The ONLY place I see its benefit may be on thin paints that a 15mm or 21mm LT-DA may be too aggressive. Thin paints are becoming the new norm on NEW vehicles, as Mike has pointed out with his Paint-Thickness Gauge (PTG) readings.
I cannot see this polisher being used for ultra-fine polishing (burnishing/jeweling) or applying sealants and liquid waxes , BUT maybe I am wrong. Maybe that is its forte and purpose.
I was hoping it would be similar to Adam`s Mini-Swirl Killer with its 12mm throw AND accept 4" backing plates that would make it easy to handle for novices and hobbyist who do not use a polisher on a regular basis, yet still have the "muscle" (Amp power) to correct when needed. That is something the PC-DA does not have.
Will 2.0 version have a 10mm throw as a compromise?? (GEESH, let this version work its way through the detailing community first before making suggestions for improvements)
