In Need of a Rotary Tutorial (NJ)

Hey guys, I've been practicing a lot with my PC lately on my car and clients cars. From what I've gathered, this machine is a capable unit, and just about dummy-proof (unless you drop it on the car, which I did ONCE and never again hopefully). However, it might be my skill level and/or product choices, but it just doesn't seem to cut it. Using this thing is so time-consuming and effort-full, that, except for small jobs, seems a bit silly.
In order to step up my game, I think i'll need to invest in a rotary and some lessons on how to use one. So, if anyone is in the South Jersey area, and could possibly spare some time to help out a fellow autopian, or if i could come out to a job with you and see what ya'll do, i'd love to get my hands dirty and learn at least a little about a new skill. Also I'd like someone to help me with my PC so that i can be more efficient with that as well, cuz i've seen some pretty damn good work done with PC's.

If you're really serious about getting some good training, give Kevin Farrell a call. He's based out of Rochelle Park and is one of the best detailers out there - he does training classes every month:
