Default Rotary holograms

Hi guys,

I was wondering if any of you uses a rotary buffer to compound/polish cars? It seems nowadays only DA buffers are used to bring the shine back.

They're easier to use but they don't ''cut'' like a rotary. In the past I have repair some pretty good scratches with the wet sanding and rotary. The thing is, I can't find a way to have a show room finish with my rotary. There is always some holograms left (black cars are the worst). Ive tried going slow/fast use a different pad/compound but I can't get my STI to shine.

Should I just buy a random orbit and be done with it or is there really a secret to finish like a pro?
thanks for the help
