sorry for my late response. great feedback by all and wanted to share my progess with you



the buffer was jumping out of my hands on its own when i was applying about 5-10 lbs of pressure :sadpace:This is the same pressure I use with my PC 7424, but is it fair to say that with a rotary I should use less pressure than a PC for SM correction?



when I put a light pressure on the head of the buffer, I had full control but it was very little. It was just enough pressure to have control of pc. I would guess about 2-3lbs of pressure but I felt I wasnt getting the paint correction I needed at speed #3 . So for a noob, do i use more pressure and just live with the makita losing contol, more aggressive product than 3/m SM remover or increase speed to 3.5 or 4 ?

How is the surface? Did you clay? Contaminants on the surface can cause even a wool pad to hop. Do the baggie test and see if there is anything on the surface.

That's your first mistake. I clay every car before I compound/polish it out. If I don't clay, the pad tends to skip around more and gets a lot DIRTIER. Also, you just don't get the same feel to the paint. You might also want to get a brush and clean the foam pads every often. Also a spritz of detailing spray here and there will help to keep the temps down a little bit and provide more lubrication for the pad to move on the surface along with not drying the polish out too quickly. Keep at it, rotary work is VERY rewarding.
