On 90% of cars this is correct. Trying to correct the rock hard paint on my car with a UDM was a very frustrating experience. It took forever to get marring out. Now, wool and a rotary are my friends when my car has swirling. The UDM is now used for applying clearners, AIO's, glazes, LSP's, cleaning carpets with carpet brushes and when doing one step polishes on other peoples cars with paint not near as hard as my car's.

Very true Bert, but with proper washing and drying you won't have to bust out the rotary for six months. My point being, once the major flaws are corrected, maintaining is a breeze.

I started with a PC that my wonderful wife bought for me last year and never really used it. Never really knew how to be honest. This year, I learned and quickly hated the PC once I tried the Flex. This lead me to almost immediately ditch (sell) the PC and get a 3401. It is a night and day difference, even though I started by just working on my own cars.

I have only owned it a short period of time, but I have lots of experience using the PC in the previous details I have done and can tell you this machine is amazing. Thanks to Dwayne from AG and Bob from Flex for making time for me at SEMA to go over the benefits. These guys rock!
