Well from my experiance it took me about 10 vehicles with full paint correction process to get confortable with my rotary. It takes time and just when you feel that you got it, you need to pay special attention when you get to this point becuase the body/brain will loose focus and as soon as you do that's when you can cause some damage to the vehicle. The thing with a rotary is that you have to fucus on what you doing at all times, never look away.

The purpose of the paint gauge is to give the user confidence of what your about to do or most importantly to help you gauge what your plan of attach will be for the paint correction process. If you don't use one your guessing, will I burn though the clear coat? Can the vehicle be polished? So far I've had one vehicle that I could not polish beucase of extremely thin clear coat. So the way to look at it is, do you risk it and hope for the best or do you spend spend the $500 to $600 on a paint guage and feel better about the paint correction process your about to begin....well just my

Rotarys are meant for compounding and polishing. For wax/glaze I'd stay with the DA.
