ROTARY VS. DUAL ACTION POLISHER: which produces shinier paint? Yvan Lacroix explains

The rotary buffer is nearly a lost art -- nearly. But it's still around, for a reason, and I ask Yvan Lacroix to make the case for the rotary. Meantime -- at least when it comes to polishing -- I'm in love with my DA.
I also ask...why do panels I compound with a rotary always seem so deep with gloss after I've polished them?!

As a auto painter , we used FLEX rotary polisher, 3M finalcut. And later I was starting a mobile detailng buisness and I found that I got a more perfect cutting when spraying a little water on the pad, it saves money as it deactivate the compund.

@cynthiaenglish2736 2 года назад

I’ve learned a lot from your videos, Nick and all of the tips I’ve implemented from Yvan’s videos have been winners. You two are great together! This was a very interesting perspective; I really enjoyed the discussion about the waffle weave pads - intuitively, it just makes sense. I think my next polisher purchase will be a rotary. I hope you will continue to make videos.

I've been detailing sence 84 . Started with a b&d rotary. Out of the 70s . Big heavy piece of metal . One speed . Got a flex rotary in 1990 . Used it for 15yrs . Got another flex and still use it to this day . Never go over speed 2 . I have a couple da's. Maxshine 15 series 2 and the 21 . Still find myself going back to the rotary most of the time . Main thing for me is condition of paint. Newer cars, not alot of blems I will use the da but if its pretty beat up it's the rotary all day .

@matthewgibb2640 2 года назад

the best pad for a rotary today for cutting and not leaving swirls or only a tiny amount (all bar soft paint in most cases) is a deburred wool pad. The hooks/barbs in wool pads for decades were the reason for the swirls, not the actual wool fibres. I believe rupes yellow DA wool and blue wool to be a deburred wool. Final Inspection Australia has one as well.

@Audittr2108 2 года назад

I’m not a pro and started machine polishing in 2006 with a Porter Cable (which I had to import to the UK) then moved up the the rotary. I got a long throw DA about the time the Rupes LHR15 mk2 came out and have used the rotary much since. Maybe it’s time I dug it out!

@LucaBonato 2 года назад

Rotary for sure. Finishing and cutting is way better. The smallest the orbit the better is the finish, the duetto has 12mm, a rotary 0, but you need the Zenith methods. Also with some aggressive tecnique you can just level down the orange peel 😅 DA was born to just skip the learning curve and make the work way faster

@@HawkProDetailing you need a long superfinishing polish like menzerna 3500/scholl s30+. Start at 1000 and slowly go down to the lowest speed... See Paul dalton or depaip ( the king of detailing in Italy ).

@STILLNIGHTPEARL 2 года назад

@@LucaBonato you can definitely finish with a rotary 100% hologram free, haze free, a lot of guys simply never learned how to do it, that’s why they cut with a rotary and finish with a DA, DA is much easier to learn, there’s not much to it.

Nice video to people in learning polishing. Need to say, not all machines are designed for low speed runing for best performance. some are better in gear 2, and some are better in gear 4-5. you need check the parameter and find the best gear poistion before using it.

@AnteekeBro 2 года назад

Now this is interesting... I have a Makita rotary I can try. But it's always been DA for me for many years. Most of my jobs consist of 1 step correction to keep as much clear as possible on the car while still making a big improvement so I think DA would be better in that aspect, right?

@Detailers-Business-Academy 2 года назад

For one steps it really comes down to personal preference. Having had a few Makita 9227’s, they are a solid machine, but very heavy.

Any thoughts or updates to the video with McKee's, the one about using a rotary with a wool pad to clean fabric? Would a DA work better for removing stains from fabric upholstery?

@Detailers-Business-Academy 2 года назад

A DA with a microfibre pad is best on leather. For fabric wool and a rotary do a better job.

@matthewgibb2640 2 года назад

@@HawkProDetailing no matter what speed that you use it at, if you slow the machine speed down by 200 rpm each pass after the first few passes then you will get a great finish. Don't buff at higher speed then stop always slow down and increase your arm speed to reduce the chance of holograms.

@sacooper802 2 года назад

I have a Bauer 8mm throw DA ITS totally WORTHLESS, especially if your doing cut and buff on new finishes. I haven't tried a 20mm throw DA and maybe that's the answer to make any progress, but until I get a 20mm throw to try out DA Im sticking with my rotary machine, it cuts and polishes way way better than a 8mm throw DA. Careful as the rotary is aggressive so slow speed and low angleand low pressure for sure, it will will do the work no problem. I use a wool rotary for cut and black waffle for polish.

@johnlanore599 Год назад

Few questions, if im working on a 2016 blk gmc sierra 1500. I heard the paint or clear is soft. Im not sure just what people say. Do I start with a da with a wool pad n finish with a rotary with a blk non flat pad? (waffle) Also How many of each pads would you use? The truck is in good condition but there are quite a few swirls in the paint with the paint light or in direct sun. Ive never polished before on a vehicle. Only on gelcoat (boats) Also what speed do you prefer on the rotary n da

so for someone new to paint corection overall a Regular Rotary Polisher. For both cutting and polishing waffle pad or Microfiber? 6" okay for doing both??? Can you also recommend some Brands and Models please?

@HawkProDetailing Год назад

honestly if you're brand new....i wouldn't touch a rotary. There are a lot of polishers out there but this is my favorite DA for the price and for the cutting power you get from it plus it finishes down nicely: amzn.to/3Ov9pwc

@btbd2785 Год назад

@@HawkProDetailing I have looked at shinemate and they have gotten great reviews. why not a rotary polisher? I have done some small correction using a 3 4" pad attached to a drill. which spins one way like a Rotary Polisher. Still though I would like to know why you would not recommend a Rotary Polisher.

@HawkProDetailing Год назад

@@btbd2785 Rotary is great but it takes a learning curve, I don't know anybody besides Yvan who recommends finishing with a rotary. It's like buying a Samsung. great phone. But if you want to have everybody around you able to help you, you get an iPhone because life is just easier. Everybody these days is learning on, and using, DA. It's just a part of the modern day ecosystem. DAs are easier to learn and safer, usually, on paint. Hope that helps!
