    Tell my your experience with lighter polishes; #82, #80, #9 etc

    I've only used my rotary with the strong stuff; #84 and occasionally #83. I'm thinking about using it with some #82 on my 1.5 year old/20000 mi white Subaru, which has developed some swirling over that period. The choice is between using the G-100 or the rotary, and the function is time.

    If I use the rotary and #82/polishing pad, will I still need to remove buffer trail with the D/A?

    It the time saved by using the rotary in this instance (a well cared for, near-new car with minor swirling) more than the time used taping up trim and tires and windows?

    It's going to be a beautiful day here, low to mid 70s and low humidity!

    As the light changed from red to green to yellow and back to red again, I sat there thinking about life. Was it nothing more than a bunch of honking and yelling? Sometimes it seemed that way.

    If the swirling is really minor and the car is in the condition you describe, then I should think you'd be fine just using the G-100 and #80. Quick and easy, you can work 80 for a very long time, and it leaves a beautiful finish ready to wax.

      That's what I think too, Mike. As a matter of fact, I'm going to start with #82 instead, I think that should do it. I don't think the swirling is heavy enough to go with #80; it's only wash and towel marks.

      I'm going to use #82, then maybe I'll revisit #20.

        Well, the #82 wasn't strong enough for that hard Subaru paint. The #80 was right. Next time I'll break out the rotary though. Sube paint is hard.

        And it looks like I gave away all my #20, so I used Medallion instead. I forgot how nice that was!
