What do you all think In my life, I cannot count how many times I've read a post like yours, watched the person buy a polisher and then said, I can't believe I didn't do this years ago Phillips Autogeek I can't believe I didn't do this years ago In fact a friend recently asked me about getting a polisher.
Phillips Autogeek In my life, I cannot count how many times I've read a post like yours, watched the person buy a polisher and then said, I can't believe I didn't do this years ago The best decision I ever made, LOL. As I recall, Mike, you helped me make that decision.
Interestingly enough, I still use that old PC. The G came with a lifetime guarantee from Meg's and it likely will outlast me as I'm pushing 70 now and have pretty much retired. This tool has saved me hundreds of hours over the years. The DA has been my single most used and clearly the best tool I ever purchased. Don't hesitate to buy a DA, you will thank yourself over and over again throughout the years. Thanks, Mike. I think you should buy a DA polisher with some 5.
You will not regret the purchase after owning the black truck and the polishing equipment for a few years. Think of it this way Being that this stuff is pretty hard work, what would you say a fair hourly rate for the labor to do it would be? At what rate of pay would you be willing to do this type of work for if a friend or neighbor asked you to do it for them? Take your number X 20 hours the time it takes you to do it by hand , and figure in the recovery time that it takes for all of your muscles to return from a state of soreness where you can't stand the thought of doing any other type of work until you've healed up from your truck detailing duties.
Try to put a dollar figure together that makes sense. Come spring time, after you've pushed snow and ice off of your Tacoma all winter. Wouldn't it be safe to say, "Your black truck will be in need of some sort of attention in regards to how the paint looks"? What other uses are there for a rotary if you keep the car swirl free?
Cheers fellas, Mark. Post by bunji » Thu Aug 19, am Clearly you have looked into this dilema. DA v Rotary. DA is a damn good place to start with machine polishing, with the next step being a rotary machine. I own a Megs DA and it serves me well, I use it on only 1 car - mine. The rotary machines tend to give better results, but the risks are greater. There was an excellent write up on here, which I can't find right now but am sure someone will know where to look.
That is worthy of a read, iirc it was by PJGH. It tells of how he went from first using a rotary and how they work etc.. Wether to buy a machine a not - thats a personal choice. The others will come along in time and add there own opinions. Good luck in which ever route you choose. As long as your careful it will give you fantastic results, and be easier to use than the DA as there is no vibration and greater control in my opinion.
As for should you buy one, thats up to you. I use mine for my business, hence why I have another one currently on the way to me.
But if you only have one car to do it may not be worth the expense. As for getting a Pro to sort it for you, surely that is going to be less of a sense of achievement for you. At least if you buy one and do it yourself you can say "I did that". And for a full detail most pros will charge you more than the machine will cost anyway. As for buying polishes, buy some sample sizes so that your investment is less again, most samples will be enough to do cars to be honest.
If you invest in the kit and find you dont use it much, I'm sure there will be someone here that will, via the swap sections. Consider it as an investment since it will make polishing your car faster and more effectively. Before paying for this type of detailing equipment, you should consider its quality, speed range, throw, weight and price. This way, you can be sure that your car polisher will be functional for a long time ad not end up as another piece of junk in your garage.
