Paint correction using rotary

[darkdezigns]

no risk when u can get to the edge and not touch,i don't clay cause i don't need to lol,anyways lets agree to differ,ps loving the flocked wheels idea

[AffectiontoDetail]

How do you get a 6" pad into a corner then without touching the plastic....

I'm gonna come and clay your car one day just to show you :P

[AffectiontoDetail]

Just to add, these pads don't have a sharp edge so you need the tape to get to the edge safely.

[darkdezigns]

i remember when i needed to mask trim up

[AffectiontoDetail]

Well I dont see a point on not doing it, why take the risk? There is no way you can get to the edge properly without it being taped.

Imo its cutting corners over a safety margin and finish. But then you don't clay either....

[AffectiontoDetail]

As its DA it has more of a smeraing action as such, where as the rotary cuts. It's this that gives a sharper finish.

[AffectiontoDetail]

Both are fine, the 3403 will be harder to use but will give a better finish and faster.

[detailindude]

Man, I move the machine faster than that via DA, your heat build up is going to be incredible, your speeds are all over the shop.

[AffectiontoDetail]

Zenith Technique, look it up ;)

It's all in the heat management. Been doing it 9 years, no problems yet :D

bloody hell mate get a stool or box or back will be agony after a while! especially with that B and Q angle grinder you are polishing that mini with LOl....joking of course, did that mini have a clear coat or was it a solid colour top coat?

[AffectiontoDetail]

Have broken my back already so too late for a stool.

Its a 6 speed load sensitive rotary.

Clear over base.

[willd0g]

doesn't sound like it keeps constant speed properly under load....unlike a makita :P

[AffectiontoDetail]

Which bit is that happening at then? Its changing speed primarily as my finger is rolling the dial adjusting it...

Also I think you'll find the underpinnings are exactly the same as a Makita and that it has a built in electronic speed controller which maintains constant speed under load.

Its also priced better which means it can be replaced more often. Nothing like turning up to a job with battered and overused equipment.

Nice

[darkmoca]

its a makita

[AffectiontoDetail]

Its a Kestrel branded machine, please see below.

[AffectiontoDetail]

Just to add, someone else edited the video, just spotted the spelling mistake :P

[NeilMag83]

What rotary is that?

[AffectiontoDetail]

Hi, its the Kestrel. Most of the top end rotaries are the same internally, just rebranded outside. Very similar to the Makita but without the price tag to match.

[NeilMag83]

Thanks mate... Seen your link regarding the comment about the Kestrel on detailing work and followed the link...

Im very tempted to get the Kestrel! It seems great value.

[AffectiontoDetail]

Just make sure you get the latest version with the electronic speed controller in it.

[NeilMag83]

Thanks mate, I think autopaint-pro sell the latest version with the speed controller in it.

[AffectiontoDetail]

About 15hrs. Roof was in quite a bad condition, required 3 hits, medium cut, light cut and finishing polish. Rest of the body was finished with 1 hit of Menz IP on a light cutting pad.

Nice car. How many hours work went in to it?
