I've got a question too. I got the UDM instead of the PC and my backing plate was already installed. Am I good to go or do I need to adjust or do something to it before I use it for the first time? |

Sometimes I wish my pc would die, I've dropped it in water, on the ground many times, nothin'. Putting it to scrub work won't even break this tool. |

Marchese- I wouldnt use the PC on level 6. Level 6 is going to vibrate and shake alot no matter what. I never run my PC above 5 EVER for this reason and because the polish dries way too fast and doesnt give you enough time to work the polish. Also- I dont have a washer on my PC and it works fine.

A rotary creates friction and the heat generated from the friction gets directed right down onto the paint. A PC is the opposite, the friction geneates heat and that heat goes straight up into the backing plate. If the pad does not freely spin it is either because the pad isn't flat on the surface, you are applying way too much pressure or there is an increase in friction due to the missing spacer. So if one of these three things occured while using the PC, is most likely the cause of the BP failure. It looks to be that the BP heated up a lot, softened a little and the threading came out. |

^ That is very true- when I change pads on my PC I always notice the backing plate is extremely hot.
