I know everyone raves about PC's but...

cause you can get a cooler yellow one pretty identical for 30- 35 quid inc vat

i think the point to these pc's, correct me if im wrong, i think they are light, aint so hard to burn through the paintwork and generally just used to get a finish with polish wax etc.

 

[mr_merc]

lmao. show me the yellow one then!

Isn't the pc one 2500-6000 rpm of something like that ??

It isn't random orbit, it's more like a rotary.

PC's are random orbit, therefore generating less heat/holograms etc.

Because you need skill to use a rotary or you will do damage!

Bear down to hard on a PC and it will bog and slow, push down on a rotary and it wont!

As rich says, the pc is very user friendly, the rotary above is quite hard to use and in the wrong hands could damage the paint

 

[mr_merc]

The reason I ask is because I've just used a rotary with some AG SRP (didn't bother buying anything more cutting as I didn't know whether I'd get on with a rotary) and even after a quick polish yesterday evening for a few hours it looks infinitely better.

I'm really pleased with the results and a rotary is a sizeable amount cheaper in any event, and I don't see as I had any problems with it. Just seems like common sense, don't stay on one area too long, apply even pressure and not in just one direction.

It is when you come to do any form of proper paint correction that the skill of using one is needed.

Only on expensive rotaries

Cheap ones bog down faster than a PC!

 

[Rich]

I may buy a cheap one then!
