One Step. Done.
Correct, refine and protect in a single application
Uno Protect collapses three stages into one - cutting light to moderate defects, polishing the surface to a high-gloss finish and sealing it with a durable protective layer. For busy detail shops, dealerships and auction prep, that efficiency is not a compromise, it is the point.
Why Uno Protect
Every step covered in one product
Correction, gloss and protection - no multiple-stage process required.

-
High-Gloss Finish
Polymer, silicone and carnauba blend delivers colour depth and a reflective gloss across all paint colours.
-
90-Day Protection
Leaves a durable protective layer that holds up for up to 90 days after a single application.
-
Machine Versatile
Compatible with random orbital, gear driven and rotary polishers so it fits any workshop setup.
How does it stack up?
Rupes Uno Protect vs a typical one-step polish
One-step products save time, but not all of them deliver on both correction and protection. Here is how Rupes Uno Protect compares to the kind of budget one-step polish you will find at most motor spares shops.

|---|---|---|
| Corrects light to moderate defects in a single pass | Yes | Yes |
| Protection durability of up to 90 days | Yes | No |
| Compatible with random orbital, gear driven and rotary polishers | Yes | Yes |
| Polymer, silicone and carnauba blend for colour depth and gloss | Yes | No |
| Cut level adjustable by pad selection alone, no product change needed | Yes | No |

Questions
Frequently asked
What defects can Rupes Uno Protect correct?
Uno Protect is formulated to remove light to moderate defects - think light swirl marks, fine scratches, water spot etching and oxidation. For heavy correction work with deep scratches or severe swirls, you would be better served with a dedicated cutting compound before finishing with Uno Protect as a final polish and sealant step.
Which machine polishers is Uno Protect compatible with?
Uno Protect is compatible with random orbital, gear driven and rotary polishers. Because it works across all three machine types, you can adjust your cut level by varying the machine, pad type and speed, giving you flexibility in how aggressively you remove defects before the product self-finishes.
How do I adjust the cut and finish level?
The source of adjustment is your pad and polisher combination. Pair Uno Protect with a medium or light cutting pad for more defect removal, or switch to a foam finishing pad for maximum gloss with minimal cut. Rotary movement with a cutting pad will increase aggression; a random orbital with a finishing pad gives a refined, gloss-ready result.
How long does the protective layer last?
The polymer, silicone and carnauba blend in Uno Protect provides a protective layer that lasts up to 90 days. This makes it an excellent choice for express services, pre-delivery work or any application where the customer wants a solid coat of protection without committing to a ceramic coating.
Is Uno Protect safe to use on all paint colours?
Yes. Uno Protect is suitable for use on all paint colours, including dark and black paint. The carnauba and polymer blend enhances colour depth rather than leaving a grey or white residue, and the product is designed to remove cleanly with minimal buffing effort.
What surfaces can Uno Protect be used on?
Uno Protect is designed for painted body panels. It is not formulated as a glass polish or a trim dressing, so stick to clear-coated paint surfaces for best results. If you are working around unpainted plastic trim, mask it off or remove product residue before it dries to avoid temporary staining.
Can I apply Uno Protect by hand?
The product is engineered for machine application with random orbital, gear driven or rotary polishers. While you could spread it by hand for a pure sealant layer on already-corrected paint, you will not get the same level of defect removal or finish refinement that machine application delivers. For full one-step correction and protection, use a machine.
Can Uno Protect be topped with a ceramic coating or additional wax?
Yes. Because Uno Protect contains carnauba and silicone, allow the surface to fully cure before applying a ceramic coating on top - typically 24 hours in a dust-free environment. If you are topping with a spray wax or synthetic sealant, a light panel wipe-down with an IPA solution will ensure the best bonding surface for the next layer.
