You need a rotary to remove deep scratches in the paint, the PC is no good for anything more than surface scratches. I never use mine anymore, much better using the DA on the air line as the pc vibrates far too much and spoils the final finish!

Arent those pressure washers the re-branded karcher ones? if so think i may have to procure one!

Not really true, a PC will correct the same marks as a Rotary, if you have the time !!! Rotary will always leave a crisper finish if you have the skills.

This is what has been said on Detailing World before, which makes it great value.

Do you not find with a rotary u can add swirls very easily? Esp on black/dark colours! My PC was a pile of pish! As said I much prefer the DA as it does the same job and doesn't vibrate as much so leaves a better finish!

That is the art to a rotary getting a perfect finish with one, which is why lots of people finish off with a PC type machine after.

Not really swirls, more hologrammes or marring which either a follow with the PC, or a hit with FF will get rid of these

Black brings out the finish better imo (RD3.02 down to LSP) with a rotary.
The PC was struggling with the Merc paint but it was a breeze with the rotary. Well I say a breeze, the whole van took 14 hours.

Oh and a DA is a Porta Cable
