good to hear from you so fast, first I also dont have confident to use the rotary, heard too much about a rotary could easily demage paint finish. But, after i watch the video, I full of confident a give it a try, well... not so dangerous as it should be, as long as keep your rotary moving all the time. I will con't to finish my entire car with rotary later after this. You should try it.

Yup, check out Mike-in-Orange's thread at www.showcargarage.com, specifically a post by Richard Lin(OctaneGuy) about the rotary.

I've been meaning to post to this thread for a looooong time. Hey Mike, I'm really glad that you have been using the rotary and have found success! The rotary really isn't a scary tool--except when things start to get a little out of control. Like buffing on an area with thin paint and not realizing it until too late, or exposing the paint on a high point, or having the buffer get away from you because you got too close to a part of the car--it grabbed, and literally yanked the buffer out of your hands. Learning to properly hold, and control the buffer is key. I find myself bracing the buffer in all kinds of weird positions in order to maintain control, yet apply the least amount of pressure necessary for the application. Sometimes you only need a little blip to remove a defect, and sometimes you really need to bear down hard. Using your senses, i.e. smelling the clearcoat as it gets buffed off, your feel to determine whether the panel is too warm--nothing like buffing on a buffer too long, only to realize that you've deformed the plastic due to excessive heat from buffing, or worse rippled the paint at that spot! Keep up the good work and never stop learning!

Doesn't sound easy to master the rotary buffer. Well, good luck on your journey to rotary buffing Vincent! Hope I'll get my chance someday
