Well my Hitachi rotary and flexible backing plate came in today!

My car wasn't clean, but I quickly QD'd a couple of areas so I could practice. Considering I've never used a rotary before, I think my first outing was a success. I used a finishing pad and PO106FF starting at ~800 rpm and then at ~1200 rpm. The finish was smooth, clear, and free of holograms.

Overall, the rotary was easy to use, but it seemed to "tug" a little when moving the same direction it spins. How can I minimize this?
