Need help in purchasing a rotary and pads/product

**tuflon** · 08-02-2010, 10:07 PM

Hey guys, newb here. Been using a PC for years and never had the need for a rotary. Now I just purchased a new car and feel like the PC isnt getting the job done. So I would like to buy a rotary, pads, and product. Could someone give me a basic guide to what I need to purchase? Thanks guys!

I`m a rotary guy, but why do you need a rotary for a new car? Get the Meg`s G110v2 or the Griots RO these machines will get any marring off your paint with the right polish and pads. You will probably only need the Wolfgang twins, but the Meg`s 105/205 will cut more if you need it. You might also consider the new Optimum Spray Compound and Spray Polish. Advantage=no dust. As far as pads, stay with the 5.5" pads for a DA.

I like the 6" Lake Country Kompressor pads for both PC and Rotary.

Arethe G110v2 and Griots RO different machines than the PC? I thought they were basically the same.

I really like System 51 polishes and pads for rotary. Water based, so even if you do get sling its really easy to clean up.

The Griot`s has a good bit more power than the PC. And then there`s the forced-rotation Flex 3401, which has basically replaced rotaries for me. Haven`t touched either of mine since I got the Flex.

But if you want a rotary, I`d choose between a) a Makita (which I have) or a Dewalt, or else b) a Metabo (also have one of those). The first two are kinda similar, the Metabo is kinda different; both have their pros/cons IMO.
