The below is a paragraph directly from the manufacture website. To me, it is misleading, directed towards the general public and discounts what a professional detailer brings to the table.

Heat used to be more of an issue as compounds had shorter working times, rotaries were used at higher speeds, and people were relearning how to use rotaries on newer paints. Just as DAs have come a...

Not missing the point, I'm saying could have avoided it by preventative measures. Taping vulnerable edges is still necessary for the same reason whether or not you're using a DA or Rotary. We are...

Tape off vulnerable edges? Doing this will also protect the pad from damage too.

Are you sure it was burn through and not more of a scuff from catching the edge? Most rotaries operate under 1000 rpm for todays materials, so they do actually stay pretty cool. If you are cranking...

A split second? Where do you get this information? Which rotary, being used correctly, can produce enough heat that fast?

I might do a video or look for a video online about burning paint. As you said, you've read about it, and have seen it. But do you know what it takes to produce it? As DA's have gotten better with...

Is heat completely unrelated to cut? Or can it be that the two are just not positively correlated? Can a long throw or forced DA produce as much heat as a rotary? How much heat does it take to burn...

Of course, not all jobs require that much compounding, and if you can achieve results in one step, efficiently, then you should take it. But also consider how long you are spending on your single...

you have to remove the same amount of paint, regardless of method, to remove the defects

Mike, correct. I am talking about using a 2 step process for the correction work. Step 2 remains the same in both instances, a DA that removes the rotary work and finishes down well. The variable...

I have not rephrased MY question, I have only asked to confirm if/then statements, provided others input be true statements

I gave my opinion in the first post.

Also, it is a misconception about a rotary EASILY burning paint. If you have not done any testing for yourself, how can you make this claim?

1 - Could your compounding have been done faster with your rotary?
2 - Losing focus with a DA can cause dings, scratches, pigtails, etc. so we are not considering human error. So leave burning out...

Mike, in your opinion, would a Rupes DA, long throw, have gotten the paint leveled in the same amount of time (start to finish) as the rotary?

I am just pushing hard questions to get definitive answers.

So if this statement is true, then is it correct to say that using the MKII in the first step does not actually save you time because it doesn't matter what tool it is, only the pad and compound...

So if I rephrase and say - "using an MKII, you will need to be more conscious of clear coat levels than if you used a rotary because it cuts through clear faster" is a correct statement?

I have already pointed out that this does not pertain to my original discussion as this is a one step and we do not know the before condition. I have already agreed that if it is light swirl removal,...

We aren't using error in this discussion, so assume the operator knows how to use a rotary and doesn't heat the paint beyond damage.

So an operator must be more conscious about clear levels using a DA than with a rotary because it can cut through clear faster?

I would always expect to do a second step after using a wool pad on a rotary, so this doesn't follow my chain of discussion, nor does it show an even comparison. I would always agree that if it is...

If it cuts faster than the rotary, then how is it safer?

1 - In what case do you use it that you can't achieve results from your DA?
2 - How is it safer if the operator is proficient with each tool and takes all necessary preliminary steps?
3 - We are...

I said using any combination, as long as were comparing apples to apples for the heavy compounding step.
Any DA, Rupes, Flex, Griots
