OK ...I bought the UDM and regret the decision ...I wish I had bought the PC ...the fit/finish of the UDM is something I would expect from Harbor Freight. PC is a more 'quality' feeling tool. JMHO, >^..^<

OK ...let's assume that it does have beeswax ...would that cause issues with additional coats of SG? FWIW ...I usually avoid products that use 'technobabble' (marketing hype) ...I did pick up some Meguiars Deep Crystal (IIRC) car wash from WalMart ...it didn't mention a ''conditioner". >^..^<

I have seen some car wash soap advertised as a wash AND conditioner. Will this "conditioner" have any effect over AIO/SG .....or ....will it put a 'coating' on the car that will prevent additional applications of SG from bonding? thanks, >^..^<

Applying AIO is so easy I always do it by hand ...it wipe off very easy as well ....SG is another story ...I have found that waiting 24 hours before I remove it helps MUCH. >^..^<

It is binary 1=1 2=10 3=11 4=100 5=101 6=110 7=111 8=1000 9=1001 did that help ...or confuse you more. >^..^<

I just ordered BMW touch up paint ...it came with a clear coat ...my car doesn't have a clear coat. Should I use just the base ...or add the clear as well. thanks, >^..^<

Harbor Freight has Nitrile gloves ...and you can usually find them on sale for ~$8 for a box of 100. They have a light textured surface and are a nice thickness. YMMV >^..^<

If I use Klasse AIO on my glass ...then clean with Stoners will it remove the AIO? What is safe for glass cleaning when using AIO? thanks, >^..^<

OK ...after receiving my UDM / Menzerna kit last week I have gotten started detailing the BMW. I started with a thorough washing then a claying. It is then that I noticed how many rock chips I had. I continued with the detailing / buffing and put on a coat of Klasse AIO and 2 coats of SG...

If you can't afford to pay cash ...you can't afford it. Save your $$$ a little while ...you will be better off in the long run. >^..^<

Thanks for the replies. I have not talked to Meghan ...I just chalk this up to experience. I realize now that I should have bought a 'name brand' tool. I am pickier than most when it comes to things like this. I still stand by my comparison to Harbor Freight ...I paid MORE for the UDM ...and...

I guess I should have stated ...the weather stripping goes on the tag. Excellent idea about the O rings. >^..^<

Thanks for the replies. My impression of the UDM is something I would expect from Harbor Freight ...overall it just feels / looks 'cheap'. Being a musician, I am sensitive to fit / finish / feel and appreciate (expect) a quality tool / instrument. As budman3 said ...I only have around 4 hours...

Being an audiophile I always install a nice system in my car ...and don't want the tag buzzing. I always use a layer of generic Dynamat on the back of the tag ...then go to Lowe's / Home Depot and find some "closed cell" weather stripping 3/4" wide x 3/8" thick ...I run 5-6 strips vertically so...

I recently bought the UDM (and Menzerna kit) ...I must say that I'm quite unhappy with the UDM. The first thing I noticed when I removed it from the box is that it was not nearly as ergonomically friendly as the PC. I had used a PC on a couple of occasions but had never had 'hands on' with the...
