    I know there are some people that Finish straight to LSP from rotary. I am just curious to how many people do this or how many of the users finish with a D/A.

    Once again just curious on what users use most often.
    :whistle:

    It depends on what I'm working on and how the paint reacts.

    I like both depending on the paint and product. Sometimes once you get moving on a couple sets you realize that one machine will end up being easier and faster than the other. Depends also on the type of polishing service I am doing..

    unless I'm working on something with extremely soft paint, I do everything with rotary. It finishes off just fine. I haven't used my UDM in months.

    Most of the time, what pad you you guys use for rotary finishing?

    Sorry for the noon questions, I am just curious to what others are doing.

    Keep in mind these answers will be more so paint and product dependent.

    I use anything from green, white, blue/black.

    I know that everything is paint dependent to determine the best tool for the job.

    I am just trying to get better at finishing with a rotary..... i have been currently finishing with blue but want to try finishing with Black pad on a rotary.

    Depending on whos black pad you use it has a slight cut to it, you need to use a pad with no cut to it to final polish with.

    On a general detail, just your average joe looking for a 2 step correction, I will usually finish with a Blue Uber finishing pad, which is a finishing pad. That does not include jeweling the paint, for that you would use a no cut pad. I would not recommend going from a say, P203S/Polishing pad to a 85RD/Glaze(no cut) pad, since it may not be enough to cut out the holo's and haziness from the other combo.

    I only use the rotary... have been finishing with 85rd or PF if it is in really bad shape... I do a lot of one steppers though... then it is SIP on Green and it finishes how it finishes....

    Does 85Rrd or Ultrafine remove buffer marring with a black or blue pad?

    In my experience yes always..... but I don't usually get that much buffer marring as I use some softer pads...

    I mostly reaching for the rotary when finishing, and then I use either power-, super-, or final finish.
