Maganda kung magdadala na rin tayo ng "tools" para may demo (parang clinic) on how to do things correctly from the masters! I really want to see how proper rotary usage is done!

Baka meron din dyan willing to part with their semi-used/unused detailing items na mahirap hanapin sa pinas (for a price). hehehehe.

Kaya lang nahihiya ako dalin ride ko. Halata pa pagiging noob ko. Dami rin ako noob mistakes na makikita sa car ko. Pero ok na rin yun para makakuha ng constructive criticism!

Mejo madilim na naman sa labas. Sana wag umulan. Sana nga rin meron tayong weatherometer para alam natin kung anong oras pwede ilabas yung kotse. Yung tipong merong time kung ilang minutes/hours pa bago umulan. heheheh.

Dehadista: Is that the Meguiar's Car Polishing Video? Meron din dito free!

Autopia's Megs Polishing Vid

Para ngang gusto ko na bumili ng rotary. The video(s) makes it look easy. ehehehe. Kaya lang dami ko nababasa na horror stories na kahit matagal na rotary user, nagkakamali pa din. Heheheh.

patopig: You'd have to practice on a "Sacrificial" car, you dad's xty?

Seriously, a Rotary is a pretty serious investment (around 9K++), you'd have to spend time to practice, trial and error lang yan, even professionals screw up.

isa na ako dyan

I have scratches, burns, holograms etc hahaha! Mahirap nga for a newbie. Dapat may "sacrificial lamb" ka

something to test on

mahal kase porter cable, and its 110v only. unique pa yun backing plate and pads nya

Hehehehe. Yup. Merong B&D na rotary for around 5k. Ok naman daw ata sya in terms of torque and speed settings. Baka yun bilin ko pero sa pasko na siguro. hehehehe.

Gamitin kong sacrificial car yung sa sister ko! Hehehehe.

if you guys want a demo, maybe we can visit bigberts and ask vince for a demo sabay detail na

dun na rin tayo mag eb.

mahirap mag-rotary.. but there's always a first time for everything. but as I said before, the steep learning curve is worth it.

mabilis ang trabaho pag yun ang gamit. I've had buffer burns, holograms and other errors na din over the years. you'll learn from these mistakes and know how to avoid them in the future once you encounter said mistakes. pag buffer burn, repaint na talaga.. learned it the hard way.. hehehe kumukulubot yung finish. yikes!

practice on a beater car (preferably light colored) before moving to your prized possession.

Just got 4 ounce bottles of Vanilla Moose, Four Star UPP and Poorboys EX-P. I'll try out the VM+UPP combo this weekend and will post some pics. BTW, if any of you guys are interested in a sealant, Sneaky of Pinasdetailing is selling repackaged bottles (4oz) of EXP and UPP (althou ubos na ata UPP).
