1st time using UDM - some questions

[nysimonsez]

Yes, my UDM has a washer behind the backing plate, it came that way.

I checked my UDM again and all is fine, not defective. Spinning slower as I push more pressure and the spindle is fine.

I also just checked the panel that I polished again and it looked good, I'd say 99% of swirls are gone compared to the other panels so it actually did work. I must've just used way too much polish so I couldn't break them all down (even for 10 mins).

thanks much guys for your help and advice and really looking forward to reviving the paint on my daily driver.
