Who would ever say these videos are too long? There's so much knowledge here. Never too much! Thank you both for sharing with us!!
Glad you like them! - Yancy
Thanks Caroline. The thing about complainers and trolls is if they don't like something on the Interweb - all they have to do is >click< away. -Mike Phillips
I’ve used everything from long throw to forced rotation etc and I always find myself back on the rotary. Smooth running, zero vibration and FAST.
Every detailer should watch this video. It provides great tips on working in the real world.
This was a really good presentation!
I wasn't using a rotary at work today, but I was listening while using the random orbital.
You guys had me laughing too!
Glad you guys are healthy and happy. Keep on with the videos. They're full of information, humor, and fun.
When Mike puts that polisher on the trunk lid, my skin crawls! Hilarious that Mike can't keep his hands off that Nano!
Love the Nano Long Neck in Rotary Mode. Wish the battery technology was better but it is what it is. -Mike Phillips
I started with a Miilwaukee rotary and wool pads in the 80s-90s....I didn't know enough to be afraid of em! Now hearing everyone talk I'm surprised I didn't ruin every car I deatiled(100s) :)
I just bought a rotary last week. Holy cow what a difference! It's so much less work. Beautiful finish...takes some getting used to in how to not let it get away from you but once you got it, so much easier.
Learning the rotary on my mom's white 2002 corolla!
Absolutely priceless information IMO! Thanks guys!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I use M105 with Rupes blue wool pads with their Mk3 15 and WOW the cutting power amazes me everytime
greetings from Lithuania :) love your videos, i have learned basics of buffing and polishing from vids like this , done bunch of practise,still i am an amateur but always trying different pad and compuonds to find my favourite combos. I started with rotary by restoring plastic headlights and for now doing whole car. still its just like side job I hope one day i will afford to buy decent DA to do projects with more quality tuoch :)
Wellllll. After watching probably 30 hours maybe 40 of different videos on detailing the outside of my car, I have washed it, clay barred it, compounded it, and done the touch up paint with the correct paint color from autozone.
After touching up the probably 500 to 1000 chips in the paint since moving to Virginia I find something that auto geek, sweet project car and others never told me.
The paint on my car has faded and will not match the paint that's in the pen. Something I think that any man that does detailing should know and should share.
What do you use to polish over a large decal or strips ?
Whats the best way to remove a decal - such as on a 97 camaro ss?
Would steam work ?
My main tool I use 99% of the time is a forced rotation DA, the Mille, I own a rotary, am not proficient in it, but given the Mille I just don’t really see why I should use the rotary. Any insights into that?
It's called,
"Use what works for you"
Nothing wrong with using a forced rotation and FORCED OSCILLATION RUPES Mille. If I wasn't an 8mm guy I would use the RUPES Mille but I prefer 8mm over 5mm gear-driven orbital action. -Mike Phillips
What compound brands you use? And what grits?
Currently I use a fairly wide variety of different products when I detail cars or teach car detailing classes. One thing for sure though - I only use products that use GREAT abrasive technology. If you have not read my article on abrasive technology, here's the link.

Ty vm guys
You are legends
good stuff 👍👍👍👍👍
Stupid question probably... Can an orbital be used though the whole process to avoid the holographic pattern? I've always hand waxed and buffed my vehicles, but am getting too old to continue by hand.
Hi I'm using my dill at the moment on my own vehicle. But the problem I have is there are so many to choose from , I just don't no where to start.
I have a tattoo of that exact same polisher
Thank you for so great information. I just started w rotary but I think I made a mistake buying the Milwaukee cordless w 6.0 batt, it’s so heavy. Batt doesn’t lady and charge time so long. What would you recommend us. I m thinking abt getting the rupes or the cordless flex. I already have the pxe80 I love it. Thanks
Iam 53 years old back in the day rotor craftsman 33 years ago. Trying start detailing business so don t have any equipment working by hand.
No it's what I started on but luv my 21 long throw better better at every thing
Can anyone comment on if the "micro-tool" style polishers could be replaced by a die-grinder or 'Dremel' , provided you had the pad/compound combination dialed-in properly.
I ask because have an M12 cordless die grinder, with 3 speeds.
Or would I just be better off using a drill w/ attachments? Thanks.
Can you finish with a Gear Driven Dual-Action Polisher?
That's is only for the HIGH SPEED ROTARY, Not for the normal low speed high torque that you would you for most jobs. That attachment you can add up to a 2 inch
It is the RUPES polisher
WHY would you go up on edge with a sander on a headlight
Great questions James and it's not that you SHOULD go up on an edge with a sander on a headlight it's just no one is perfect and an easy mistake to make. -Mike Phillips
Back in the early 80's I used the rotary buffers w/the old wool bonnet and pads. Thats pretty much all they had back then as buffing or detailing business were all pretty new. Left my signature on a few cars and it sucked on black cars. Leaving swirl marks. Used this hand polish called Ebony back then to help get rid of swirl marks. It worked pretty good. Most cars back then were enamel and it was real easy to buff w/the wool pads. Easy one-step! Put myself thru college w/my recon business 83-85.
Agree, back then we don't have all the great tool, pad and products choices that are available today. Sometimes I see people complain there are too many choices and it makes it confusing to decide what to buy. I always say to these people given the choice between too few choices and too many choices - I would opt for too many. :) -Mike Phillips
What does 10k worth of detailing products even look like? 🤣
A lot! lol - Yancy
No.its best tool.to remove really bad stuff cut my teeth on it
Love your videos but a little long winded get to the point a little faster please please
1 hour and 52 minutes for this? No, thanks...
Too much talking .
That's for a high speed rotary not like the lower speed rotary a like the Rules LH19E or other newer rotary tools. In fact the rules you can start way below 1000And it tops out at 1900 RPM I believe.
So if i already have the flex corded rotary would you recommend the flex cordless rotary or the rupes corded rotary?
