    Re: Old School Autopian Check In !!!

    Hey David,

    Bob here. I retired in January but still like to keep my hand in... So, I`ve been using the Bosch GET65-5N Dual-Mode Random Orbit Sander - Short review: It spins the right direction in forced rotation - the same as the rotary. I know a lot of detailers have abandoned the rotary but for those of us who started out with Sioux polishers and still like to cut with some enthusiasm it`s nice to have a machine that lets us use all that muscle memory we`ve developed over the years. This machine runs smoother than other forced rotation machines because the orbit is enough to eliminate the swirl but not so much that it kicks back a lot of vibration. Also, it has plenty of RPMS to get work done.

    If you reply back, do me a favor and share what compounds and polishes you like with foam pad.

    All the best.

    I don`t even remember the last time I was here. So busy working, riding, got married a couple years ago, just moved as well. Lots of trips between Arlington and Arizona and to Cincinnati where both my kids have settled. Even to Puerto Rico where my wife is from. And so many Facebook detailing groups. Don`t even visit many of them anymore due to lack of time.

    Lost my username and see that another user was able to grab it in the meantime, but I used to post as BlackSunshine from 2004-2008 or so.

    BCgreen checking in. Wintering in AZ makes it easier to keep the cars clean, just dusting every other day, no need for an actual wash.
