newbie here...looking to get a polish machine which one?

[WillyLin]

im just newbie here and want to do something more on my car,
now using a 6" wal mart polisher...
looking to get a ~$200 polisher, but donno which one should i get.. there's PC 7424, and UDM, and Makita 9227, and i don't know which one is better for me..

im just a college student and loving the cars, usually wash my car twice a week by the self service car wash, (i don't have a garage tho living in a apt now..) wax my car sometime with the wal mart polisher.. i usually use the 12v DC > 110v AC on my car and work by the street..

my question is if im willing to spend about $200 on the polishing machine(included the pads and the backing plate) ... which one should i get?

thanks ...

i am a noob too but opted for the ultimate detailing machine kit from autopia, its 219 with pads and polish. and dont forget to put "autopia" at the checkout to receive 10 percent off.

it works great for me

A UDM would be a good choice and a definite upgrade from your current Wal-Mart polisher. If you want to save some $$$$ Danase has some for $99.95 plus shipping: "If anyone is interested in a used UDM let me know. I have a few of them. They are ones customer's bought and sent back because they wanted something different. They come with everything.
$99.95 plus shipping.":

Used - Like New UDM's for sale! - DetailingForums.com

I'm sure he could fix you up with a package that would include some pads too. You won't find a vendor that is more honest or offers better service than Bob (Danase).

UDM/PC X3

As much as I love using my Mikita, for a newbe I would get the PC or UDM. It has a much shorter learning curve and almost no risk of damaging your paint if you do a little research on how to use it.

so i read many said that UDM is better than PC, by the power and the noise... and that 99.95 DUM sounds good... how can i get that one .... here's my email willy_smart@hotmail.com

I just recently picked up the UDM and found it to be easy yet effective to work with. If you are new to the detailing game go with the UDM . It is user friendly and safe enough that you can test new products and pads without getting in over your head and ruining paint.

You may not be able to work as fast or correct in every situation, but at least you are greatly improving the defects that are all ready there.

I am more than impressed with the results of the UDM.
