There has to be a more clever detailing joke in here somewhere....

going back to the original post- I think it's important to realize that the UDM or PC is designed to remove and reduce micromarring, swirls and mild defects on cars in mostly good condition. It isn't designed to remove pitting, several oxidation or acid rain etching. Some of those defects can't be removed with a wool pad and rotary. It sounds as if the UDM is a step up from the PC powerwise and if that is the case it's a good deal.

Wow, $200 for a PC with a little more "oomph"

I didn't pay $200 for my PC with numerous pads/backing plates/bonnets, etc.

That's a hard sell for me, but I guess I could see myself making it happen if we can get some reviews on the machine that dont have to do with the weight/vibration/cord or on/off switch that prove this machine to be superior to the PC.

A UDM costs $150, not $200. And you use the same backing plates/pads as you would with a PC, so it's not like you have to replace everything.

I have only used the UDM twice now, but I like it. With the PC, I could use KAIO or Vanilla Moose at 6, and polish for 1-2 minutes a section, but with a UDM, speed 6 is too powerful for those products and they flash way to quickly. Speed 3-4 is nice for those products with the UDM, so I'm guessing with the UDM, speed 4 is about equal to speed 6 on the PC. That is my non-scientific logic of why I think the UDM has more power than a PC. I'll report back once I do some heavier polishing on darker colors.

One thing I noticed this morning, when I was using the UDM on the hood, roof and rear deck it powered fine. Now when I used it on the verticle panels it bogged down. Its as if there is a gravity switch in there that made it so that it lost power. Anyone else experience this?

I think that he was talking about the v2.0 that would be $50 more.

Exactly.

I just don't see the logic of getting one right now with so many issues with it, and nobody has done any comprehensive review of the thing so i'm still waiting for that as well.

+1 exactly why I asked when the V2.0 was going to be realeased!

Im not about to invest 150$ on a machine that has more problems than my pc.

Im really glad i didnt jump on the bandwagon and get the first model. Ill defintly be waiting for V 2.0!
