Finally had a go today on a rotary. I have a dented door I replaced and kept for practicing paint correction I intentionally put a few marks (not deep)on it to see if they would buff out with farecla g3 premium polish and wool pad. I did eventually get them out but found the paint very hard...

Thanks very much all. I have experimented again with better pads and I've removed the side handle and has made a big difference. Thank you.

Thanks for the advice. I am so new to this. I thought a higher speed would be better. �� Sadly I don't have an air compressor. Could i use my rotary polisher or is a DA more prefereable?

Can an electric orbital sander like the one linked below be successfully used as an alternative to an air DA for using sanding discs for deeper scratches? Makita BO5041K 5-Inch Random Orbit Sander Kit - Power Random Orbit Sanders - Amazon.com

Very very interesting indeed this thank you. So are you using the leading or following edge? For example if you are polishing left to right are you using the left or righy edge? Thanks so much again greatly appreciated.

Hmm, got to admit this goes against majority of advice I read but maybe most assume rotary should be used in same way as DA. It is certainly a little easier to control of you use an edge a little but still slightly unsure I must admit. No offense Paul. You know masses and masses more about any...

Thanks so much guys on the comments. I think this issue is indeed mostly down to poor compound as this stuff dried up very very quickly. It's a uk company called Sealey. I will invest on better pads and polish.

Lol. Maybe I need to eat more spinach first. �� I use the grip attachment on the left of polisher. I did wonder if holding it directly behind head would make a difference but I guessed the grip attachment was the way to go. Thanks for the support!

It seems that the more I try to keep the pad as flat as possible against a panel the more the polisher wants to get out of control and then I tense up more which I know is not helping things. This doesn't seem to change much with slower speeds. If I angle polisher slightly it seems to resolve...

Thanks so much guys for the input. I like these storage ideas. So when it comes to working with the polishing machine are you puting microfiber cloth back inside sealed box or bag then out again when needed to wipe compound off? Just wondering if there's a more convenient way to grab a cloth...

Thanks very much all for your helpful advice. So when it comes to using say a cloth for removing compound where do you keep it to keep it as clean as possible without risk of contamination ? I'm guessing an apron pocket is not the best idea or? �� Thanks again.

Hi all My first post on this so please be kind. 😊 Do you use same type of microfiber cloths for all aspects of detailing or do you have different ones? For example do you use same type for removing compound as you would wax? Obviously you won't want to get them mixed up. Also are there any...
