    Re: Rotary guys, what RPM do you use when removing heavy swirls?

    I normally try to stay between 1535 and 1547....... then use about 10 lbs of pressure first pass, then each pass I lower the lbs of pressure about 1.5 lbs a pass. Hope this helps lol!











    I bet this gets picked apart lol

    Re: Rotary guys, what RPM do you use when removing heavy swirls?

    That really depends on the product, and pad I'm using. Most common being MG105...I usually go anywhere from 1000-1300. I'm usually on the lower end. But I usually just go with what I'm feeling at the moment.

    This was a joke by the way..... It depends on industry and opinion on each and every vehicle. I can go 2500 and slower on buses cause the paint is extremely thick..... on cars it is a judgment call but normally stays between 1000 and 1700 - depending on what my internal Paint gage says lol

    I also have an internal paint gauge, ha. I actually do have a paint gauge. But it's just one of those cheap magnet pen types. It does give me an idea of what I'm working with though. Does the trick. Although, I never use it, ha.

    On a Makita, I haven't had the need to go above speed 3, which is 1500rpm
