Well, i just wanted share my first time experience on the rotary. I will say that the rotary gitters faded once it was actually in my hand. I was using a 3m Grey Waffle Polishing Pad with a simple Nano polish to just get the feel for both.
First thing i noticed was how the buffer acted when on the surface. It has a mind of its own and wants to take you for a spin. I tried turning the buffer at an angle so a portion of the pad was on the surface. When i had the pad flat on the surface, i felt like it was grabbing way too much. Once i did a little tilt of the buffer, it seemed much smoother.
After a quick wipe down to inspect the surface, i found my beginner mistakes. I call them Tiger Stripes because that's exactly what they looked like. The up and down/side to side motion seemed to leave these behind. How can i stop these from happening. I know its user error so id like to correct it. I wanna learn!
Besides that, i had a blast. Hahaha i would have taken pictures, but i was too embarrassed to show of my work lol
