maersk Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Can one of these machines be used in stead of a PC? Do standard velcro pads just stick on? It has variable speed and a dual action but the 'throw' is measured in millimetres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelwind101 Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Hmm!! Sounds intreasting, i dont know if it can be used but it seems similar in operation. It needs to accept a standard backing plate to hold the polishing pads. How much are they?? I think the UDM (will or is) retailing for 99 pounds. There are Cyclo's (dual headed, fixed speed) polisher in plastic instead of metal for around 140 on Ebay with pads. Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian_m Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 The UDM isnt available yet Anyone have any idea when it will be?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 I have a PEX sander its not bad a polisher and is realy light but has no where near the cutting ability as a rotary as its oscilates more than it spins. It can bring out a decent shine but for heavy paint correction you'll need a PC or rotary to help break down the polish+++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelwind101 Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 I hadent even heard of this machine!! Im in the USA and the UDMS are avalible here so i dont know what could be delaying the release. I have heard a few complaints that the on off button is way to easy to accidently press while loading the pad. MESSY!! Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maersk Posted August 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 SKA where did you source your pads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 These sanders have the hook and loop system and are around 5" in diameter; I've used both Meguiars polishing pad(6" ish) and menzerna polishing pads (5") which i got from www.cleanyourcar.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maersk Posted August 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 Thanks for that - I have been contemplating using it as a ppolisher for some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
