I'd like to hear Kevin Browns instruction and thoughts about HD UNO and cutting paint

Dan said:
Great review Kevin, just curious how you arrived at the number, just an observation or did you measure with something? I've had on my todo list forever to do a test of 105 vs UNO with a fixed weight on the DA and get some before and after paint measurements, just curious if you had beat me to the punch.

An observation. It went something like:



"Okay, lets see how we do with M105.

Prime the disc, set 'er down, fire it up.

Aaaall right, there we go... clearing a bit... another pass.... OH!

Wow, okay, that was a lot faster..."



Like that.

It also leveled the panel better.

Meaning, there was nary a hint of shined up "sanding texture" present.



I suspect that if you took measurements, (and the measuring device was able to discern the difference), you may see a bit more paint removed if you tried to level to the same degree with HD Uno.
 
Thanks for testing it out Kevin. Interesting results. I am glad that you gave the Ceros some of the spotlight in your testing too because you answered some of the questions that I would have asked about it. I am mainly using M-105 and D-300 in my shop currently, with a pretty big selection of different finishing polishes in case I get a show car to work on. While I do get some customers that don't mind paying me to be anal retentive in my paint corrections, most just want a quicker service while higher in quality than what some of the other local places are providing. I think I'll just stick to what I have been using as it's the most efficient that I have been able to be. Thanks for taking the time to review the HD UNO. While it does seem to be a nice product for a lot of folks, I just don't see where it can provide any improvements in my process.
 
Thanks Kevin.



I too don't see a place in my arsenal for UNO. I have M101, M105, and M205 from Meguiar's plus various other finishing polishes. I don't think UNO can do a better job at any step of the process than what I already have available.

I looked up D-300 in the Acronym Decoder and did not find it.

What is D-300?

Thank you.

D300 is the compound by Megs to work with the MF pad system, it's the cutting compound that's slightly less cut than M105.
