Charlie is incredible, have been to nampa a few times. random orbit is fantastic but the main problem with rotaries leaving swirls/holograms from experience watching body shops and others in Australia polishing was that the wool was not laser treated aka deburred and even in the last ten years until very recent times, many still are not. Deburred wool doesnt mark paint on rotary or DA 95% of the time. Plus so many body shops i've visited to teach never kept their pads clean enough, work clean and didn't use enough pads. The products they used rip and tear at the paint to correct it, they were not spherical abrasives. Plus the pad has to be perfectly centred or it could leave swirls. The technique years ago with many was high speed and no refining as they corrected so holograms were not ultra fine, they were heavier. Using DA first then rotary finish is my choice but each to their own. Sand finer, polish less too. Been saying it for fifteen years. One blue universal foam and a finishing polish after final sanding with either 3000 ,5000, 8000 or 12000 and your done. Im still learning too though, i never stop.

No offence, but this kind of hate of the rotary is non sense. Rotary tends to hologran, the DA gives haze. If you want you can correct with a finisher. You can do a one step with the rotary too.

You're certainly entitled to your opinion, but we manufacture, sell, and train on multiple movements (including rotary) and always recommend that the user choose the right movement for their particular application. When dealing with paint at the level Charley is spraying the BigFoot random orbital system provides the highest potential for cut and finish in the fewest steps. If you are experiencing haze with a random orbital it is a matter of adjusting technique and product to the surface, not an incurable byproduct of the movement.
Certainly, you can drive nails by hitting them with the end of a screwdriver, but a hammer is more effective for the job. The same logic applies here. There is always multiple ways to get a result, and choosing the one that does the best for that particular job (for you) most efficiently is all that really matters.
