Re: Rotary: My First Practice!
When I first read this post, I did not have a Makita - now I do, rarely go to the PC anymore. I also discovered that you can use the rotary just to polish the paint and get it ready for the last step. I use Lake Country pads so it's the white one - I'm sure there is an equal one from Meg's - that and some light polish on 1000-1200 rpm and the paint looks great. Just finished a Surburban and a Buick, both had no swirls (caused they never get washed!) after a good cleaning, the Makita brought the paint right back to showroom shine. Now, both machines -PC and rotary have there place, it's easier to use a PC on doors and fenders till you get the hang of the rotary. And the PC is safer, but it sure vibrates your hands and the noise!
