Default Rotary to PC

Wow...so today I had my buddies F150 up here for a detail. I endedup not having a rotary here, which I had been using for the last few details. let me tell you...once you use a rotary there is just no going back to a PC for cutting! I can't believe how long this takes to break down product compared to the rotary, it actually astounds me how slow it feels!

Yup, I agree. There is no way I'm going back to a PC or DA machine for that matter. I like my Cycle and all but only use it if I really have too.

Must have been a long detail, specially an F150

I was here at 7am, finished it...for the most part...by 330. I just put the final coat of LSP on it now. I'm ready for a nap!

I think I might give mine to my friend...he doesn't detail much and is still in love with the PC. He won't ever use a rotary, he's really scared of them.

I am so glad I learned on a rotary many years ago. My only problem I have is the people who are afraid to use the pc because they might burn paint.

Yup, I was one of those people afraind of even bringing a polisher near my vehicles...the PC is great for people that are scared of burning paint but some people are stuck on there ways.

I say try seomthing new, if you don't try you'll never know but then again that's just me.
