Hello All,
I'm in the process of getting back into buffing, mostly an occasional car for family/friends, and am curious if times have really changed in that the rotary buffer is no longer the tool of choice by pros?
I used to buff (rotary) professionally for 14 years but it's been over 6 years since I've picked one up. Now I get the impression the DA's and advanced compounds/pads have replaced the rotary buffer and just received an email from a pro detailer stating just that?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just got a Meg G110v2 but felt it was slow in removing even light to moderate scratches on a few tests spots perfomed. I was using a Megs polishing pad and tried M205, UC as well as M2 fine cut. I didn't have any pads for my rotary (on order) so didn't get to compare it but felt it would have performed better even with the same pads/compounds...
Anyhow, can such as the new Meguiars MT300 really outperform a rotary buffer in correcting paint as quickly and as good? I mean with use of standard cutting/polishing pads and compounds/polishes. Not some extraordinary process where I have to use some sanding pad and then finish out.
I had planned on reserving my rotary for moderate/major scratches using M101 because it should make quick work of such and reserving my DA for polishing (M205) and waxing. However, if the MT300 can cut just as fast with M101 -vs- my rotary; then I will definetly pick one up and get rid of my rotary and my G110v2.
Thanks,
Ralph
