He is pretty convinced that rotary polishing really does produce a higher gloss factor, when measured with the meter.

I had a curiousity that rotary produced higher gloss factor back then, when i 1st got my DA and tried to get the feel on how to use DA properly on my car's hood that i've already rotary buffed to perfection the very previous week. At that time i thought that the LSP hasn't stripped completely, so i take the rotary out to polish the other section of the hood once again. And still the rotary side is a bit glossier than the DA side and i blamed that on my lack of DA feel (1st time use). I dropped that curiousity since i didn't see any differences on my dd car from using rotary or DA and i thought that the paint itself is a variable. After working on couple of my friends car, i found that sometimes rotary do produce better gloss than DA, given the paint is workable, but not always and usually takes a good look on the panel or side by side comparison is needed to spot it.
