Don`t exactly know where to put this , so , Mod`s feel free to move







1)Ease of use:

Rotary:Time & care needed to do it right

ROB:Pick it up and begin using it

Hand::doh

2)Likelihood of paint damage:

Rotary:Improper use will cause swirls and excessive paint

removal

ROB:You realy have to try to harm the finish

Hand:Minimal other than streaking

3)Results:

Rotary:The best with the highest gloss and deepest shine

ROB:Much better than manual but can not compare to Rotary

Manual:Uneven at best

4)Effectiveness:

Rotary:Potentially eliminate virtually all damage

ROB:Paint much better than before, but some damage will

remain

Hand: Forget it

5)Learning curve:

Rotary:Better get a PHD in discology and do it on someone

elses car

ROB:Requires verry little training and experience to master

Hand:open the bottle (of wax) or beer, pour it on(the wax)

and get at it

6)Amount of chemical needed:

Rotary:Requires slightly more than a ROB but not as much as

by hand

ROB:Verry little product needed.Cut the recommended amount

by 25%

Hand:Better get extra `cause you`re going to need it

7)Primary advantage:

Rotery:Best results especially on heavily damaged paint

ROB: Effective & efficient: easy to use and even smaller

amount of product needed

Hand:No equipement investment required

8)Primary disadvantage:

Rotary: Higher probability of paint damage & much higher

learning curve

ROB:Somewhat limited results compared to rotary

Hand: it takes too darn long

Thanks Christiaan!



Then we`d have too many sticky threads :D



I just think they should have the one forum that the ultra special informative threads get moved to.
