Ya, I echo that sentiment. Also, for your "FIRST" time with a rotary, you certainly demonstrated it's not your first time doing a superb detailing job!

Beautiful job bringing that rather sad looking black paint back to life. Looks like you've got the rotary down to a science.

How did you like the Makita compared to (whatever you used before)? I'm so close to picking up a Makita I can smell it. I'd like to hear about your experience.
I think its a great machine. The second I picked it up I felt how well built it was, which is important to me . I used and still use the Flex 3401 RO and I find that it still a good machine that the Makita is tops. The power and correction ability is so much greater and I find polish breakdown goes quicker and more fluidly. Just let the machine do the work and let it glide I like having both now, I use the Flex for lower panels sometimes because its a bit smaller and lighter. I like it for applying EZ and RMG as well.

I spent a lot of time reading and learning about proper rotary technique(the Dave KG rotary guide was a huge help), I still am learning but no amount of reading can replace practicing with the actual rotary, IMO its not as intimidating as it seems just be careful and take it slow. I got some spare panels the night before and spent a little time working different polishes and pads before I did the Audi to make sure I knew what I was doing but I didnt really see how the correction was until I worked the Audi the next day. Thanks for the compliments guys.
