Cool Got to play with my first Rotary

I have been chasing my bro for about a year to show me how to use one. Just been busy but yesterday we finally got a chance to practice.

It was on a Makita 9227c that has the bar over the top.

We practiced on his '87 Grand National which has really decent paint, just some swirls and nothing too crazy. He showed me proper technique and basically keep it moving, even, consistant, wipe and inspect/evaluate.

We just used Ardex "Seal B" and a White finishing pad but for the most part it was a great experience and I think I am going to move up to the bad boy. I do expect to find a junkyard body panel and practice on.
