I'd love to get one, but everyone just seem to offer their own opinion on why I'm not ready to use one seeing as all I used is a DA (PC/UDM), which also gives me the impression that Rotary polishers are only for people who know what they're doing.
I was trying to learn more about it, the links posted in this thread are all dead, so I really don't know where to start. |
I can help you out a bit on the confusion. Get a rotary. It'll be the most usefull tool in your arsenal. There's really is no big
mystery in using a rotary. I see a thousand post on here about people actually afraid to use one. It's not some sort of bomb. It's a tool. And it's very easy to use. Start out on a low speed and flat surface. The key to using a rotary is being able to feather the trigger around tight spots. and just really know your products. If you know your products the risk of burning or messing up paint is extreamly minimal. I would honestly say the only people that burn paint using a rotary either are doing it intentionally or just don't know the products they are using. You will have to pay more attention using a rotary. I tend to keep a slight edge up when using it. The more you use one the more familiar you're going to get with what it's going to do. But don't be afraid of using one. It's not hard and makes detailing alot easier.
