Please share your thoughts on this. |
Consider those "dangers" that you're aware of...just what *will* you do if you get holograms?
That "if skilled" part might bite you. How will you attain that level of skill? It won't come from doing a few beaters/scrap panels as individual paints respond very differently (there are some super-soft paints and other situations where I'd *never* advise the use of a rotary).
While a few people use nothing but the rotary, no way would *I* approach detailing that way (and I *did* it that way long ago, on other people's cars). Consider that Mike Phillips has been using a rotary for over 30 years and is good enough to be the product application guy for
Meguiar's. When *he* says he needs to have a PC/DA and not just the rotary, IMO that's a big clue.
