I learned on a Milwaukee rotary/wool pad back in the '70s, the days of single stage. I was one of those dealership prep kids but I did good work (if I do say so myself ), never messed anything up badly enough to need paint, and was the only guy that they let work on dark colors. But holograms aren't the same issue with ss that they are with b/c, and today I do my final polishing with the PC/Cyclo to make sure I finish up hologram-free.

IMO it's a matter of the individual operator. You gotta have a knowledge base to work from, and a certain mindset and degree of physical coordination. After not touching a rotary for ~20 years and having *never* used on on b/c, I took the Makita out of the box and used it on my beloved S8 without any problems, but that's me.
