If I was you I would just get a UDM and order pads seperatly. Just my .02 cents though I think it will turn out to be a superb machine.

I would get the UDM starter kit from the same company that sells the kit you have there.

Thanks. What really is the big difference between the UDM and the PC??

The UDM has more torque and will help a bit more doing corrections than a PC.

much quicker at correcting swirls and its the same price essentially.

If you buy stuff individually and plan on getting a pc then check lowes. I bought one there last year for $99.
But yeah that udm is sounding pretty nice.

That`s a pretty complete package. You "might" be able to pull something similar together through various retailers at a lower cost, but for the time, effort and shipping that would go into doing that, it may just be easier to by the package. I`d also check into the UDM. Since you don`t already have a PC, it may be the better way to go now.

What kind of car will you be working on? The menzerna polishes for hard clearcoats seem to work for everyone with all types of paint, so while they`re a bit more expensive I would get them anyway and be confident with in purchase. I`m talking about the super intensive polish and po106FF. I also think 4" pads are almost a necessity, so I would get them with the small backing plate at the same time too.

BTW, teh 7424/7336 is discontinued at Lowes now. Has been for a little bit now...:sadpace:
But yeah, get the UDM kit. You will be a lot happier.
