I have heard that the da orbitals are good if you're new because they are much harder to do damage with if you mess up. My question is- if you just use common sense and take the time to do some research is it still easy enough to do really bad damage that most would still recommend going with the DA to build experience?
It sounds like while with any tool they each have their place, for general paint correction, you can get the job done more efficiently (and maybe better for more serious correction?) with the rotary buffer. If it's mostly a matter of not using too much pressure, controlling the tilt to let the buffer do the movement work for you, and taking care not to over/dry buff, I think that wouldn't be too hard to handle, but if there are a lot of pitfalls for newbies, maybe I'll stick to my original plan to go DA.
The videos make it all look so easy haha...
