Using both Rotary and DA?

If I'm correcting paint its always a rotary, IMO the orbital has little effect in real paint correction. I use the orbital after I've done the paint correction for the last few steps
 
For me if I am doing a car that has been for the most part neglected then I work with the rotary and follow up with the DA in case there are any trails. For the rest of the cars I stick to my pc.
 
Different strokes for different folks I guess. I've never ran up against something that a DA (specifically my flex) can't handle. If I did more boats or RVs then I would definitely want a rotary for the speed factor, but in my business a DA does the job just fine. I've never felt the need for a rotary.
 
i like both and most times i grab the da but if i want that extra bling out comes the rotary .. and for paint correction well...... rotary all the way

For the most part this is me these days. I still haven't touched my rotary since I started using the FLEX.
 
I have both a rotary and a PC but I only do my own cars so seldom have a need for the rotary.

But after wet sanding IMO not even a flex will remove sanding as fast as a rotary.
You run a risk but if you turn the rotary up to high speed it will remove paint fast. :cheers:
 
I have both and use what works best with the paint I'm working on. It will also vary depending on the level of correction I'm going for.

Exactly. I can't really say that I don't like rotaries since I haven't really ever used one for more than ten minutes. I just haven't ever left a job going, wow... I sure wish I could have used a better tool for that job. But again, if I did boats or RVs all the time, then a rotary would definitely be in the truck. Besides, I charge by the hour, so having a faster machine doesn't really do me any favors now, does it. ;) (i'm totally kidding, of course) (well....sorta totally):notme:
