    Re: To Rotary... Or Not to Rotary

    Rupes and the right pad and products , I sold my rotary a year ago. Yes it takes more time but I don`t do production work.

    Re: To Rotary... Or Not to Rotary

    Whilst the rupes system is a great thing, there is always a place for rotary and these days it`s not compounding so much as it is perfecting paint and going beyond using abrasives to enhance paint by machine.

    Just because all the defects are gone and its glossy doesn`t mean the paint can`t be made even better

    Time consuming yes, people buying that service often, no but having it there on offer and doing it once to ten times a year is fine by Me
    To some degree da has taken the artisanry out of the Industry? I love da but it can`t do it all and it`s not as much fun as a rotary at low speed

    Imagine if All some do in this industry in five years is one step or two and that`s it.good for making money but nothing special, unique or exclusive.

    Love doing ones a lot but not forever

    Re: To Rotary... Or Not to Rotary

    Seems like a rotary will do anything a da will do.

    seems like the rotary is the more versatile machine, if you just want one.

    also seems like a rotary works with some sense and a bit of respect toward the power of the machine.

    seem about right?

    All four types of machine polishers can do a lot. It`s up to the User which machines they use and with what services as a pro
    I wouldn`t one step with a rotary most often but mid range to high end services, yes absolutely.
    My favourite thing about a rotary is no vibration and won`t bog down or stop on certain curves and can be tilted to fit any shape panel.

    I have all bar drum polishers and love using all the ones I own. The more the better
    Da - no mess, powerful, very versatile, less heat most often, safe.

    I think rotary is the tool for me, in the right hands it finishes better and smoother than the Double Action, just listening the DA noise I get bored.
