I got round to using my UDM polisher with SFX 1, 2 & 3 earlier today, have to say that i was impressed with the results, saying that the car hadnt been cleaned in over a year and i was impressed after it had been washed , got to get some SG and P21 soon as i need to do the corolla too.....hard work but worth it....im shattered

Looking very nice good job Cant believe it hasnt been cleaned in over a year

I know!! it was in a bad way, the thing is before that was probably a year before too!!....the inside hadnt been done for about two to say the dash was a bit dusty is an understatement.....and the windows.....i knew my tints were never that dark

thats a top job should of taken a photo before you cleaned it

Was going to, totally forgot

I think you was pressing a bit to hard as you've polished out your number plate.

nice job.

cheers Pete

Very Nice!

Did you find the UDM easy to control and use? I have read that they do vibrate quite abit while in use.

I saw your car @ a TDi LOC Dyno meet, defo much cleaner now mate. Top job

Ta mate, it wasnt too bad actually, yeap defo vibrates alot and my hands felt weird for a while after i used it, in terms of effort required, it not much easier than doing it by hand and still took a good few hours, i was shattered, but the results speak for themself



Cheers Woz, and that was months ago!!

Oooooh lovely and shiny - done a cracking job that has!

Cheers mate , my paint is in pretty good nick anyway, will see how it does on taking the swirls out of the corolla

Pretty. Looks really nice. Top job

im getting a biltema polisher, its meant to be a lot quicker at breaking the polish down and also it does not bog down or vibrate like most other polishers. its a bit big for tight places but otherwise fine and at about 25 pounds and already 220v it cant be beaten

only down side is you need to buy 2 pads as its a twin headed machine.

SHAZ: what do you mean there is not much difference doing it by hand?? it thats the case then something is wrong - either wrong polish or pad or both

is it a orbital or rotory polisher.

random orbit mate exactly the same as the UDM/porter + cable/ megs G220, but a fraction of the price...

Rob i meant in terms of how tired i was after doing it, still takes alot of time and effort....in terms of the depth and shine, no comparison ....let me know how you get on with the new polisher

ah right! thought u meant the final result..... i will let u know how the polisher goes , i stumbled across it last week and a mate of mine is in sweden now so he bought one for me today - its a strange looking machine thats for sure.......

Good stuff looks well

Bit of a rip-off of the original Cyclo which I use - www.cyclotoolmakers.com and www.thepolishingcompany.com
If you fancy splurging a bit more, get the adapters and double precision pads - an absolute Godsend, with even less vibration!
