    Re: Looking to buy a new rotary or possibly something else

    On a bad oxidized truck like that for 100.00 ,I would wash it first then wash it with compound or bar keepers to remove the top layer of finish.Then buff it with a heavey cut wool foam pad purple and hit it with a strong aio.working continuously on cars like that you will need production type products and you won't find them on ag.working on trashed cars like that gives you the best hands on training to prepare you anything that comes your way.

    Yeah this thing was trashed lol, good experience for me though. Right now im just using a cheapo harbor freight rotary with ultimate compound/3m compound and then 3m finish with wool pad/orange cut pad/black finsihing pad/.
    But i think im going to get the flex 3401 or something that is a forced da of somekind. Thanks for helping gskr.

    Flex 3401. You won't regret it. I bought a second one just as a backup in case my first one goes down. You should get the HD model with the backing plate system and you're set to go.

    Re: Looking to buy a new rotary or possibly something else

    I have both flex DA 3401 and rotary ( sorry forgot model) I like the DA because it feels smoother to work with. I don't mind the DA because I have patience. I mostly been using the rotary because I want to get better with rotary.

    The only cars I've been working with are the ones at my job. I work for a dealership. I will soon work on my car with the DA.

    Wish you luck
