Default A flex 3401 or a rotary for a newbie

Hi,

I started detailing a few month ago and i own a UDM. After doing a few car with the UDM, i'm not satisfied at all since it take too much time and it doesn't remove all the imperfection.

I'm looking to sell my UDM something more powerfull. I heard that rotary are dangerous to use when u are a newbie.

My questions are:

- how long does it take to be confortable with a rotary? (i'm planning to buy a few scraps panels to practice)

- Do you need a paint thinkness gauge when you use a rotary or just your feeling is enought?

- Also, can you compound, polish and wax with a rotary or do you still need a DA for the little job.

I know the flex 3401 is a powerfull machine but i'm scared that it would not take care of all the imperfection

Also, feel free to give me some advices.

Thanks
