All About RUPES UNO PROTECT w/ Jason Rose | The BEST One-Step for Detailers who don't like AIO's!

Jason Rose of RUPES USA visits Levi in the studio to talk about the new UNO PROTECT one-step polish & sealant!
For many detailers, all-in-one type products can be a touchy subject because they've traditionally not offered much correction and tend to be loaded with fillers to disguise leftover imperfections. These frustrations are why Levi tends not to like AIO polishes very much, BUT, after using UNO PROTECT over the past few months, all of the complaints Levi would normally have about AIO's have been virtually eliminated. Between Jason & Levi, they'll be able to explain what makes UNO PROTECT different from the typical AIO.

Love Jason Rose! Wealth of knowledge and he seems so humble

[@hi-definitionautodetailing3423]

Great video guys. I haven't tried this product yet but sounds like a great AIO. I'll be tring it soon. I always like listening to Jason. He's very knowledgeable. Trust him 100%. Levi you to. I've done paint enhancements and paint corrections for 40 yrs now but always learn something new everyday.

[@jayz313]

It's really good to see Jason he's such a wealth of knowledge in the industry. I can see how this product is for everyone, from the DYI/Enthusiast who has a DA in his hand for the first time, to the professional. As an enthusiast I as well have "Tunnel Car Wash" friends who want thier car to look nice.

[@jrsanchez2049]

Saving this to my detailing favorites! I really like his informative skills! Great knowledge of this products/techniques

[@phillywalz]

That is one great product very happy with the results on every vehicle I used it on

[@randyfrommesaarizona6927]

Last week I used Uno Protect on my 2004 Dodge Ram that I purchased new. So almost 20 years of hand washing, never a drive through car wash, and always it stays in a dark garage. And never anything for paint correction besides hand applied wax. First I stripped the wax with SD-20 degreaser, followed by Sprayway glass cleaner. Then I used a brand new Rupes yellow foam pad, even though I had the wool pad Jason used, and I quickly learned that 3 dots of product was always followed by a quick final spurt as I closed the top - it will squirt out as you close the top, so you may as well spray it on your pad. It came out awesome! And it was easier and quicker than the hand waxing I’ve been doing. I have the fixed rotation Rupes machine because I have a fiberglass trailer and fiberglass sports car, both gel coat, so I’ve been following the boat detailers and using their recommended products. This was my first time using the Rupes on clear coated paint and it was so easy, the next job will be my wife’s Rav4. Fun times!

Pretty impressive all in one.

[@georgemyers6518]

I’m a huge fan of Rupes products. I bought an LHR15 MKIII 3 months ago. Game changer for me. Their polishers,pads and materials are the best by far. My next purchase will be the 3 inch Bigfoot polisher. After 39 years of detailing full time these Rupes products amaze me

[@dave2166]

That good....just got an ibrid nano.... it even feel quality in your hand before you've used it LHR15 is next on the list

[@treverbickmore476]

What do you do for combo for a One Stage and Two Stage

[@AntEloftheHouseofEl]

I would love to see how this would work with the Buff & Shine Uro-Fiber pads! With that pad having the two different types of microfibres, one for cutting and one for finishing, it would be interesting to see if you can get the best of both worlds with it and the Uno Protect.

[@bashintosh]

Did you ever follow up on that? It’s an interesting concept, I’m building up my arsenal right now and looking get a polishing kit going so I’m picking up any tips and knowledge. The combo in the this video seems great for a beginner like myself 🤘🏽

[@Delosriosandres]

Nice video! Very usefull

[@N.P.DETAILINGUK]

I have a question for you guys does the new DA polish get effected with colder temperatures? Reason im asking is im currently doing a correction on Mercedes CLS 2018 model. Swirls are being corrected but the straight scratches are very hard to correct even after three seperate attempts! The temperature in the building is around 12 degrees. Any help be appreciated! Thanks

[@debbiehart3793]

Sounds perfect for a Dealership!

[@ebk_fixxdy6485]

I don’t put any pressure on my mk3 15 and it cuts amazing for a one step I personally use 3D one with blue wool rupes lad best one step correction compound out there and works amazing with their pads the IMO is more of a sealant I’ve used it it does barely any correction because it’s for ultra fine finish it’s not a one step correction compound even their blue compound dosent really cut all that much I use thier pads not their compounds if I’m cutting I use nothing but M105

[@mcalette]

I got to try this product!

[@TechCrazy]

I have been watching Rupes videos and these guys are the best in the business. I have learnt some very valuable tips about polishing from these guys than anywhere else.

[@jjjjjjjjjjjhjjjjjhjj]

Does the pad have to be blown out or changed each pass or section or can it be used for the whole car ? Microfiber pad ? I had a tough time spreading it out not 20 minutes

[@c6z061]

Looks like a great product! I stay away from AIO's, unless I have pads set aside for them that I don't use with anything else.

[@TheCeki1982]

This does not matter. I recently used this UNO PROTECT with a yellow pad. It is important to wash the pads immediately after use. Temp. 30 degrees Celsius = 86 degrees Fahrenheit Use ARIEL PODS or TIDE PODS. You will not have any problem.

[@michaelmosberger1245]

Can you put a topper wax on this after 4 hrs. And if so what topper wax would you recommend? I use collinite insulator wax alot for that. Thanks

[@DKMFan85]

How does this compare to CarPro Essence? I've liked the performance of that AIO above all other so far.

[@detailingoradea8282]

Hi, is it ok if I use conditioner pad with this product? Thx.

[@asadabbasi2010]

Hi nice video brother.but you didn't mention about durability and is it hydrophobic?

[@stephenbozzone1116]

6:40 Pro Tip: dispensing the product works best when you open the cap.

[@patrickpeterman4890]

WHEN AND HOW WOULD YOU REAPPLY POSSIBLY ANOTHER POLISH?? NOT NECESSARILY AN( A.I.O).?? GREAT PRODUCT ; GREAT INFORMATION, THANK YOU, PATRICK.P

[@phoenixblack1220]

Which pad were you using?

[@MichaelOnRockyTop]

Something I wonder about All-In-Ones/Cleaner wax: When you perform a traditional paint correction followed by a wax, paint sealant, or coating, you have to do an IPA wipe to take the oils from the polish off the panel, so that the paint protection can bond to virgin clear coat. With the Cleaner Waxes, that step is missing, so you question well how that protection is married to that clear coat.

[@XL5Master]

When is Pure coming to the US?

[@KurayameDark]

Hey guys is a one step product always or traditionally a one pass only product?

[@lozzarichards5515]

Will I get decent results if I use this product by hand?

[@MyGuyKirby]

I am going to look forward to seeing the results but think I need to buy the larger size, 250ml will just be a starter.

[@TheCeki1982]

Nope. You don't need much product unless you're doing 10 cars a week.

[@meanf1502]

AT 19:34 Jason starts to talk about keeping it dry for 3-4 hours. So, how does that play into using Bead Maker with it during the wipe off (from your other video you did on the blue SUV)?

[@TheRagCompanyFAQ]

The guys actually go into detail about that in the "addendum" clip we added to the beginning of that combo video. (The part where the guys are sitting in the white room before the "actual" video starts) Here's the clip: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIDXqHicocymoKs

[@jayz313]

Levi, after the recommended four hour cure time can this be topped with Wowo's Crystal Sealant? I know you demonstrated that Bead Maker plays really well.

[@tr3v87]

Sealants as a rule should always go on first on a clean fresh surface. So i would say this would not be a product to layer up with as you'll cut your sealant away.

[@jrsanchez2049]

@@tr3v87 So you would put the sealant after doing this step correction?

[@tr3v87]

@@jrsanchez2049 I would say if you’ve used uno protect as a finishing polish you would wipe down before applying a sealant. Or just leave the protection provided by UNO as is and top up with wax as required.

[@GavDetails]

How long will the protection last ? I'm always curious with AIO products. I have used Blackfire One Step with decent results but how long does it last ? 3 months ? 6 months ? Longer ?

[@usmanyaqub381]

3 months

[@GavDetails]

@@usmanyaqub381 Thanks !

[@MrOffshore]

Last ten minutes if you scratch it with a tree branch. It will depend on how you treat your car/paint.

[@johnketuroskey6293]

how does it compare to jim lafebers(dr beasleys) NSP line and his Z1 AIO???

[@Audittr2108]

Scott from Dallas Paint Correction did a video singing the praises of the yellow wool pad with AIO polishes as a quick one step in Nov 2018. Looks like Rupes saw that video too! I’ve used the wool pad a few times in the last year with another AIO and it does work great in no time at all.

[@Mike_Spina]

When can beadmaker be applied ? After 20 mins or 3-4 hrs? Thx!

[@Audittr2108]

Mike - If you apply the Beadmaker after 20mins, the Beadmaker polymer sealants will just replace the Uno ones. If you wait longer, the Beadmaker will add extra protection. That’s my understanding anyway!

[@laylahagge5532]

Can I use this one for maintance ?

[@apoxrox]

Does anyone ever have Rupes polisher kits on sale? Seems like everyone is price fixed.

[@LoudModeOn]

Heard a lot of good things about this product and I'm definitely going to try it. Would love for these companies to make a product specifically designed to be used in direct sun and 85 degree heat. Maybe there's one already out there I don't know about?

They do rolling upgrades to their products. The pink is the latest version.

[@Tdub33]

Can you still apply a sealant and wax to this product?

[@oltiberisha2583]

This product is a sealant itself, it has wax inside

[@Mike_Spina]

how many RUPES yellow wool pads would this process take to do a full car/SUV? 2?

[@HobbyistPrinter]

If your cleaning your pad you can knock it out with one but you also need to decide if your removing more clear coat then you might want two or three just so you don't have to worry about the final result marring up as much

[@Sherukka]

The wool is sheading quite a bit, and don’t tell me it is a bad batch. Don’t really love them because of that.

[@HobbyistPrinter]

@@Sherukka I wash mine before I use them but even with that they do mess up a bit.

[@MeddlingMageGR]

You can't clean a wool pad when the product is wet even with a compressed air. Just throw it to a bucket with water and grab an other one. I would say you need 5-7 to finish a car.
