Accumulator, I never use a rotary if I`m not wetsanding. I use a GG6 or MK II 15. But when I`m wet-sanding lacquer with orange peel so bad it`s impossible to see my reflection, Removing sanding marks with a DA, microfiber pads, and a heavy compound on lacquer, for me the residue control is a nightmare and I`m constantly stopping. Plus a rotary is so much easier to use than a DA and has so much less vibration over extended polishing sessions.
But the biggest drawback when using a long throw or an 8mm is hitting emblems, seams, hitting areas with protruding chrome trim, etc. I hardly ever have to tape off because using a rotary I can get extremely close to trim and emblems without actually hitting them (that`s primarily why I follow up the wool compounding step with foam before switch over to the rotary). I can`t imagine how I would remove 100% of sanding marks without a rotary, an extension, and a 2 inch foam pad)
Thank you guys for all the great feedback!!
