After receiving my Makita 9227c for my birthday, I finally had time to give it a shot. I had everything ready from the polisher, to the Lake Country pads, to the polish, to the MF's and so on...

I ended up doing:



-Mother's Gold Wash

-Clay Majic Clay with soap/water mixture for lube

-Rinse

-WW (Pakshak) to dry

-#82 SFP with White Polishing Pad

-Klasse AIO (hand)

-Klasse SG (hand)

just showing there are no swirls :D







Overall, the experience with the rotary was good. I definately wished I learned on my moms work van or something. I burned a couple spots very little and barely noticeable. I'll live because nothing is perfect anyways. I definately want to get another polishing pad for a glaze step and a flexible backing plate for those tough to get spots. Just make sure if you are a first timer to tape up all rubber, vinyl, and plastic trim. Otherwise, you're going to burn it with the rotary.





Until next time, Enjoy! :bounce

Couldn't post these all at once, sorry.
 
outstanding work GSRstilez,



I don't own a rotary but just goes to show, in the right hands a rotary can produce awesome results!!



Sorry to hear about the few burn spots, sorry I can't help you here to fix these as I don't know any rememdies to fix them except repaint??



All in all, great work!
 
Good job, dude. You've prolly got the cleanest, nicest car in NY this time of year.



Keep practicing with that rotary. It will really step up your skills a notch or two.
 
You did a good job. Don't worry about the burns if they're not visible. It would be nice to learn on a junker but you'll probably learn to be more careful using a car in good shape like yours. Keep practicing.
 
Did you take your body kit off? I could of sworn your Integra had one:nixweiss



Look's great either way:xyxthumbs
 
Everyone else can compliment the job you did with the rotary. I'm going to tell you that your choice of mods makes that car look outstanding. It's nicely personalized and nowhere near overboard; it's understated and elegant yet youthful at the same time, the way an Acura should be. Nice job!

I think he did it for winter. :nixweiss Along with the spoiler, which just confuses me.
 
:cool: Sweet. Your Teg looks good. I'm just curious, did you buy those taillights like that, or are those OEM taillights that have been "smoked" with paint?
 
I'm also new to the rotary and been practicing on some old junk panels...



Could you tell us how those burn marks came about? Did you keep the buffer moving...???



Thanks in advance!!!

Juggalo: Yeah, I did a complete winter conversion for the winter. Didn't want to risk wrecking my rims and body kit with new paint on them. I am glad I did. I had the original bumpers and skirts which don't look half bad with my painted rims. :D



Mosca: :shocked I really appreciate that. Like a lot. Some people like my car, some people don't. I really mod it for my tastes and no1 elses, but its always nice when people really see what I aimed for with it. A clean looking car with a bunch of subtle mods, but still making a strong impression :)



COBRyan: Thanks a lot. I'm not a big domestic guy, but my dad has a Cobra and some friends have domestics. I always give credit where credit is due and if I like a mustang or camaro, I won't hesitate to compliment them. I appreciate you being kind and honest.



TaiChi: $165



Corey Bit Spank: I took the spoiler off because it just really didn't work with the entire kit off. Plus, just another expensive piece that could've been ruined by mother winter.

EricZ: I bought them. They are OEM, but painted with deep candy red transparent spraypaint and clearcoated. I receieved them heavily orangepeeled so I compounded, polished, and Klasse'd them. They now look OEM becuase they came out so well. :D

Chris Y: The burns came due to putting too much pressure. I am currently using the buffer at about 1400 rpm and the burns are in curved areas in which too much of the buffer was on one spot at one time. You just have to be careful and I would definately reccomend trying on both flat and curvy junk panels. Good Luck!
 
Oh yea, I forgot to ask, when you mounted on your sideskirts, did you put them over your stock ones or did you take off your stock ones?
 
TaiChi: I put the Wings West side skirts right over the OEM ones. 2 screws on the front wheel well, 2 screws on the rear wheel well to secure them.
 
GSR,



Nice work for your first go:up



Burn through occurs mainly on raised body panel areas and edges. The reason for this is because the paint is thinner in these areas.



Heat is built up quickly with a faom pad so in these areas one needs to "feather" the trigger. So if one is buffing close to an edge, say by the hood and front fender, you can keep the RPM's at 1200-1400 but as you come up to these areas give the trigger quick, short squeezes but never fully depress it. This causes the machine to still work the pad and product but greatly reduces the heat transfer.



Feel the paint often and it should be toasty warm to the touch and not hot.
