But the extra effort/time involved in "paint corrections", let alone factoring in their so unwonted vibrations,
has caused their usage by me nowadays to become near prohibitive.
That's why the RUPES line-up of polishers sound so tempting.
Either those..or a lightweight Flex...if I'm to continue taking care of our vehicles as I once did.

Bob, Have you considered a Cyclo polisher? They're supposed to have very minimal, if any, vibration.

Yes I have...Thanks for asking.
Used one of a friend of mine once and liked it a whole lot.
I'll have to keep that polisher in mind also.
Thanks for the reminder! ![xyxthumbs](https://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/images/smilies/xyxthumbs.gif)

Re: Back to using a rotary.
I still want to learn to use the rotary, but keep wondering if I just shouldn't buy a Rupes...

Rupes with the same wool may beat it, but there are "some" instances where I find a rotary is faster to cut. Mostly deep scratches.

Re: Back to using a rotary.
If you use a white pad along with m205 you can get a perfect finish.
What causes holograms is using an aggressive compound and pad.
When doing just one step using the 205 and a white pad it comes out flawless.
Don't get me wrong, it's hard not using my GG6, it does a nice job

Re: Back to using a rotary.
wool pad and a rotary is almost a must when working with gel coats IMO anyway.
