Yvan Lacroix I don’t know if this is stupid Question just want to know if I can use MDR on ceramic coated vehicle? Coz I used before this water spots remover that I brought in canadian tire and actually harm my ceramic coated vehicle since then I’m scared to use any water spot remover. Thank you.
mouelle fabricante Optimum MDR is safe to use on vehicles protected with Gloss-Coat and Opti-Coat. With Si02 coatings some do not stand up to treatments with a low or high PH. Of the waterspot removers on the market though MDR is one of the safest.
Yvan Lacroix I was thinking about getting my first polisher. I’m a 16 year old detailers starting out. I was looking at getting a random orbital but a lot of people say the cut is not that good, do you think the random orbital will suffice or should I get a DA?
I'm a surveyor by profession and not a detailer, so my practical choice was essentially limited to one machine for all of my vehicles. After much research I opted for a DeWalt 849X rotary as it would cut and polish quickly and as long as I keep the RPMs DOWN and the machine MOVING at all times, it will be safe. Rotaries are also more versatile IMO- they can be used for sanding and polishing items other than cars, polishing glass with cerium oxide, etc. I've said this before and it's worth repeating: the rotary is the manual-transmission vehicle of polishers. There IS a steeper learning curve, but you do have COMPLETE control of the power applied regardless of the conditions you encounter.
I'm a rotary user. I cut and finish with one. In my option the only thing a DA is good for is a wax/sealant spreader. I've been doing paint correction/enhancement for 40 yrs. Great video as always.
I totally was one of those impressional enthusiasts that got caught up early on with the "dangers" of a rotary on social media. Making up for lost time trying to learn the differences in skill and application between a DA and rotary thanks for another informative video
I bought my first grinder/ polisher in 85 and it still works. Thats all we had and we back it up with an orbital polisher.. Yes technology changes but your skill sets is what's the key to a great finish.. Study your paints from the 60s to present and you'll get a better understanding on how to finish out your project.. Always look at other ways to enhance your business besides just doing exteriors and interiors and you'll stay busy and profitable.. Never be afraid to tackle something new like large construction equipment, semi trucks, horse trailers, lite aircraft rvs etc.. You'll be amazed on what customers will pay for if you have the skills and knowledge of the task at hand..
I'm quite inexperienced, but I quickly switched from a DA to a rotary for exactly the reasons Yvan said. I've only done light enhancement/correction work to date, and so far it's worked very well. A salesman at a detailing shop tried very hard to talk me in to using a DA - he looked at me like I was an idiot when I told him I use a rotary. I decided to ignore him. (he also told me the finishing polish I was using would "do nothing" - he's completely wrong about that too)
Spot on yvan and levi, their tools that have their place. I love rotary and forced but DA is great also. The UDOS will change the industry for the better. I love da correcting and rotary enhancing and finishing. The rotary makes the polish oil up and film on the surface in a way a DA never will. Thanks guys, im shooting a video series on rotary right now on my automotive surface care australia page on fb
I lean towards the rotory because lm more comfortable with it. Probably because its what l first learned to buff with. lol I have orbitals and da as well but for me its the rotory. Great video!
I do most of my cutting work with the Rotary, even polish sometimes..... then i give a last finishing touch with a DA..... "jeweling" like Brian at Apex detail would say!" all depending on the job at hand~!
Question as to using a rotary for the one step method Levi demo’d for a fast enhancement. If using rotary which pad type works best for that method, wool, foam, or hybrid? I assume either using a DA or rotary could do the job
If you are noob it`s safer to start with a dual-action but other than that orbital polishers sucks! I started straight from rotary 15years ago and can`t find a single task where da could overperform rotary polisher.
Use ONR for everything?! Haha. I think not! Full of polymers! Switch to feynlab pure rinseless at 1/3 oz per gallon and get more cleaning power that leaves nothing behind. Perfect for removing compound and polishes without marring soft paint. I use it to clean my countertops and floors and other delicate surfaces that are not gonna be good to use ONR for. So Feynlab Pure Rinseless. I use that shit on everything lol.
These guys are right but not truly accurate. Bottom line da finishes better easier. Rotary DOES cause damage to paint very easily but not burning through paint..its when you bump an adjacent corner with the edge of the backing pad. You get NO second chances with rotary. These newer cars with intricate body shapes is unncecessary risk taking with a rotary. Save your monies and buy a rupes lhr25, 75e, and ibrid nano and that's all you need. Forever.
Have any questions? Feel free to ask, the only stupid question is the one never asked.

What's the difference between hyperseal and optiseal? Not a lot of info on the new opticoat maintenance line but I'd love to know more!

NipkowDisk nice way of putting it, I also prefer driving a manual transmission!
@@LacroixCruiser Me too!!!
It's not the tool. It's the craftsmanship behind it. --old school saying

Been watching trc channel for about 3 days now... by the content I've found so far it's evident I've got some serious catching up to do!
I've used the rotary, i have used the DA and i've used the forced DA. I have to say i love the forced DA the most.
Need for every tool, and a tool for every need!
Great vid!!
I love the rotary 🤵🏻
Thanks a lot for this Great Video 👍🏻👍🏻
OK Gang~!! Lets Have a "Polishing Party"" ;-)-
“Even Dane can use one” LOL oh man I’m starting to feel bad for Dane
Dane has the humility to be able to accept that comment with a smile.
Yvan Lacroix this is why we all love Dane
"DA for cutting and rotary for finishing", thats news to me
Yvan, the detail philosopher.
“Dual action” and “random orbital” are the same thing correct?
Everday I learn something new from Ivan. Damnnn. Wish I can meet him one day and learn face to face
Show as how to use the “rotary”
solomon8864 with pleasure

Dan Morrissette next time you’re polishing a pure black paint, compare the finish from the rotary and DA.
@@danmorrissette4814 I jewel with my rotary 👍
@@LacroixCruiser i always used Rotary , love it! im new to da loll! ;-)-
Question as to using a rotary for the one step method Levi demo’d for a fast enhancement. If using rotary which pad type works best for that method, wool, foam, or hybrid? I assume either using a DA or rotary could do the job
thomkirby i like to use a orange of black waffle pad with Hyper Polish, and wipe off the residue with Optimum Car Wax.
That's a cool perspective but I wanted to get more of an understanding of when, where and why I should use one
That flex polisher looks nice but is over £600 in the UK. A lot of money
Ian Lomax those are just examples, brand isn’t important, find one that fits your budget and is comfortable for you.
I do have a flex 3401 is light easy to use. That was £370 at the time
Is nobody going to mention yolked Anthony? 😂😂

Great Video!
I work at body shops and they always use a rotary with wool pad iv never seen a dual action polisher at bodyshop why is that?
They use wool to cut,and foam to finish.The reason is speed,as most body shop are high production and they want alot of cars done in one day.
Also DeWalt
Rotary polisher usually used by people who work in body shops
I Only have pe14-2, for cutting & finishing.

I wish the cordless battery would last long enough to buff a hole car.
need a second battery
;-)
Weight would be more of an issue for me. Swapping batteries takes seconds and they charge faster than you can empty them.

Just thought I'd mention I've detailed over 300+ cars.
