porter cable 7424 vs ultimate detailing machine 1000

[Matt_e]

looking to buy one of the above, both the same price as each other

which do you think is best and why

[tazmania_0345]

umm im very sure wilsy has got both so hes best to ask :y:

[kcsaxo]

i would go for the UDM 1000 as its going to be a UK version so no need for conversion. a lot of detailers are saying its just as good if not better than the PC.

[Matt_e]

whens it out here then

[hesslevtr]

udm is more powerfull and more warenty iirc

make sure u get the 240v udm the you wont need to buy transformers

the 240v isnt out yet though

[RedB]

when and where please lol? these look the nuts imo, need one for Trax

[Emma_ZS]

i want a porter cable too

[RedB]

Really want one now, seeing Willsy's and other cars on show

Mostly down to the respray but lush still

[BenSilverSaxo]

I would love to get one of these aswel, is any one on detailing world frequently? Maybe they could tell us about the relese date!!

[Cupra-Craig]

Just been thinking of getting a porter cable myself as UDM gives more vibration than the PC. Plus IMO the PC is better as less voltage so more safer.

[Emma_ZS]

we should get a group buy organised when they come out! lol

[bullit]

in our hands the difference is not gonna be noticeable. id shag it up with either one

i thought you couldnt really scratch your car with a porter cable if your careful?

[Clone]

You should't scratch it mate, it's burning the paint thats the main problem i think. Which is why the Pc is good for beginers like us, as it's always changing direction and doesn't heat the paint up too much. I think this is correct :/

barrett said he might be able to a group on a udm in september, because he's in south africa

udm would be good if it was a porter cable lol for beginners like me

[Chris_Ward_vtr]

[kcsaxo]

they are both orbital polishers which mean the same result and minimal risk of paint damage. its the rotary polishers that need some serious skill to master.

[Chris_Ward_vtr]

both look the same to me so i will probs just by the one thats cheapest at the time. already got a few transformers laying around the garage so a pc wont be a problem.

Sounds like a good idea to me, when are you planning on buying yours? Not sure how much money i will have left this month bcos i want to get the car lowered this month in time for trax.
They are both, 240v input with two 110v outputs,

quite soon it would work out 120 with the current exchange rate and that with pads, ask your dad if he wants to sell one

[Chris_Ward_vtr]

[Matt_e]

ok, pm if your dad wants to sell one of his transformers aswell

[Matt_e]

if you buy one on its own with pads it works out 129 delivered

[Cupra-Craig]

Thats not bad what about tax's?

[Matt_e]

read some you didnt pay because the they put its less than 5 dollars on the box or something like that

[Predator_R32]

im all oldskool baby, and i love the vibrations, they will both do the same job and imo buying a transformer is a good investment for use with other tools :y:

[Matt_e]

how do you get the 10 at screwfix?

[Predator_R32]

type email10 as the discount code mate :y:
