The biggest use I find for the Festool Rotex is paint correction on plastic body parts: bumpers, lower rocker panels,
headlights, mirror housings, etc. The unit is very versatile for those parts and I don't have to worry about burning the paint/plastic. I've done my share of burning with a DeWalt Rotary LOL.
Here's an example of Festool use. This BMW 745 Li (black metallic) had a very nasty scrape and gouge in the rear bumper. In fact, the dealer was considering a full repaint of the bumper. I used the Festool and a yellow pad + compound in rotary mode and random orbit mode and decreased the aggressiveness until all I had left were the gouges that I started filling in with touch up paint.

For my use, the Festool is a very valuable work tool. I use it somewhere on every BMW that I recondition.
