Buffing out a car with a rotary buffer is a good work out! Not as much fun as a bike ride though...

Use the money you make detailing cars using a rotary buffer to buy a bike?

Get the Flex and then you can do this...

Surgical Buffing (http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/auto-detailing-101/47254-surgical-buffing.html)


Working on thin panels or intricate areas is what I call surgical buffing. In order to do surgical buffing you need the right tools.

We have these new 3" pads and together with a 3" backing plate and an adapter for using double side pads but I use them as an extension.

True.

My son just learned how to ride a bike (in a matter of hours) this past weekend, and i'm contemplating getting one for myself and one for my wife so that we can start biking together in the evenings and go to trails, etc.

But a flex rotary is cool too.

Back to topic, buy a rotary, its a completely new dimension in detailing. I know of few people who sold their rotaries after a week or 2. Its challenging for sure :)

I'm one of them.

Yes, it's DEFINITELY challenging. You MUST have patience with a rotary. My G110v2 and the new pads and polishes these days are good enough for me.

I own and use a rotary often but if you are just doing this as a hobby I dont see any need for one.

The product/pad/technique technology has come so far that incredible results can be had just using a DA.

Get a bike, get fit and healthy.

If you so this for family and friends and make a little money doing it, I'd get a rotary if you need to do some serious correction. Then take the money and buy a bike. If your serious about riding. ( a road bike I presume ) I'd save an get a good one that you want out grow. If you only spent like 200-300 on a bike and want to get serious you will outgrow it. I bought a $1500 trek 2 years and want to now upgrade to a carbon fiber frame as I feel I'm outgrowing my current bike. I guess my point being get something you can grow into not out of in a few months.
