right from Mike Phillip....sorry

As far as we know they are the same or similar enough products that you'll get the same results.

The big difference is "distribution"

Because we're a supplies to the refinishing industry our Professional Line is distributed through PBE warehouses and PBE stores.

Our Consumer Line is distributed through Hard Parts warehouses and Hard Parts stores.

Different markets, different customers, different ways that have evolved since the car was invented and stores started springing up to distribute products into the market place.

We know a lot of the people that read this forum don't understand that we've been in business for the majority of our history making product for the refinishing industry and we didn't start making consumer products until 1973, that's over 70 years later...

Also, the M135 is available in gallons.

Hope this helps...

^^^enjoy, if you liked uqd, you'll like 135

You know, I've read the same thing from Mike. Without making an official stance, I've found UQD to have more "water" in it than I found 135 to have.

I've also read through a few beta testers who had the #21 2.0, NXT 2.0, and 135 sent to them over the summer, they had felt UQD had a longer durability. Could this be all in their heads? I was slightly skeptical too, but taking a whiff of UQD, then smelling 135, and noticing the fragrance missing from 135, their story made sense.

Basically how a detail spray is made is quite simple.

You take a few silicones that cater to the effect you are looking for. Again PDMS is quite popular for its gloss agent. Then you find a solvent that will aid in the application/spreading process. Then you find an emlusifier to tie it all together. Once your concentrate is made, you then cut it, typically 50:1. Unless they were not consistant with their manufacturing, I was under the impression seemed to have more concentrate and less water. Unofficially assuming perhaps a 40:1 ratio.
