Rotary Buffer
Hey guys I have a quick question. I am starting to get into some serious car detailing and car polishing that I'm starting to buy a lot of things. Right now I have the Griots Garage 6 in DA with a 5 inch backplate and 5.5 inch pads. Now my question is, should I buy a rotary or should I just upgrade to a Rupes, GG boss 21 or a flex. I use a rotary at work since its that we have so I know what they are capable of doing and I have a good understanding of them. So should I buy a rotary or just upgrade to a different DA? THANKS!

Re: Rotary Buffer
I just got my new flex from autogeek today(haven't even tried it out yet). But I will always have a rotary in the arsenal. Been using them for 15 years, and have no plans to ever not have one.
If you know how to use a rotary, they are a valuable tool.

Re: Rotary Buffer
Since you are familiar with a rotary and what it can do I would consider it a must if you are planning to go PRO.

Re: Rotary Buffer
IMO the more tools and knowledge to use different tools, the more efficient you'll be.
with that said, i'd get a rotary.
i use a rotary at work, and have a rotary of my own. i just purchased a GG 6" along with a 3" backing plate.

Re: Rotary Buffer
Alright thanks for the input guys. I do know that a rotary is more effective on certain things such as headlights compared to a DA so i will definitely be buying a rotary.

Re: Rotary Buffer
I'd go with the DeWalt rotary.
I have a Rupes BF21, but the rotary can do everything IT can.
The DeWalt rotary polisher (DWTDWP849X) is my go-to. The Rupes is a Cadillac for the DA world, but the rotary offeres everything and then some.
I was able to find the DeWalt for 179.** w/ bale and straight handle and hook/loop backing pad. Free shipping.
Can't go wrong for the price.

This was actually my plan! I use the older 849 at work and Amazon has the 849x for 199 with everything included with two free day shipping through prime.

Save yourself another $20 and go through Tooltopia. $179, free shipping.

Re: Rotary Buffer
I'd recommend spending the extra money to get the Flex PE14.

Re: Rotary Buffer
I used one at the Boot Camp, and I think the combination of machined gears, quality bearings and weight distribution make it so much better than the rest.
