I like this video because you're showing the rotary on a vertical panel and talking about how to work certain body lines. There are too many videos on KZitem where the detailer talks about how easy a polisher is to use and then they demonstrate on a flat test panel.

First my rotary skills are weak compared to Yvan! He is right about working within your shoulders as reaching for me causes the rotary to jump around. For me I think of the 10-2 rule to remind me which way the rotary is spinning. You will know very quickly when you polish a curved surface the wrong way. Yvan has been preaching for a long time how a rotary does not micromar if used correctly. The final finish is crisper and cleaner because a dual action polisher will always leave micromarring in the paint. This skill set does take repetition but is worth it. Thank you Yvan for your lessons as I truly appreciate your teachings!

What is the advantage of polishing with a rotary instead of a DA?
@diydetailofficial

it gives you superior gloss to finish with a rotary vs a DA. Try it side by side with a DA, and when you step back from 5 feet away (disregard what you might see with a scan grip headlamp or in the dark shop with one isolated light on it, that's only what detailers see) the GLOSS from the rotary side is superior.

Yvan, I have a question on the LC 4000 and what cleaning solutions to use. I notice you use rinseless wash in there. I just got my LC4000 and their dedicated packets of pad cleaning solution. Would rinseless be more advisable to use during the polishing? Just thinking a real polish pad cleaning solution may interfere with polish and/or car paint if pads damp with it. And rinseless may provide more lubrication to pad. Maybe use packets of solution for thorough cleaning at end of session? Thanks!

@@diydetailofficial I know speed creates heat, but the working time will be less, because the pad will be moving across the surface faster. This may, in theory, result in the same amount of heat. Just as an aside, I note with interest that the instructions on the bottle of my Optimum Hyper Polish say to use a speed range up around 1600rpm, which is significantly higher than Yvan recommends for your Gold polish. I'm curious to know whether Yvan used 1600 with the Optimum when he was working for them. 😀 (maybe for cutting only?)

It is shocking and unbelievable when someone pays you big money to professionally fell some big trees and you are not even proficiently comfortable (at the least) in holding and using a REAL chainsaw. The detailing industry has been invaded and still infested by many jobless Westerners who need to start becoming a “detailer”, but with no professional to properly teach him/her how to professionally use the main tool of the trade…the Rotary. Thankfully, business-minded money hungry entrepreneurs were smart enough to use American social to promote the hugely over-priced, premium branded, home hobbyist DA machine as THE detailing machine so that Jose from across the border, illegals, and jobless parents can quickly pick up a DA and call themselves “professional detailers” and start “installing” coatings. This is how the American and UK detailing industries are killing themselves. A genuine professional detailer should absolutely know how to professionally use ALL types of polishing machine. Sadly, most American “detailers” are commandos who only know how to use pistols and nothing else.

The pad washer is the best way to clean your pad, but if that's not for you and you don't want to remove the pad to dunk it in the Rinseless bucket and wring it out... some people use compressed air. Not our favorite method, it will degrade the pad faster than how we teach, but if you're looking for another option...there you go:)
