First time with Rotory. No micro marring?

Thanks for the tips guys. I took the rotary to my wife’s dark metallic blue Tahoe last weekend and it looked great to me afterwards. I’ll never use my DA again.

I will give you the benefit of the doubt, that your a young fella. One thing I learned a long time ago is NEVER SAY NEVER
or always

I use to do that... take things to literally. Now days no one will hold you to a never or always. In fact they want to hear a never and always to give themselves warm fuzzies about what you said.

Much as I like incandescent lighting for inspections, it won`t show rotary-induced holograms unless they`re really awful. THAT is the challenge with a rotary- avoiding those, especially the really light ones that are murder to spot. Only one of my LEDs is good for spotting those, and it`s not as good as the SunGun. Natural sunlight is good, but I`ve had to *really* mess around moving the vehicle so the sun hits it *JUST RIGHT* while a competent assistant does the inspecting. My wife and I have spent *HOURS* over the course of several days (only had brief periods when the sun was just right) chasing holograms that most people would probably never see, but neither she nor I wanted to drive it until they were 100% gone.

Dozerboy- None of the above means that you didn`t get it right! If so, congrats! If not, eh..just DA/RO `em away under the right lighting.

Wow, wish I could get my wife to be anti-hologram.

Heh heh, it actually strikes me as weird that some here don`t get their families all on-board with the Autopian Standards thing...Accumulatorette went from zero to full-Autopian in no time as soon as we discussed the whole thing.

Eh, we just married the right people in each other. We basically have the exact same values, including simply "doing everything in Life properly." Most cosmetic imperfections, especially holograms/swirls/"the usual marring" are the result of doing something improperly, and we both try to never do that.
 
Heh heh...even *I* will agree that it`s not impossible to finish out perfectly via rotary! I just can`t do it every time on b/c paint and saw (past tense, sold the rotaries :D ) no point in trying.
 
It was no big deal for me to pick up a DA or a Cyclo and perfect my polishing job after I used a rotary. Standard procedure for me.

That`s what I did before today`s [stuff], but doing it with a V1.0 PC was so time-inefficient it was like torture whenever the Cyclo couldn`t handle the contours.

And I`ll note that for some reason the holograms on that Yukon XLD ("Granite metallic") were simply *MURDER* to get out..and that was after we managed to spot `em. By the time we finished that one, and then that e36 M3 (oh what was that paint called?!? Coppery metallic..Byzanz or somesuch, yeah, that`s it) was hard too, literally; the hardest paint I`ve *EVER* worked, much harder than (get this)...white ss Imron!
