as per thread I can only have a few at my end due to space, unless anyone has an area or unit we could use and all meet up ? (would need access to power and water)

Sorry I forgot about Easter and a wedding I've got to go to!!

I can do:

12 April - If we start early and finish by 1pm.
- sun 13 Apr (If we start later, say noon start)
- sat 3rd May
- sun 4th May

Cheers

Yes, that did come up nice, oh and note them not using a dual action polisher, they used the MOP same as mine (sort off)

I think I'm right in saying (prepared to be shot down now) that pro detailers rarely use a DA as they are skilled and experienced with the rotary which polishes at double the speed or more that a DA can. DAs are better for the novice (like me) who don't want to risk burning through the paint.

I know that some detailers offer lessons on how to use a rotary polisher.

That's probably a fair assumption.

Ok interesting Enzo - this makes me realise I am doing the right thing using a DA. As I don't have a paint depth reader, if I was to use a rotary polisher I would definitely be running a risk on the plastics (front and rear bumpers and sills) and other thinly painted sections.

Would you say a rotary works at twice the speed or more than a DA? I have noticed it does take me a long time with the DA, but maybe that's just my (poor) technique as well.

rotary only works faster not due to speed but as it spents more time on one spot, a DA even when stationary will not stay on one spot

yes DA is ideal for bumpers, as a rotary even on thick paint could cause heat and cause the top coat to haze
