Exclamation Detailed:350Z/UDM review...56k no way!

I finally got a chance to do a review on UDM. Thanks again, Meghan for letting me win. For those of you who don't what UDM is, it's a more powerfull (then PC7424) detailing machine that removes defects faster/yet vibrates less. First thing I did is I switched backing plate for Edgee 2000 adaptor (yes, I like Edge 2000 pads better, and really wanted to test this machine with these pads). I decided to test UDM on my brothers 2003 350Z, as well as new XMT180 wax.

Here is the process:
Engine bay - ZEP citrus degreaser cut 1:1. Simply spray it on, let it sit for 5 minutes, spray a little more. Remove all stubborn dirt/grime with a green brush, and rinse. Wipe off anymajor water spills, spray on AA tire foam. Crank up the engine and let it bake.

Wash - Chemical Guys Citrus wash and gloss. Thanks again, Justin aka Orngez for sending me a sample of it. I'd have to say, I'm very impressed with it. I used about 2/3 oz in a bucket. Washed with white/yellow Shmitt.

Polishing - I really wanted to try Poorboy's PwS. I had that bottle for a while, but never really had a chance to try it. This was a perfect opportunity. car was not heavily swirled, just more areas. So I first tried it with Edge 2000 blue pad. Polish is very nice, but I still prefer XMT 360 over it. Maybe because 360 simply vanishes, almost not leaving you anything to wipe off (yeah, I'm getting lazy). But it still did a fine job. On heavier swirls I tried Menzerna PO106FF with green Edge 2000 pad, as well as on glass. There more I use PO106FF, the more I like it. When we talk about Menzerna polishes, nano polish is THE Menzerna. It removes defects quickly, glazing your surace at the same time. With UDM it works even better/faster then it does with PC. Final Polish I have in pictures, I did not use this time

Wax - XMT 180 by hand. Simply wipe it on, let it dwell for about 30 seconds, and sipe it right off with Cobra Indigo MF towel.

Final Wipe - Finish Kare 425 and MF towel.

interior - Klasse Leather and Vinyl cleaner/protectant on dash, FK RVl poly protectant leather and the rest of vinyl and rubber seals. Interior after pics were deleted...
now on to the pictures.

I love UDM! Amazing machine. Almost power of rotary in a fool proof DA polisher machine. It's a must for every detailer. Very very pleased. And I spent less time doing it. Paint was polished to perfection, and topping it off with XMT 180 which not only popped flakes, but also give paint deep dark look. Simply amazing wax.

UDM rocks!!!
