Paul just emailed me this short (30 seconds) video of him using the rotary. I will find out what pad, speed, and chemical was being used.



Hope you all enjoy.

Geez...after watching that video he makes the rotary look just as easy as the PC....:nixweiss



However I am sure there is alot more to it. I would love to learn how to use mine. Guess I need to break it out and get practicing.
 
I'm sorry, but using a rotary 1 handed is not smart. This guy might do expensive details on exotic vehicles, but buffing with 1 hand and video taping it is just showing off. It doesn't show any skill other than being foolish enough to take a chance at screwing up. There's no rationale or science defending it other than to show off. I can't help but to make fun of it.

There is no doubt that Paul is a talented detailer like countless others on the board, but I have to wholeheartedly agree with the above statement. It doesn't sound like to high of speed and the pad looked to be a finishing or polishing pad, but it just isn't smart to do the one handed buff.

I dont see anything wrong with it. I have done that many of times especially on the roof of a car where positioning myself to use both hands is near impossible on some vehicles. NOW, i only do what Paul did with a finishing pad. A cut pad with compound, I would not attempt one handed. Give the guy some slack, I dont feel he is trying to show off.

Wow I never knew you could go so fast when using a rotary. Very cool vids keep them coming

I would imagine in both vids he is doing a final polish step. I have never moved the buffer that fast! lol I probably move a third of the speed he is going.
 
Anyone notices that all these videos were posted by vxrmarc, the same guy that's SUPPOSEDLY just a "customer" who wears a Zymol polo, with Zymol and detailing products all around his garage yet still would foolishly overpay for a detail on a BRAND NEW daily driver.



This guy has nothing better to do all day than follow PD around and videotape him? Is it just me or does it seem like there's been some Zymol marketing machine around here lately?

It's only that easy when you're on a horizontal surface at a super low speed.

I totally agree. Even at speed 1 on the Makita, which you can control 1-handed, there is really no reason to. The machine can still hop or get away from you.



I think Pauls a fine detailer, but I am not sure why this vid means anything? I dunno, just a guy using a rotary to perform some finishing polishing.

One thing you can notice from the vehicle is the lack of masking. Once you get to a certain stage of proficiency with the rotary you dont need to mask up everywhere as I would recommend when learning, however the wiper fluid jets are plastic, and just a light past on them with the buff can destroy them.
 
Pretty cool as its the first time Ive *seen* a rotary used. Although it looked like he was just applying a finishing polish and moving very very fast no set path, it was still cool to see.

i like to see vids like this as well. i won't critique him since i am a rotary beginner...and i also do not see a need to bash him like many do. if he posted on here and said he charged $150/detail, most would say how great he is. if he charges thou$ands...they say he isn't all that. whatever. we would all charge that if we could. more power to him.
 
:D go find the Meguiar's DVD and watch Mike Pennington use a rotary like it is nothing. The rotary is almost always perfectly flat and the polisher travels in perfectly straight lines!
