if you have experience with a DA and you are thinking of stepping up to rotory then these are fine, pads wise for applying 845 and jetseal you need a soft finishing/glazing pads.
personally i prefer to apply either of those products by hand, much quicker and easier imo.

@shepgti yes they are but im just giving him advice on what he's asking about.
