Rotary difficult to use? Was easy for me.

[Grand Master Patch]

Just a quick thread to show that using a rotary isn't difficult at all.

I only had time to do the roof and bonnet,will do the rest at a later date.


- before paint correction. swirles/holograms, a mess



- tried a few different pad/compound combinations and found megs #4 on a sonus white pad was needed,this got rid of most of the swirls



- 50/50 after first pass



- hit the car with a megs #83 and finished with #80



-  quick pic before wax



- a pic of the roof after wax




Not bad for my second time using it

It's only a cheap silverline one,£40 iirc.

I read loads of guides etc....,but in the end i spent a few days helping a detailer with my car and picked up everything needed off him.

How mine turned out

looks good mate.

it obviously comes natural to you(using a rotory) ,ive seen lads over the years being extremely cack handed with rotorys

i recognise that detailers name from other forums.

great work - glad to see that you got some good tuition too!

i'd go for the DAS-6 PRO over the G220 - it is a MUCH better piece of kit and gives less vibration

I got a Dodo buff daddy and not getting the required results just yet but think I need to fart around with different pads and compounds.  Should I be able to get the same results from a DA over a rotary?

Guy i just looked at that and it looks good.. are any of the kits they sell for the pro das any good ?? like mezerna or that ??
