I agree. Looks like Dan the painter is doing a great job so I would just let him do things the way he likes to do them. No point letting him experiment on your car.
If you thought you were going to use it more than once then yes. I’m in the Milwaukee ecosystem so I have one along with the da polisher and they both work great. I do a fair amount of work “offsite” so I like my cordless equipment for that. Or if I just need to hit a quick spot I don’t have to...
I get what you mean. I’ve always just preferred bc/cc myself. But single stage has a “richness” to it if you will. Then you have people that hammer clear on top ss. Maybe I’ll do one of my next bikes black ss. It’s been a while. I had a lot of contamination issues with my last ss job (years ago)...
Those are some fine machines you bought and should serve you well for a long time. I’d like a flex rotary but my 20 year old makita is still going strong. But I do have a flex xce 10-8 125. Which is just a little more refined 3401. I think the 3401 is still a touch more aggressive though.
That is a rotary and will do all the buffing and polishing you could want. Some people think it’s scary and you’re going to ruin your car. I don’t know, it’s what I learned on over 20 years ago. You could always get the feel for it on a scrap panel. Or harbor freight makes the Hercules geared...
One car? Harbor freight. Or possibly hire someone to buff it for you unless you really want experience the joys of buffing. Even cheap, your starting fresh, buffer, pads, compounds, etc.
I agree having a variable fan and controller is nice. I don’t wanna feel like I’m painting in a wind tunnel. I want as little as possible while still being able to see what I’m doing. Too much air just creates problems in many ways.
