    Isn't it very difficult to use the rotary as a finnishing tool?

      Hey,

      Meguiar's 80 series was created with BC/CC paint in mind. I have found that with the rotary, I prefer to use either #82 or #80. Meguiar's always suggests to start with the least aggressive product first; ie. #9 or #82. If neither of these seem to be removing the marring, then move up to #80 and so on. Then you will have to step back down as each less aggressive product refines the finish even further.

      Generally experience in judging a paint's hardness will allow you in time to have a pretty good idea as what product you need to start with. Moreover, always use a test spot to see what combinations of products work for that specific paint.

      As for the clay, Meguiar's offers two different aggressive levels: C-2000 (mild) or C-2100 (aggressive). Most people would use the mild C-2000. The C-2100 clay is used more in body shops where the technician will be using a rotary for buffing. The C-2100 can create marring. Hence the reason, it would be better for most situations to use the C-2000 Mild. Though I have used the C-2100, I stick mostly to the C-2000 as I have found very few cases where I needed the more aggressive clay.

      I hope this helps!
