To me the rotary is the heavy machinary required to remove deeper paint defects "fast" so that the DA can do its job even faster "jewling" the paint ! |
If you are above average with a rotary you will save time. If you are average you wont save time. If you are below average then you'll take longer with a rotary as you'll be chasing holograms all day long.
An above average user of a rotary will be able to jewel the paint providing more gloss than any DA polisher could provide. An average rotary user will probably jewel the paint better with a DA buffer. A below average rotary user cannot jewel, they hologram and a DA will be much better for them.
My skill level is only average so like yourself i quite often finish with a DA polisher.
This is why i am a big fan of the
Flex 3401. For the average or below average user a flex will provide quicker and better results than a rotary can due to their skill level. The only people who say a rotary is better than a flex are those who are above average users.
Working conditions also compound the difficulty of a rotary buffer. If you work outside, have poor lighting or have to do quick details then a rotary can be difficult to master. You'll either have to finish with a DA or user a flex which will hologram less.
