| UDM First Use Review
UDM Initial Thoughts I used my new UDM on my “test” vehicle which would be my silver 01 Jeep. The paint was swirl free so I thought I would try Menzerna FP, followed by Menzerna Glaze, and then my lsp. I used the UDM for all applications. Keep in mind this is an initial review having only used the UDM on one vehicle that did not have any paint correction needed. I just wanted to pass along my first impressions. This is comparing the UDM to the PC. Pro’s More power Less vibration No rattling Smooth operation Doesn’t bog down Less noise Easy to handle Con’s On/off switch housing is not recessed making it too easy to flip it on and off  The cord is way too short; I’m used to the PCHD with a 16 gauge 25 ft cord The UDM doesn’t have a flat edge like the PC; I found myself having to balance it every time I set it down Non Issues Ramp down time is longer when turning the UDM off The speed dial is opposite of the PC The numbers on the dial are black Overall I’m extremely happy with the UDM. Even after its first use I can see that my PC will probably not see too much action from now on. I know I’ll be reaching for the UDM for all of my details. The long cord on my PC spoiled me and although it's not a deal breaker on the UDM I'd really like to see a longer cord on it. Looks like I may need to run an extension cord to my extension reel, not ideal but workable. It surprised me at how much this one thing bothered me while detailing. I’m sorry that I didn’t have an eye popping detail that could show the UDM’s capabilities in this review. My thanks to the UDM users that have already posted those for us to see. Instead all I can offer at this point is my initial reaction to using the UDM.

Thanks Al for your review.
I too do not like the on/off switch, and the short cord.
