Yes!, Breaking down product is one of the most part

Default Left side was not worked long enough and/or at a fast enough speed.

I've had the same opinion until I worked the area longer and at a faster speed. After changing my methods, I get the results on the right with a PC.

Default move along, nothing to see here.

you changed all three variables (pad, polish, and tool) and expect the results to be meaningful?

all a post like this does is stir **** up needlessly.

ps. i've no doubt that a rotary can get things done faster, but an orbital can match the results you've shown and then some.

Are you saying Adam's polishes are superior to Menzerna?

Default As many have pointed out this is not an attempt at laboratory comparison between product, pads or...

machines. Rather it is simply Liam's previous experience with a random orbital machine and possibly a combination of an unsuitable polish for the task, incomplete breakdown of product, incorrect pad type/conditioning, insufficient work time, and a relatively ineffective machine compared to his recent experience with a high speed circular polisher.

I hope that as more users become experienced with random orbital machines, they will carefully experiment with rotary machines. Watching and working with an experienced detailer helps the learning curve a great deal while removing much of the damage potential when first using a high speed, circular polisher.

For the record the polish used was the PO85RD 3.02 available from Phil at detailers domain
