you thing my dear Apex Detail?

[@CarlosSilva-cn1bc]

Do You still prefer the 3D One than the Rupes Uno?

[@5hift6ear]

Two different products. Uno protect is an All-In-One (AIO) and 3D One is a dedicated one step compound/polish (compolish?). I don't have experience with Uno, but I have used One and my hunch is that One has more cut, but Uno may edge out One in finishing ability.

[@henryfreeman6113]

U mean 3D speed

[@CarlosSilva-cn1bc]

I’ve seen many videos comparing the one with the uno protect.

haha funny to hear you say "roops" always had heard it as "roo-pez" anyways thanks for the vid product looks really good. Would you recommend this before a ceramic coating, or something like sonax perfect finish or 3D one?

[@mariuszp4530]

Wow...this stuff is better then 3D SPEED 🤔

[@MiataPower96]

Are there any fillers in this product like a glaze that hides imperfections or is it truly removing the defects permanently? Also how about 3D Speed? Any fillers in that one, and can you compare the two products?

[@orangejuicejones571]

Beautiful

[@Audittr2108]

I got great results with the Turtle Wax ceramic AIO which was then a prefect base for a SiO2 spray sealant on top. How would this polymer sealant be under an SiO2? I’m guessing the longevity would be reduced.

[@Cameron-bk5gk]

Is Uno Protect a good choice to hand polish small water spots and swirls? Yes, I know machine polishing is better. This is for a tiny area on delicate paint. Can it be followed up with C2v3?

[@miked4479]

Hi Brian, Can you tell me in your expert opinion, Does this product compare to 3D Speed, or does this product exceed it? Also, in your opinion, does the Extreme LVR 403 exceed this product pertaining to general use on everyday vehicle? Thank You Sir. Mike

[@samcas707]

Now for the comparison with igl f4. I just started f4 on my giulia qv as a quick one step as it’s going to be living outside for a while, using a uro pad and I get 2 passes and pad starts to dry out and it dusts up surrounding panels - fortunately a distilled water spritz cleans it up easy, but I’m curious now given the uno can be worked much longer and cleaner

Damn Brian you have some awesome subscribers no dislikes so far! Knock on wood lol

[@tundrawhisperer4821]

Unrelated question Brian, does warm water aid to stripping or breaking down protections faster, as apposed to using cold water?

[@apexdetail85]

Yes...makes the water more acidic the warmer it gets.

I got some and it's fluoro pink did they change there sorcery or something lol?

Does this product have UV blockers as well

Which would be better go to, this or 3done? I use 3done alot but as of recent id like to try something else. Also since this applies a coating would it not be best to use if planning on adding a ceramic?

Over time the paint and clear has shrunk, and you can see some sand scratches in places and there are lots of fine scratches. Will UNO protect with the right pad take those marks out, or would I need to cut and buff? The scratches are mainly noticeable under a lot of lighting. Thanks.
