JuneBug- Between the PC and the rotary, I'd say you're pretty well set as it is The Cyclo is a nice indulgence though

Im with you on this one. At least 90% anyway. I find it hard to imagine not having my Makita rotary in my arsenal when stubborn swirls become aggravating to the point where I have to post to get someone's help. Nothing beats a rotary when its time to get aggressive!

Re: No luck with swirls!! HELP

I think I am doing something wrong though--i have used the same pads and compounds on other cars that weren't nearly as bad without seeing any decent results as well. Guess I need to keep practicing.

Re: No luck with swirls!! HELP

Every car is different. That's why people get different opinions on the same polish - I'm still experimenting with finding a polish that: works consistantly 99% of the time, cost effective and the biggie - user friendly! I'm trying something new this weekend,the company is rarely discussed and after searching the forum, no one has used this polish before. Stay tuned...

Yeah, don't beat yourself up over differences in paint hardness

I often use the same products on the Audis that I use on the Mazda..but with the Mazda I can use them via PC whereas on the Audis I have to use them via rotary to do *milder* correction. Different paint can require different approaches.
