Experience needed for circular buffer?

[RaskyR1]

I truly beleive I could train a Monkey to run a rotary w/out causing damage....seriously

IMO there easier to control then a DA

I would agree with the part in bold. Someone just picking up a rotary can do some serious damage though if they don't understand the risks.

Damage can be done with a DA too

If you lack common sense, my advice is to stay away from both

IMO, rotaries aren't that hard to use, but the problem is they aren't "goof proof" Its really hard to cause damage with a DA. Get distracted with a rotary and hit a plastic bumper with the edge of a pad, you are down $300-1k in repairs and lose a customer.

That's a good way to explain it...


How to choose the right polisher for your detailing project

No matter how careful or experienced you are you can still have a mishap or burn through with a rotary .

You dont always know where paint may be extreemly thin from the last guy especially around the edges .

Now a days some new cars have extreemly thin paint and that makes using a rotary all that more risky.

What rotaries do u have? And interested in selling 1 if I decide to buy?

I have an old Milwaukee buffer at about 10 years old and a Hitachi just 2 years old. I like them both and to be honest just want to keep them. I like having a rotary on hand and I just cant get rid of my first polisher ever (Milwaukee). Thanks for the offer though. You just cant have too many polishers, I like pulling out the Milwaukee for nastalgia sake some times.

I learned on a Milwaukee rotary about 15 years ago, it was heavy as hell and only had one speed, it was very smooth tho and easy to feather the power with on delicate surfaces, nice machines.

I still got a Milwaukee, ha. It's sitting and collecting dust. It's got issues!
