I have done a search and haven't found anything on this subject. I was messing around with some products, one side I was applying DACP with my PC and the other side I was using a rotory. By the way DACP is a pretty good product. Anyway when I was using the rotory I kept getting rotory hop. Method of application: I primed the pad by spraying some clay lubricant and then putting an X pattern of product on the pad, started off slow and worked the product in. As I was working in the product the pad seemed like it was grabbing and started to hop. I think I am either not working it in enough or I am working it too much. When using the rotory when do you know that enough is enough? Some people tell me that when you can barley see the product you should stop. I followed that rule and the pad kept hopping. I am not getting a smooth flow with the rotory that I should. :nixweiss
 
What kind of RPMS were you spinning at? How fast were you moving the rotary? You might have applied to much product and caused the pad to load up...or moving it too fast across the surface, or too high of RPMs. Just a few things that come to mind without seeing your technique.

Try slower RPMS, with slower movement across the surface, and try "spurring" the pad if it loads up with a lot of product.

While using DACP I buff it until it is almost gone.

One other thing I just thought of is to try and let your body move with the movement of the rotary...dont try and push and pull it, work with the way buffer wants to move not against it.

Hope this helps a little.
