I got a new makita rotary buffer today and I am really excited to get to play with it.. so far I ordered a flexible backing plate and some 7.5inch foam pads for it. I ordered just a white polishing pad? Is that all I will need for cutting swirls? I also use menzerna intense and final polish II.. Will that polish do really good with a rotary or do I need to step it up some. I still plan on finishing with my porter cable after i use the rotary. Do I need to get any new polishing that yall recommend, maybe a along the lines of 3M products?? Thanks in advance!

Landon, it all depends on how heavy swirls and how hard of clear coat / paint you are talking about. If you already made a purchase and it is on it's way you might want to give that a try first before spending more money.
 
is it possible to finish up with a white pad and FPII with this rotary? Thats what I want to.. I want to get a better finish. OK, Ill agree with you. Ill wait to buy anything else and practice with it

I put some wonderful holograms on my nine year old pickup truck with a new makita rotary I bought recently. In the garage you'll never notice but, after pulling it out in the sun, they suddenly appear.....:D

I used an orange LC pad with Menzerna IP and took my time.



Once I saw what was up, I used my PC and a white LC pad with some ZPC and bingo, they melted away.....



I have a dark gray LC pad and might try some PF II the next go around just to see what that combo can do. I'd like to use one machine if possible but, don't have a problem with finishing with an orbital if necessary......



That's part of the fun....:xyxthumbs
