Knocked this out couple weeks ago....Before doing the Shelby.

This Rupes UNO Protect is kick arse stuff! slick, slick with great gloss and sheen!

Got a feeling this will pass Blackfire One Step with ease.

This jeep has hard hard paint and it was able to cut and burnished the paint perfectly.

In Love again! Lol...

Looks good !

I have done one of those and really disliked it a lot !
Can't really get into a flow with everything going on and a handle or hinge every 4 inches :mad:

Exactly. My wife has a Wrangler.

I need to get extra motivated, (and that may or may not include a 6-pack) to even think about starting her Spring correction. Lol

The Jeep was the main reason (and convenient excuse) that I purchased my GG6 and converted my PC into a 3". ;)
 
Agree....With what said about doing a Jeep. They are a royal pain to do!

It helps when owner willing shell out good $$$$. Then it is so bad after all!

Bruno Classic Muscle installed a turbo charger in the jeep a couple of years ago.

You can see the aluminum radiator in picture # 5 that cools the turbo. Recalled was bit of a pain to get it to fit.
But the Bruno crew was able to get it all together nicely.

I’ve seen this Jeep somewhere before. Nice work.

I see some of you may know why my daily driver, a Jeep Rubicon, gets waxed twice per year. It’s a pain to do. So many crevices, hinges etc that trap water. Even using compressed air you will get a random stray drip trail after each wash. But they’re a lot of fun to play in the dirt with.
 
CBeast with McKee's redline polishing pad (the orange pad).

Are you liking the McKee’s pads better than the B&S Uro-Tec pads Mike recommends for the CBeast?
 
Never tried the Uro-tec's...

So dunno if they're better or not.

Not sure if this is correct but recalled that the Lake Country Force Hybrid foam pads were the ones Mike uses on all the Flex polishers. Not sure tho...

I have the 6.5 Force Hybrids for the Beast and the C finisher.

I also have all the Rupes pads in 6" size.

I believe that the McKee's redlines are made by Lake Country for the McKee company. And those orange pads feels stiff about the same as Rupes yellow pads. The difference is that the McKee's pads stay stiff when in use while the Rupes yellow pads tend to get soft after it gets warm...

Thanks dgage...

I admit---I'm getting info overload and cant remember what or where!

Thanks for posting that.

Tom
 
Haha. No kidding. I had to go to Google and use site:autogeekonline.net to find what I was looking for as a forum search didn’t turn it up.
 
Thanks for posting. Rupes Uno is the next AIO I plan on trying....was gonna buy some today, then forgot and the 25% sale was over.....it will have to wait until the next one
 
This is a good all round AIO....And new too.

You'll do well with this!

I bought a bunch of the new Rupes DA pads in blue, yellow, and white and already have DA Fine polish. I had the DA Coarse and Uno Pure in my cart multiple times but felt I needed to finish off my Menzerna 3500 and Meguiars Microfiber D300 compounds first. Compared to what I spent on today's sale, those two would have been a drop in the bucket but I tried to focus on what I "needed". :)
 
My experience...

Yellow....polish and pads
White pads.
Uno protect....Done!

Will take care of 90% of what you need to do.

Skip the blue pads and course compounds. Haven't touch my blue pads and compounds over 2 years! Didn't find much use.

If needed deep cut---always went with the UHS polish.

And their gray pads...
