    Don't get me wrong, it's hard not using my GG6, it does a nice job
    If you want to, next time after a white pad and 205, use a 'paint cleaner' polish with a DA polisher and see if it is still hologram free.

    Re: Back to using a rotary.

    Why use the DA?
    The rotary will do just fine.

    I think he may be referring to removing the polishing oils that M205 leaves behind, to see if the finish is as good as you believe it to be.

    It's a body shop safe product.
    If you work the polish well you'll get a flawless finish.

    Re: Back to using a rotary.

    For me the choice was determined by the demographic that I was servicing.

    Seems to me that much emphasis is placed on cutting and compound use when referring to this tool but not much discussed about polishing.

    Re: Back to using a rotary.

    Polishers (and most other detailing products) are like golf clubs you reach for the best one (and the one you have the most confidence in) after you carefully read the green. New rotary polishers have a larger rpm range (especially on the lower end) than the rotaries or the days of old. Which can help (but completely get rid off ) some of the issues associated with rotary use. As with most detailing tools or products there is no one size fits all. I like and use a rotary and a DA they both have there uses.
