GetWithIt Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 right on are you doing everything by hand or do you have a porter cable. No more doing stuff by hand for me...... ..........I picked up a UDM (ultimate detail machine) package a couple of years ago in a group buy on another forum............It has a dual action head that orbits and rotates......It's done a great job, but I'll probably pick up a PC later this year...........

I'd say save your money and use that UDM until it dies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diggerdan11 Posted April 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Thanks for the Advice. They Guy seemed a bit Crazy to me, and for a guy guy who supposedly restores cars for a living he was driving a real POS with faded paint. If i see him again I will just smile and nod Yeah Im going to just continue doing what I always have done. Wash, Claybar, Polish (sometimes), and wax BTW what is a good polish to use? I tried some turtle wax kind a while back and i felt that it actually did more damage to the paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

streatsboy Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 I use 3M products and swear by them! Here is my final step POLISH. I use it with a blue Ultrafine pad on an orbital buffer. Last but not least I use this wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex.t Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 if you do proper washing and take care of it, it can last as long as other paint colors just takes a little more care because black shows imperfections so easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS Silv Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 (edited) no sense in getting the PC unless your UDM dies on you... the PC is essentially the same type of machine, compatible with the same pads, and doesn't do anything that the UDM can't. I'd say save your money and use that UDM until it dies. When your UDM dies, don't waste your money on a PC, get yourself the Flex. IMO, it's worth the money, safer than a rotary, and does the job quicker/better than the PC.

alex.t Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 i think your backwards on this one the pc will never harm your paint and cant heat the up the clear enough to wreck the paint while the flex will harm your paint if you dont know how to use it, but by all means if you can use a flex go ahead it will faster then the pc 7424 just not as safe. heres a great video on how safe the pc is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have to be a complete idiot to "wreck" your paint with the flex. The Flex was actually the first polisher I have used, period. I am not the smartest person, but I did some simple research and did not have a single problem. I guess I can't say the same for the rest.

alex.t Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 (edited) well i guess i cant say anything on peformance wise because ive never used a flex. but im sure its aweseome, but the pc is the safest machine to use for guys just starting out on doing there own paint correction. its a worry free workhorse that will get the same results as the flex but might take abit longer. i wouldnt see any need to jump right up to a flex unless your detailing cars all the time, just my opinion i might be wrong but its just what i know, ive seen pics of your truck and it does a great job, i guess its personal preference when it comes to tools right.
