That is a very interesting video, I personally like the technique and will try it out shortly. Okay the pad is 3M but what about the backing plate that is a sweet looking backing plate. Any one know what kind or make that backing plate is?

Very good video, thank you for sharing.

Some would be scared to death to even buff with their PC's handle off more less one hand it. It just takes time and practice. Even though I've only done this for 14 months, I've fully detailed over 200 cars and mainly SUV's. This has giving me the education of trial and error that a hobbyist cannot get. The same for Paul.

PC's have handles?

Exactly what I thought...If mine came with one it might still in the box still in the plastic. I also use the PC one handed and never had a problem...I thought that was common practice. I can't say anything about the rotary since I have never used one but it will be here within the next six months.

I've seen several use the rotary without the handle in. I actually put in bolts where the handle should be on my PC. This keeps it from rattling while using it one handed. Customer's seemed to not like that noise!

Thanks Sneek..

To me it looks like a Meg's plate and a 3M waffle pad....I have 3M plates and they are yellow....even the older ones I have on my air powered DA's....I paused the video a few times and the pad looks to be a waffle type pad...and 3m pads are waffled..
