You mean you guys aren't using safety glasses/goggles when polishing?  | |

That is exactly why I notified the correct persons. To bring it to there attention. The UDM should not have been released with that switch. A quick group of users prior to realease would have found the problem right away. Now they want me to send in my UDM and get a full refund. That is not the answer to the problem. It is the switch! I love the UDM except for that fact. Quote: |

could you remove the switch and install your own radio shack switch? It would look ghetto but I'm a function over form guy (i know right, what am I doing on a detailing forum?) | |

Yes you could. However living in a rural area why should I have to pay $9.00 for gas, $5.00 for the switch and use my time to go pick it up? It is not my fault the design is flawed. There are methods for product recall / replacement. It's not if someone is going to get hurt, its when. Judging by the post here, if one of the top detailers on this forum has had a problem, then I know it is a real concern. Quote: |

The switch was one thing, but the part that annoyed me the most about my UDM is the casing is misaligned so the handle only screws in on the right side. I'm use to having it screwed in on the left side like when I use a PC. | |

Judging by the post here, if one of the top detailers on this forum has had a problem, then I know it is a real concern. | DavidB has already addressed the switch issue, and is working on an update. A short-term solution (a felt pad to increase the slide-resistance of the switch) and a long-term solution (redesigned switch) will be made available. Check the http://autopia.org/forum/ultimate-de...tml#post962729 thread for more info on the switch and other upgrades.

So what I'm gathering here is I should just stick with my PC since I already have it.... not really worth changing out for the UDM??
