That Makita BO6040 seems to get lukewarm reviews at best when people actually do a car or two with it. I forget the specific complaints, but I remember that Mike Phillips was none too impressed with it when he tried it out. Sorta a "jack of all trades, master of none" thing, IIRC.

BurlyQ- Heh heh, we might be saying/experiencing the same stuff, only expressing ourselves differently. I certainly agree about the ss not showing everything the way b/c does, and in many ways I prefer the look of a good ss anyhow; I remember the cars a local funeral home had back in the '60s-'70s, best looking black paint I can think of.

I think of holograms as just a specific type of marring and yeah, they are much more commonly seen on b/c all right. Not like they're gonna show up on light color ss unless you *really* mess up! IMO most single stage just isn't "bright-glossy"/reflective enough for holograms to be much of a problem.

The PC *is* a great companion to the rotary, huh? I prefer the Cyclo myself, but having some kind D/A is just *so* handy compared with doing everything by rotary. Just as the rotary is *so* handy when you need its power.
