Yeah, we used to run them at 3000rpm back in the early 90`s. That was volume/body shop work though. Today it`s work smarter, not harder.

I have found the darker the surroundings the better I can see swirls. I have had the best luck in the garage at night with halogen lights or 5000K led. Turn off the other lights and the true condition of even white is evident.
I have used LED light bulbs on a photo stand, and recently picked up the Astro Pneumatic version of the Scan Grip flood light, which is great to work with.
Yes, exactly! That`s basically how I inspect everything, and not just vehicles, for marring.
For major defects, especially on lighter colors, I`ll go about it differently, but those are flaws that I can readily see, and I`ll still switch back to "dark environment/point-source lighting" once I`ve made some significant progress. Seeing flaws that`re so bad that they`re *texture* issues is just different, at least for me.
Thanks for the tips guys. I took the rotary to my wifes dark metallic blue Tahoe last weekend and it looked great to me afterwards. Ill never use my DA again.

Heh heh, it actually strikes me as weird that some here don`t get their families all on-board with the Autopian Standards thing...Accumulatorette went from zero to full-Autopian in no time as soon as we discussed the whole thing.
Eh, we just married the right people in each other. We basically have the exact same values, including simply "doing everything in Life properly." Most cosmetic imperfections, especially holograms/swirls/"the usual marring" are the result of doing something improperly, and we both try to never do that.
Heh heh...even *I* will agree that it`s not impossible to finish out perfectly via rotary! I just can`t do it every time on b/c paint and saw (past tense, sold the rotaries ) no point in trying.
It was no big deal for me to pick up a DA or a Cyclo and perfect my polishing job after I used a rotary. Standard procedure for me.
Treat it like it`s the only one in the world.
That`s what I did before today`s [stuff], but doing it with a V1.0 PC was so time-inefficient it was like torture whenever the Cyclo couldn`t handle the contours.
And I`ll note that for some reason the holograms on that Yukon XLD ("Granite metallic") were simply *MURDER* to get out..and that was after we managed to spot `em. By the time we finished that one, and then that e36 M3 (oh what was that paint called?!? Coppery metallic..Byzanz or somesuch, yeah, that`s it) was hard too, literally; the hardest paint I`ve *EVER* worked, much harder than (get this)...white ss Imron!
