No problem finishing off a car with a rotary, you dont need the DA to finish up the work.
Rotary and feks 106ff or APO60 looks great when done with the rotary, and then you can just apply the LSP by hand and your done.
Some even manage to get a almost 100% finish with wool pads and rotary, but i guess they have done that some times before that is posible

Pirex do you apply LSP with rotary and if you do what speed do you use? I am just starting to use the rotary and wondered if you could apply LSP with it and what speed you would need.
you can wax your car whole in 3 minutes that way

I use to apply LSP for hand, but if I use a machine, I use my PC.

Pads, products used, experience... you can do your work faster with rotary.

Experience is the key word. I am still very limited to what I will do with a rotary, I will experiment all kinds of things with DA but rotary still makes me a little nervous!

+1 on that!^^^ I want a rotary, but I'm afraid I will screw up, despite I'm comfortable with a PC. A rotary definitely will get you the job done faster, but also mistakes can come fast as well.
A suggestion very well recomended when you start with a rotary is to get a junked hood with good paint condition and play several times with it. After you feel REALLY comfortable with it, then you can pass forward onto real cars.
Just my couple cents...

Just used my rotary for the first time this weekend without any problems and amazing results. Ended up detailing my girlfriend's 04 Explorer. I know, I know, I should have practiced on a scrap piece, but I was cautious and kept the speed down (1300rpm) and made sure I kept the machine moving especially around corners/contours. Used Menz PO91E/orange pad and it finished down LSP ready; no buffer trails at all and a nice high gloss. Also applied LSP (Max Wax/blue pad) with the rotary and it really sped up the job compared to hand application and gave a nice even coat. Overall it was a great experience and by the end of the detail I was completely comfortable using the rotary. A little extra care is definitely warranted, but the things I learned with the DA helped me with using the rotary.

The only way to do paint correction is with the rotary. The PC works good but with a rotary you can do much more. I've been using my rotary for quite a bit now and that's all I use. My Cyclo just sits there waiting for me to use it. To be honest the rotary is not that different compared to a PC. It's quite simply to use a rotary, you have to pay more attention to what your doing but that's the fun part your never bored. With the PC I found my self just sitting there and looking aroun at other places becuase I was getting a little impatient with the PC. With the rotary, you have to concentrate on what your doing.
Rotary with wool pads is a great combination, wool pads are (this is only my opinion) much better compared to the foam pads. Foam pads create heat, while wool pads hardly creat heat.
Oh and yes the more you use a rotary the better skilled you become.

I have to agree with you Nica. The rotary is not that much different than a PC IMO. You do just have to pay a little more attention to what you are doing. With that said, there honestly is no better rotary teaching tool than a DA polisher, just to build confidence and practice proper techniques to get you aquainted with machine polishing.
