The ULTIMATE 1-Step Polish for Gloss and Slickness (Uno Protect & Bead Maker)

In today’s video, Anthony demonstrates the Ultimate 1-Step Polish feature RUPES Uno Protect and P&S Bead Maker. This NEW Tesla Model 3 needed the detail it deserves after being delivered with water spots and marring. The Uno Protect and Bead Maker Combo offers light paint defect correction for a job such as this! We know that Tesla isn’t known for having the best paint out of the box, but we wanted to get it back to baseline.
Uno Protect is an all-in-one polish with protectant. On its own, it’s a great product. However, using Bead Maker as a wipe-off spray with Uno takes it to the NEXT LEVEL. The Gloss and Slickness from this combo is rather unreal for minimal effort. Hence why we think this is such a money making combination for shops or the weekend warrior taking on jobs. It provides fantastic results every time, and customers absolutely love it. For the best experience, we recommend using our FTW towel for the wipe-off. Give it a shot with one of the many RUPES pads and your preferred machine, and watch the magic happen. Enjoy!

Anthony as always, I very much enjoy your videos. Excellent work. It never ceases to amaze me on how great the Uno Protect and Bead Maker looks, it looks so much nicer than any coating.

[@raymondpaterno2800]

I’ve been doing this one-step paint correction since I’ve watched your first video with Levi regarding this. It’s superb result and easy to apply for a beginner like me. 👍🏼

[@chrisrefaei]

Love the energy!

[@4940123]

This tutorial was awesome, you always explain step by step.

[@bashintosh]

Anthony is always good vibe 👍🏾

[@MyGuyKirby]

And a nice graphic finish on this video, kudos to the editing crew

[@happytrails1963]

Holy smokes. Paint on daily driver could really use this you make it look so easy!

[@neilwalker5041]

I really enjoyed the length and knowledge of this video.

[@juanperez-ds6kk]

I love the lighting

[@marybetheby5184]

Just buffed a 2013 Honda pilot using Uno protect with a griots Garage G9 and a microfiber polishing pad.Wipe down with bead maker is so fun!The customer swore it was repainted!This works kids..😎👍

[@cojventures7911]

fantastic results

[@J1Z06]

I'm going to have to try this.

[@no_lft_shft]

Can't deny results

[@thesamsquatch5224]

I really need to try uno protect now, I love bead maker but this combo is phenomenal. I know the customer paid for gloss and slickness but did you use MDR to remove the minerals before polishing? With those etched in you did phenomenally with just the one step! I always say worst part of polishing is putting on the pad 🤣. The rest is therapeutic

[@spencerbigum1309]

Wow the outcome was incredible. I'm getting ready to polish my new Tesla as well and wondering about the decision to use the wool pad as opposed to a foam pad(polish or cutting)? My paint doesn't have any water spots but mainly looks a little cloudy in areas(white paint). Thanks for any help and keep up the amazing work!

[@IamY00t]

Okay, I also own a black Model Y. Time to buy this shit, cuz my car has never looked this good

[@nomad509]

I cannot wait to protect the daily before the snow hits here in the upper rockies! Until then I am blazing through the Griot's spray on wax until its gone and back to Bead Maker next year.

[@TheNotimprezed]

I do think a water spot remover would have been worth while. I've had good results with carpro spotless. A few years back I was on vacation and the place I was at had sprinkers that nailed my black car on day 1. Baked in the summer sun all week and wouldn't wash away once home. I ordered spotless based on some reviews and by the time product arrived the spots had been on the car for 2 weeks, cooking in the summer sun the whole time. Spotless removed every spot and it was near instantaneous. I don't remember what I was running for protection at the time but I think it was just chem guys butter wet wax.

[@MyGuyKirby]

Given those water spots on the paint I would have hit the roof glass with a used pad. Otherwise a great combination and appreciate the owner loaning it for the paint enhancement

[@Lucas-ie2ti]

Another amazing tutorial rag company! Quick question, wouldn't it be better to apply bead maker after the polish and wipe with a microfiber towel? Wouldn't the polisher take the bead chemical away if applied prior to polishing?

[@bashintosh]

Will you guys every make a Polishing kit that includes all the basics like you just showed?

[@jonathanjohnson693]

Just wanted to ask, how much for a job like that. New subscriber here. Great content!

[@tyuspoletti]

Can I still add a ceramic coating after uno protect? What about bead maker? Combo? Or should I use rupes 2 step or different 1 step before coating?

[@tylerzesiger7648]

I noticed you didn’t tape headlights or plastics, is there no worry of staining with uno protect like other compounds?

[@mingoreyes1]

I think 3d all in one the same as uno protect. Sickness easy to come off and protection.

[@whiteywho7151]

Can obsessed garage drying aid be substituted for bead maker with the same results?

[@SeedyTony]

Do you blow out the pad after each section? Also what is the best way to clean the yellow wool pads after use? Cheers

[@98JamesNixon]

Can you do a video on UNO advanced?

[@jaimemendez8493]

I’m kind of new to all this. What’s the big differences between Uno Protect and the DA Fine Polish Compound?

[@RAZERSDRIVER]

4:34 - everytime I need to apply paste in this way? Or only first time to impregnate polish pad?

[@DannyTammaro]

Could this accomplished with technicians choice ceramic spray detail?

[@clow242]

How long of protection are you looking at with this combo?

[@toddmurashige487]

Most products come out gloss & slick ( I just use beadmaker) but how long does this combo last? After the 1st wash beadmaker slick is gone which doesn't matter to me because after every wash I'll go over car with beadmaker. My point is why do I need anything else if I cannot benefit from longevity?

[@marios8593]

Will this process work using defender instead of beadmaker?

[@edmay9472]

Help me out here. I don't understand how this process works. Your spraying Bedmaker, on top of another product that has dried and created a film on the panel and it is going to go through Uno Protec bond to the panel, and create a higher shine and sickness. It seems it would work better if you remove the Uno Protec, then add Bedmaker ??? Please explain

[@Buckyvw]

Fantastic tutorial. I do have to ask, who in the world applied that beadmaker label on the IK and after how many adult beverages 🤣🤣

[@Detailpops]

@@theragcompany hey brother ! I usually have to follow with a foam when I use rupes wool, does using a polish like uno protect counter that since it’s not real aggressive?

[@erikalvarado1432]

And the Rupes Protection doesn’t stain the plastics?

[@QuarterZipBro]

Where can i get that merch? That blue shirt is what I need to buy.

[@scottmattern482]

I wonder if Levi and Morgan get royalties everytime this is shown on youtube?

[@ronayotte3571]

I do this, but instead of BeadMaker, I use GTechniq'sLliquid Crystal C2 V3. It also works with Jescar's Power Lock+ and Ultra Lock+.

[@mozart369]

I just ordered the C2V3.. so do you use it to wipe off the polish like was shown here, or apply after as a topper?

[@ronayotte3571]

@@mozart369 you can do either/or.

[@panosbalp9910]

So after all this beautiful work, can you also apply ceramic coating?? 🤔🥳

[@NipponStiqqyPaint]

Nooo0oOoooooö

[@daniellanglois4378]

Why did you taped anything ? Does the uno protect doesnt stain anything ?

[@benbirch2393]

Can i substitute bead maker for dream maker (i already have the dream maker)? Thanks

[@ivanramos7470]

Can this process be done with any one step polish… like Koch Chemie?

[@verduzcoautodetailing3183]

Can this be done outside in sunlight? Im a mobile detailer

[@tonykemper8896]

WHATS THE difference between uno protect and uno advanced?

[@johnwagner8465]

That was great..do you always use a wool?...I see most people using foam .what's the difference ?thank you

[@DetailsNMe]

Wool is going to give you more cutting ability…the foam pads are less aggressive and geared more towards polishing and sealing….

[@jonbravo9278]

I think Beadmaker can beplaced with a more durable sealant or spray wax. Griots 3 in 1 Ceramic, TW Hybrid Solutions Ceramic, Adams Graphene Spray, Meguiars Ceramic....I understand Beadmaker is your favorite and you don't sell the others but 1 month of protection isn't enough for my vehicle or my customers.

[@MasterOfShine]

Totally understand Jon but if you use Beadmaker every time you wash your protection is technically infinite. Also after years of using Beadmaker, I’ll tell you it lasts longer than a month. It’s all in how it’s washed and what type of weather you deal with. Here in Idaho, beadmaker does really well!

[@GDavis49]

@@MasterOfShine Amen 🙏

[@bradleydecker3883]

So I’ve tried this but with the blue wool pads I feel like I have even more fine scratches then I did before…any advice. I may not have worked it in all the way or maybe I used too much product. Idk😅🤷🏻‍♂️

[@NipponStiqqyPaint]

It happens with something as aggressive as the coarse wool. Just finish out with a yellow or white pad. Good luck dude

[@bmish1825]

Did I miss something or was there no before and after shots?

[@ac14081408]

playlist of the music?

[@clow242]

would you suggest the same time of curing in the sun?

[@XecutiveOfficial]

Don't apply or let it cure in direct sunlight. While it is possible you would want to let the product sit on the car in a place where it is less prone to the elements. The purpose of this is so the product doesn't dry out prematurely and to avoid exposure to decontamination.

[@RonR227]

Can you do a ceramic coating on top of that?

[@RonR227]

I’m referring to if you did it properly with 3 steps, rubbing compound, correct to polish, and then a polish on top of it. Then your 3rd step with uno protect, then ceramic coat

[@bluegrasskid4835]

11:30 Some companies make a little inch or so long plastic cylinder shaped device to stick into the backing plate which guides the pad to backing plate and centers it perfectly. Maybe the rag company could find someone to make one for you and sell them on the site. If the Rag Company does get one and sells them, can I have a penny for each you the Rag Company sells for the idea? LOL I will even take it in store credit.

[@mozart369]

Can this technique with bead maker be used with any one step polish or is it more designated for the uno protect product?

[@chrisrefaei]

Any one step for sure

[@kylechow6072]

No, it cannot be used with any one step polish, If it is a All-in-one, then yes. Remember there is a very big difference between those two terminologies.

[@luizamaya3678]

How much would you charge for this service?!

[@MrCars2008]

Is the Uno protect supposed to be pink in color? I'm watching all these videos and the polishing cream looks White but my Uno protect the polishing cream is bright pink

[@scottmattern482]

Unless they recently changed the formula, that might be something to be concerned about. My uno protect is tinted lightly orange/pink. Have you used it, does it seem to work?

[@obsessedmobiledetailing]

My uno protect is pink also just got it yesterday. And the bottle I purchased like 4 months ago was pink too

[@johnbrewer171]

Can I use my Uno Protect on my Ppf on the front of my model 3?

[@whiteywho7151]

Yes; Levi explained in a rupes uno video with Jason rose about using it on his wrapped suburban

[@gilflores789]

At the risk of sounding like a noob (because I am) how come none of the areas were taped off?

[@NipponStiqqyPaint]

Yolo

[@withintheroots.]

Can you ceramic coat after a one step? Even if it has a sealant?

[@theragcompany]

Technically yes, but you MUST use a panel prep product before the application. Ideally, you would want to one-step with a product that contains no protection.

[@marios8593]

Will this work using defender instead of beadmaker?

[@tylergraff4818]

What towels were used?

[@GDavis49]

the FTW

[@joaquinmireles3912]

But beadd maker only ast wers why not pt a carmaic coat

[@Rob12345]

can you use if ceramic coated already?

[@XecutiveOfficial]

Rupes Uno Protect is a polymer sealant that best adheres to bare paint. That's the reason for the 20 minute sit time + 4hours without getting it wet so the polymers can crosslink with the paint. If you apply over a ceramic coating the bond won't be as strong basically rendering it a waste of product. To get the most out of the product, including that amazing shine, I would recommend either removing the ceramic coating or just waiting until it's time for a new protective coating.

[@joaquinmireles3912]

But I protect us only good for three months uno protectadva e protects for year you chose. Both Re siclise
