Have to give credit where credit is due. After seeing this video, it became a package I offer and boy has it sold. $$$$$
Looks like a 'Friday Easter Egg' Surprise, thanks! I hope you had a 'before' picture of that car surfaces.
Now I'm curious what kind of things Levi's did with that chemistry set he had as a kid. The Honda looks amazing, keep the detailing oriented videos coming.
It’s great to see you all making videos again. I’m going to have to give this Uno a try after I finish my current all in one polish.
Nothing I love more than a fast flasher. One of the reasons why I really love using Optiseal on glass too.
Great video guys! Will definitely try this out!
I tried your version and I can say that it is the best combination. super cool guys!
Anthony, Popeye called and he wants his calves back...😂😂😂
Love the idea, but I've never been a fan of topping cleaner wax type products. I've done it, and wondered why I just didn't use a finishing polish to give my spray sealant a direct bond to the paint.
@Amsterdamnster Kush - Right?
Love the channel and Levi, but the gatekeeping is ugh...
Hey, So you use uno, a finish polish & then a spray sealant?
@@MrDro1128 - If I used Uno Pure I would, but never with Uno Protect.
@@danlc95 gotcha. Thanks!
Just did this combo today on a customer's white yukon denali..im very impressed! I left it sit for a minimum of 20 mins before I wipes off with beadmaker. I didn't think beadmaker could feel any slicker but now it does!
And yes guys, beadmaker alone is a pretty strong sealant and have seen it go over 70 days with ample beading still.
Ive used uno multiple times and didn't realize you need to let it sit on the surface! Thanks for the info!
I just applied this combo today........I'm in love!!!
I love using bead maker, i also use it as a topper on my coatings👍
Hello fellas, I've watched many of your videos. In two of them you are using UNO protect and bead maker. In one you polish the entire vehicle in 20 mins and and then spray bead maker and wipe off. In the second you polish the entire vehicle and say to wait 4 hrs before applying the bead maker. Does waiting the four hours allow the polish to cure more and therefore give a better shine. Sorry for being so long winded. Thanks for the videos. Jim
You guys are pushing the proverbial envelope with great results!
Just heard about Uno the other day. Interesting, to say the least. Personally not a fan of BM, so I don't think I'd give this a shot. I love the experimentation, though! Thinking outside the box and finding synergies is always rewarding.
I noticed bm would fog up when it's humid...don't use it anymore
Brian Ballenger noticed that too. I believe TRC mentioned how to counteract the fogging/smearing when hot/humid - spray BM directly on the towel, and none or a very minimal amount on the panel. That helped me a little bit, but it's not perfect. If Uno came in a smaller size, I'd definitely pick some up and experiment with other spray sealants I have.
Honestly I dunno about BM either, but one thing that I do in my business is use HD Speed and wipe it off with Meg's Synthetic Xpress Wax. That is also a killer combo with no dwell time and direct sunlight and black plastics friendly.
When are you guys going to do a follow up on this vehicle? To see how these have held up?
Amazing process.
I really need to give this a try
I do this whenever I remove a sealant. works great.
Oh shit, and here I was pondering on what my next AIO will be. I got a bunch of these jobs coming up, and I ran out of Speed. Time to fire up the charge card! (pulls string...vrrroooooommm!!)
Great result, simple and easy
Nice! Thanks for sharing👍
Hmm Interesting, will this process work with other all In Ones say like 3D Speed, Meguiar d 166, jescar AIO, carpro Essence, among others . Thanks for the info and vid
I would like to know too
Definitely going to try this!
Great video i’ll try for sure. Question: what do you think guys of using OPT GPS instead the Rupes Uno Protect? Makes the same job...
I recall them saying that Uno beats GPS in a Q&A
How do you guys think the Uro-Fiber cut and finish microfiber pads would behave with UNO?
Just used that combo on my channel with great success 👍
@@JamieTheCleaner Just caught your video. Very nice work. 🔥👊🏻
Jay Zstr thanks for checking it out!
Yet to try UNO but have used another AIO with the yellow Rupes wool pad and it gave superb results for a quick one step enhancement.
Which AIO product currently you using to team up with rupes yelllow wool pad?
Matt - I tried the Turtle Wax Ceramic Polish. It’s the standout product in that range IMO. The wool pad works great with most AIO’s from what I’ve heard.
If your using Rupes UNO (AIO), but then replacing the protection sealant with Beadmaker sealant, whats the difference between using a normal 1 step product that will cut and give gloss (Perfect Finish)? Since your just using UNO for that and giving it a different sealant?
That’s what i thought. Could of just used Menzerna 3500 and then any spray sealant and get the same result.
Why replace the sealant in Uno Protect and why with Beadmaker which isn’t know for its longevity? Isn’t there a longer lasting spray sealant that can take the place of Beadmaker and extend the longevity of Uno Protect?
My car has a feel of tiny little grit as I run my hand across the paint, I don't see it, but I feel it. Do I have to clay the surface of my car to remove this grit before buffing it or do I use a compound with a buffer to remove the grit before I polish it with UNO Protect.
Iron Remover, clay bar, then polish
Wouldn't it be better to just use UNO pure and then top it up with Bead Maker? Considering you don't need the sealant part of the Uno protect anyway.
DON'T feel like a full correction (compound/polish) prior to apply a coating, can RUPES UNO PROTECT be used in place of 2/3 step correction?
Only if you strip it, at which point you’d be wasting money on the product in the first place because you would not be using it as designed for intended purpose.
Use UNO pure?
Anybody doing this years later?? I do and it's made me quite a bit of money!It works!
Love the vids guys
OMG. I LOVE YOU GUYS. THANKS FOR THE TIP
Hello fellas, enjoy your videos. Since watching them I have been purchasing many of Rupes products. Including the LHR15Es. I have one question to ask. I have Chemical Guys Snow Foam. Should I clay before foaming or after. Thanks much. Jim
After, then machine polish. After machine polish, IPA wipe the car down and then chuck on your sealant, wax, or ceramic coating.
Wow..it amazing..good job guys..
Very impressive 👍
Will UNO wash out of the pads when you clean them or do you recommend a second set of pads since it has a polymer sealant? Thanks!
It'll wash out but it takes a while
I use dedicated polishing pads for my cleaner wax type products.
Can you apply uno protect on textured plastic trim? It will not turn it white? Avoiding having to tape. Thanks
Hey Anthony and Levi, hope you two are doing well. Don’t you think this combo is not an ideal one when it comes to longevity of this application, as Uno have fillers in it?? While it gives you the immediate pop it is really not a durable solution and may work for someone who does not want to pay for full correction process with quality products that does not include fillers. I need to know you opinion when it comes to Uno and fillers in it. Appreciate your feedback.
Can this be done in derect sunlight? Im a mobile detailer only reason im asking
Can you spray ceramic spray after Uno Protect?
So I finally gave this a shot and the final results were great, but I had a battle with streaking after trying to wipe off the BM. Keep in mind.... I was doing this OUTSIDE (Northern CA) and our weather was pretty damp after a lot of rain and the sun was breaking in and out. I want to assume it was my conditions that caused this but maybe someone could speculate otherwise? Took me FOREVER to wipe away the discolored streaking. I found that if I applied BM to my MF towel and applied it quickly to a smaller section of panel and did a quick buff out that I was able to avoid the issue.
Spray BM on the towl and not the vehicle first....world of difference!
@@donaldthomason4588 yeah that and I skipped the part of letting the UP set up for a few hours after wipe off. I applied BM probably a 1/2 hour after the whole car was glazed with UP.
can you get the whole vehicle polished with the one yellow wool pad?
try to leave it on over night and wipe it off with the spray just to see how easy it comes of if you forget it on for some reason and at the same time try to see is it getting stronger then or not
how long should this one step polish take? What can one charge for this?
Not even gonna lie...I shouldn't have watched this. I'm brand new in the detailing industry and still learning polishing theory. This changes some shit...
You should try angelwax enigma aio :)
Which pad would you recommend with rotary application?
I like the idea but why not use ps playmaker all in one followed up with beadmaker? I was planning on trying that combo out
I believe they mentioned in the Q&A that Levi and Anthony have tested Playmaker and it doesn't meet their standards for results and ease of use.
Would the Rupes white pad be equivalent to the orange in other brands? Thanks, and looking forward to trying this after my other 3and1 runs out.
Rich yellow is equal to orange
I compared uno to 3D speed and uno finishes out so much better in my particular use case. I’ll have to try the bead maker combo
Uno also gums up pads less than Speed in my experience. I've officially switched to Uno.
Have you guys tried this with Power lock plus off with Beadmaker?
I agree This works well
What about using this with uno advanced?
I’ve seen the bead maker can be used on exterior plastic trim.
Can it be used on interior vinyl/plastic trim ?
Hey George, yes it can be used on trim and interior plastics. I have seen detailers even using it on those expensive dashboard screens like Teslas, etc.
Does this work with a uni 50/50 pad
Awesome! I look forward to trying this combo. Did you guys ever find Levi's 20 minute polish video from his FB live? If not, maybe you should recreate it 😁
Here you go. Search Levi's page on FB, then tap videos at the top and this one shows up.

@@jeffc6832 thank you so much!
Does the one step remove light scratches with filler or are you actually buffing and correcting with the Uno?
The waxes may have some filling effects, but if you do an IPA wipe on your test spot you will be able to see the correction that it is providing. Rupes has some webinars on their TH-cam channel that have a lot of info. With the right technique, this can provide a lot of correction from what I've seen.
@@jeffc6832 thanks for responding. 👍💯
What about Uno Pure and removing it with Bead Maker?
Can you apply Uno protect by hand?
I did not use rupes uno protect, but used what I had to achieve the same results that you described using mckees 37 Hi def paint sealant, my sisten-in-law swears I went and got her another car!!!!!
Is it normal for beadmaker to attract dust alot or did I do something wrong ??🤦♂️🤦♂️
Trust me, you did nothing wrong. They are now changing the way it's applied. They first said that you had to use a lot so it can cross link. Now they are saying spray a little on a towel so it doesn't have any issues, what about the cross linking 🤔. They just want to keep Selling it. I don't use it anymore because you have to use it in a climate control area. I'm using the rest of mine to coat the inside of my toilets
@@brianballenger36 so do the number 2’s now slip down the back with ease?
Can do the same with Uno Advance?
The wipe off of Uno protect already it effortless. It literally cant come off easier then it already does
Have you guys tried Play Maker AIO?
Can I coat with Gtech CSL after using UNO Protect? That was my plan and then to follow up with Beadmaker after the next wash.
If you do this the csl won't bond properly and will have a short life, csl is designed to bond to bare paint, if you use panel wipe on the uno you will remove the waxes and sealants. Here's an idea, coat with csl then top with beadmaker, it might work, it might not.
Thats what UNO Pure is for...
Any updates on the durability?
Would you be able to use a consumer grade ceramic like Proje CQuartz Lite instead of a spray sealant?
No. If you're doing a ceramic coating, you need to have bare and clean paint.
How would bead maker even bond to the surface when you are applying it on top of an all in one. Sorry but i doubt you'd see any longevity out of this.
I see everyone using bead maker and when I use it it’s streaks like crazy :/
11:38 Im trying this process this weekend
Love those product combo videos can't wait to try that combination
Does Meg´s M21 work with Bead Maker?
I did this on Monday on an RV
Didn't know we had to leave Uno on the paint to cure so I would say it stayed on for about 5 minutes and used beadmaker to take off residue because it's what I had on hand lol
"oh Josh, like, stop texting me at work, like you know I can't take home a bottle of Bead Maker and spray it over my body dude". "Chat later, because I've got to go". (Text comes back). "Oh Josh, you are so nasty". "No I won't bring home a bottle of Uno". "Look everyone can see me on the video, texting on work time, I've got to go" "Love you"."No I love you more".........................(Bites lip whilst working out how to get the bottle of Bead-Maker home).
That gloss and she ne is killer actually a two step
If 20 minutes is the setup time that Rupes recommends then Rupes needs to include the 20 minute setup time on the bottle instructions. All the instructions says is "... Allow the product a few moments to setup..." What is the definition of a few moments? A few moments means different time frames to different people.
Can you top it off with a wax?
I would say 99% yes. Not that i have tried but wax will go over anything.
No way I’d keep a clients car for 4 hours after I’m finished just to apply something like BeadMaker lmao 🤣
This adds steps. Use 3 towels to remove, UNO protect is so slick by itself and easy to remove. Applying BeadMaker seems like a total waste of time.
This is great but it’s not a new idea 100% , in fact for years body shop guys had been using a detail spray to loosen up compound that has dried and got hard to get off. But that’s the body shop so the intent was obviously different. On mobile jobs we’d do this to make one final wipe down working outside in the elements for efficiency. But back then there was no all in one , again it was to break down the sealant residue with a little moisture. Same here but it’s a family chemical component in the said polish and spray that make them work. Polymers for polymers , SiO2 for SiO2 and ceramic for ceramic. In this case a all in one shares a similar chemical that will bond together waxes do the same. So let’s say someone used a wax to finish up a job , a spray wax ( not sealant ) just a wax might adhere. In this case the uno project accepts BeadMaker as it’s polymer and now what you get is a better looking finish that may last a little longer thanks to uno adding it’s durability agents to Beadmaker as it’s applied and now beadmaker last longer.
Great marketing video! lmao
Is there any benefit to letting Uno Protect set for the 4 hours and then spraying a coat of Beadmaker on top?
Kinda like layering?
Bead maker was my go to product until it fogged up when it's humid out
I thought in one of the videos Levi says no water or wetnifir 4 hours
I worked that out 20 years ago lol
Would Bead Maker play nice with GlossCoat???
Here is my plan
- Wash car and chemical decon
- Meguairs clay using ONR
- Correct few panels using Griots Garage Correcting Cream with Rupes yellow pads
- Polish whole car using Meguairs 210 with Rupes yellow wool pads fast arm speeds
- Wipe car with PS paint prep
- GlossCoat
- Bead Maker a couple of hours later
I'd consider doing the finish polishing with foam instead of wool, as foam tends to leave a finer, more uniform finish.
Or, you might be able to get away with doing everything with M210 on the yellow wool.
danlc95 maybe he working on hard to medium paint type
@@matttopp5515 - That's true.
You can top Gloss Coat with Bead Maker, but I would wait until it has fully cured (like a couple months). Gloss Coat should be topped with Opti-Seal after a couple hours to help protect it while it cures. It is also always recommended to use the prep product from the company that manufactured the coating, so Optimum Paint Prep would be best in this case. P&S Paint Prep -> P&S Inspiration, GTechniq Panel Wipe -> CSL, etc.
What cooling towel was Levi wearing during the 1-step?
Eagle Edgeless 365 blue towels i believe.
Guys, I'm a fan and all you're showing here makes sense. But, please, don't call Beadmaker a sealant. It's a great gloss and slickness enhancer detailer with synthetic polymers for short term protection. Upselling it as a sealant will confuse and upset people already using true spray sealants. Also, Auto Fanatic's Secret Weapon is a similar AIO and removal is recommended to be done using their Beadmaker equivalent called 007. Again, I liked the video but not sure if I agree with how you're promoting Beadmaker. All the best from the UK.
@@theragcompany I get that the line between products has been blurred much over the last 2-3 years and it is getting increasingly difficult to differentiate detailers from spray waxes and sealants. I just don't see Beadmaker as a true sealant because its main focus is to add shine and slickness. Protection is a bonus, IMO. Keep up the great work.
If BM is considered a sealant, why does it last a month at the most
@@brianballenger36 all depends on how you care for it. If you keep using it regularly as a drying aid it can keep working a year or more. At that point it should be stripped off and the paint decontaminated, but it would still be providing protection.
Make another video how hydrophobic it is
I don't understand what levels of effort are applied when using a buffer to apply the UNO. Are you trying to correct at all or are you just applying UNO as if it is a Wax?
@@theragcompany Thank you, I will. I am obviously not understanding how to polish a car with UNO.
Anyone ever try uno protect with a microfiber cutting or finishing disc Meguiars pad? Would it finish ok ???
