    Hey guys,

    I just used the above combo and it's great for all the little nooks, crannies and awkward spots that a bigger buffer (rotary, flex 3401, etc) cannot fit in without doing damage.

    I used this for the above bumper trim, the small thin pillars, and the area of paint (usually no more than 6 inches) above the door handles.

    Don't throw away your pc/udm, because for full correction jobs you're still going to need them.

    Nice...I've even thought about going straight to a 3.5" BP and some 4" pads for my UDM to tackle A-pillars, sideview mirrors, etc. instead of awkwardly angling/holding my 3401.

    That would be better for even smaller areas. I just decided go with a low-pro pad. It's easier to control and it delivers really great results. I'll post up some show and shines when I finish snapping pictures.

    Cool. I know I have a couple of low-pro 5.5" freebie pads lyin around. I'll try those out before I spend more $$$ on a BP and 4" pads.

    Throw about your UDM, but keep the PC! I still use it, a great tool.

    Don't have a PC...I don't mind having to deal with the vibes at speed 6 on the UDM. I've actually been able to get in some tight spots with the Flex.

    I have used Dust2Glory's once and that was probably the worst vibrations I have ever experienced with a polished. It was downright horrendous. I couldn't even finish a single panel...
