Very nice. With this soft Nissan paint you'll need it.

Nice deal. I was going to buy one a few months back but realized I'd only use it maybe once or twice a year. Waxing, I've found, is best done by hand. The few areas I've needed to polish turned out fine with a soft towel and some elbow grease. Thus, that $200 turned into another track day!

Depends on what pad you are using and how much pressure you are applying. It's an art!

:iagree:

This is the key, pad and degree of polish plus pressure and speed all control the outcome.

I have owned one for about 5 years and just plain love it. I use it three time a year on both of my swirl free cars ;) Best of luck :tiphat:

yah, i only use one density pad for polishing and use 3 different polishes, different speeds, different pressure. works great for me. i like having a constant in the mix so i decided my pad stays consistent.

for waxing i use a soft pad.

It's very hard to hurt the paint with a DA polisher. Even with a orange pad and some extreme abrasive products. Now its using a rotary when you have to be careful. I've been using my PC for almost 8 years now. Still works perfect! It's paid for itself many times over!

Yep, I've seen inexperienced/careless rotary operators destroy paint!
