So I happen to have a rotary polisher in my garage (Hitachi SP18VA) and a hood that will be scrapped fairly soon and I`d like to try my hand at using a rotary for the first time. I ordered a Chemical Guys 5" backing plate for rotaries and I have some mf pads (Uber Cutting Pads and Meguiars Finishing pads) along with some miscellaneous foam pads. I know I will need to go a bit aggressive on the scrap hood because it took several passes with the Uber cutting pad and M105 on a GG6 to achieve about a 95% correction level on a small portion of the hood. I am willing to purchase some other pads that would be recommended, but I am also wondering what RPM`s are recommended for compounding/polishing/finishing with a rotary? Or is it better to polish/finish with a DA? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
