These require a lot of skill to be used and something that you couldnt be used as a regular polisher. Not somehing i recommend tim. I wouldnt be comfortable using one.

 

[Tim]

cool that all i wanted to now . cheer's

 

[BRUN]

you need more than 2 speeds and they shouldnt be used by someone untrained/inexperienced

personally i wouldnt touch em mate

Leave well alone IMO - But if you do get one practice on loads of old panels first! Plus you will still need a PC to follow up after with to get a decent final hologram free paint finish until you become very good with the rotary.
