Rotary buffer experience...

[lempilot]

Other than finishing the job quicker, is there a performance/results difference between running a rotary at 1250 rpm as opposed to 1500 rpm.

I doubt you would see a difference between those two speeds.

Please explain this because you are wrong.

please do, I would love to here it myself

Agreed. The only noticable difference is how the rotary will feel in your hands.

I love using my rotary... I actually never used a DA, started with a rotary thanks to my dad and the old old System One package (before X3).

I would say if you were looking for a Flex or a Rotary, why not just get the Flex Rotary?

I agree

I don't understand this whole debate of rotary versus DA. I learned to buff cars with a rotary (B&D buffmaster and then air powered polishers) and from what I hear on this site, I would never go with a DA. I mean why waste tons of money on various polishers if the end result is buying a rotary anyway. It's not like it's a graduated process where you HAVE to start with a UDM then move on to a flex DA and finally to a rotary after many years of experience.

Don't be scared of rotaries just be carefull that's all.

I first learned on a Milwauker rotary, but I think the results I saw were from bad pads/products and which steered me away from using one. I am not afraid to take one to a test panel, but I need to get my feet wet a little more stepping my game up from my PC.

ok i hate to get into this..but dude some people might not know as much about detailing as you...why do you have to be so rude to people lol...?

I have all three polishers. (Rotary, FLEX, and PC) I've been using the rotary for 18+ years and it's the go to tool for serious corrections and high volume work. That being said, I love my FLEX! Unless you are very skilled with a rotary, swirl free results are hard to achieve. On retail jobs I always follow up with the FLEX or PC to ensure a 100% swirl free finish. I like my PC for waxing and light polishes.

If you’re working for money, than a rotary is a necessity IMO. If you’re a weekend warrior then a FLEX may be your best bet.

How is that being rude? I replied to the post. Why are you trying to make something out of nothing, there is nothing rude about that post.
I guess mrfjsw294 is rude also since he agreed with my post, maybe you should have included him in your post also.
