Thanks

When I got my Makita- it was right up there with sliced bread! But like Aurora40 said - you'll have that "oh my God" moment when you see the paint peel right off a plastic trim piece and then you'll realize that you aren't rotary master - time to respect the machine, learn from your mistake and move on. My situation is I detail part-time, I get a lot of my business from a friend that sells used (really used) cars. I'm scared to put the rotary on these, the few times I did, I felt like an elephant walking on eggshells. The clear was so thin already, I was nervous as hell that I would burn right through it. I've found some light polish (Malco Nano) or Poliseal - both used on a orange LC pad on the PC works good, and has a nice safety net. I want to move up to a Cyclo, if you're on the fence about a rotary - consider a Cyclo, they're around $263-265 and Danase offers free shipping.
