| |  Rotary Buffer - worth learning?
Is it worth learning how to use a rotaty buffer? I know that you can cut detailing time in half using a rotary, but am afraid to use one. I never used a rotary.
Anyone out there can give me an advice?

| | | no. I have both, i know how to use both well. I still use my PC more often.
i only use the rotary for very bad paint. I dont come across this all too often, so alas, the rotary doesnt get used much. id ont feel like thinking about what im doing when polishing, if i use a rotary, i have to pay attention. I'm lazy. |

| | | I think it can be beneficial to learn everything, but also fail to see where a rotary will work in my world. I have new cars, keep them clean, and work very hard to avoid swirls. So light polishing is all I need and the PC does that well.
I own a Hitachi Rotary, and can count the times I used it on my hands. |

| | What about upgrading from a PC to a cyclo? And also, would a rotary then be useful if you were doing say.... a business? With a lot of practice of course.  |

| | | I think a rotary would clearly be needed if detailing as a profession. The Cyclo appears to be the Cadillac of Random Orbitals. Sure might not do a much better job, but certainly looks nicer with all the bells and whistles. I am resisting the urge ..... |
