    Is a rotary THAT dangerous for a rookie?

    I start out with the makita a month ago and now have a pc. When I didn't have a pc, I made a lot of holograms on a 08 Honda s2000 (soft paint). Now I will fix the holograms with the PC. I use a lot of caution when using the rotary, and also the PC. Start with a beater, you got nothing to lose, I...

    My third Detail (2000 Audi A6 biege)

    the passes with PC didn't work, maybe because it wasnt rotating, cuz after I use mike's tip on marking them, and using the KB method after, i got same results as the makita with orange pad, so I did the whole other side the car with PC, easier on my back.

    Pad sizes

    I find the 8.5in pads not suitable for doors and bumpers, does anyone use 8in pads for the whole car?

    Pad sizes

    I just like to know, what size pads do yous commonly use on a rotary? I now have 8.5in LC pads, 6in edge double side pads ( w/o an adapter yet), 5in pads and spot 4in pads. backing plates I have 7in 5in 4in for the rotary. I don't see many use double side pads, why? is it fairly new?

    on these german things, its not always about trying a wrench, mostly computers and softwares.

    Do you wash your car before taking it in for servicing?

    I work in a Audi dealer as the guy that fixes your car. that cone you're talking about, just scratch the roof, well at least at my dealer. I dont put the cone on your roof tho, I always use my fender cover. I wear latax gloves working on the car, then off when inside the car. on the A5 ...

    Makita Rotary pad sizes

    Im new to detailing period, I find the makita easy to use, I detailed two cars already with the Makita, one came out with holograms by me moving the buffer too quickly, but now I jus added the PC to fix it. I never try the light weight flex, so I cant comment on that one.
