98 BMW 528i IP, PO85RD UPP
Here is a 98 BMW 528i with 180,000 miles
Been practicing with a rotary for a couple of months now....figured this would be a good start vehicle.
Typical "Gas station Car Wash" induced spiderwebbing and water spots
Products:
Menzerna IP LC orange pad 1500-1800rpm
Menzerna PO85RD LC white pad 1200-1500rpm
4Star UPP
Before shots:
Test spot - one pass with IP @ 1500rpm and PO85RD 1200rpm
After:

I have the Makita 9227. I like it, there is a learning curve (and I'm still learning  ) & I still use my PC and 4" pad for awkward spots. I am using the PC less and less as I get more comfortable with the rotary though.

I know, it's one of the few sealants I like on black.

That last shot shows it off nicely! Colorful reflection of the tree in the fender, silky finish to the tires, clean BMW wheels 
Great job! |

Great work blkyukon! The rotary is plenty fun and fast once you get the hang of it.
Are those water spots, pits or micromarrs in the afters?
That last shot looks pro .

Thanks....Sean, they do look like micromarring but they are pits and chips... 180,000 miles has taken it's toll on the hood.

Another talented PC user switching over to a Rotary...
Looks great! Bimmer paint is pretty hard.
