Rotary VS DA, the controversial decision

[@boldstreetlad]

I literally detailed a tractor here in Canada today, farm equipment is very lucrative for my business in winter. I used a rotary 2 step on the John Deere green, Gold standard polish both steps, but wool pad first speed 2, then foam pad speed 1. Ceramic gloss and one happy farmer. A sprayable polish is a must on tractors, and is a huge time-saver and money-maker. On cars I use a DA first then rotary but I'm old so this has been my system for a long time. On the enamel paint of farm equipment, rotary is really the way to go, a DA tends to spread oxidized paint and smear it rather than remove it. Great video, great debate either way. Merci Yvan

You need to look into C6 Ceramics , we have coatings designed specifically for AG equipment.

Hi Yvan, love your stuff brother. I used to do bodywork back in 1990. We used the wool pad with the 3m heavy duty compound to smooth out the lacquer clear, I'm sure you remember those days. The 2 part clear was just coming out, it had probably been out, but the shop owner was really cheap. Do you remember how we then removed the swirl marks with "ebony" with a very soft pad(don't remember the exact name?) We didn't have foam pads at the shop. Is ebony still being used? Or is that obsolete now? Thanks for your time and going down memory lane

[@Detailers-Business-Academy]

I haven’t seen liquid ebony in 20 years

[@404notfound.....]

I really wish I knew this before.I bought my 15 mil rupes polisher. 😅 great video yvan!! 👍🏻🇨🇦

[@Detailers-Business-Academy]

Thank you.

[@rooboy99]

Thanks for the video Yvan. Waiting for delivery of my first rotary. Unfortunately its not the DIY Detail model. But looking forward to try finishing with the rotary instead of DA.

[@Detailers-Business-Academy]

Hope you enjoy it, what did you purchase?

[@rooboy99]

​​@@Detailers-Business-Academyits a shine mate. Wirh the boxing day sale and discount i get through the supplier, it was less than $200aud. I noticed the DIY DETAIL machines are now available here as of yesterday.

[@rooboy99]

Its a Shine Mate. Boxing day sale plus discount i get from supplier was too good to ignore. Arrived about an hour ago. I noticed your DIY Detail machines are now in stock here in Australia as of the 1st of Jan. Darn it

[@neilbenzie3618]

I have the flex rotary and max is 2100rpm but I spin the pad (5inch ) out for 30secs and I find that does the trick

[@Detailers-Business-Academy]

Great

[@claudiadavies5110]

Thanks Yvan, excellent info for me😊. I wasn't able to get the jewelling pad in Australia when I bought your polish and waffle pad, but remember you saying I can finish with the yellow waffle as well, how do I do that, thank you again 👌

[@Detailers-Business-Academy]

Same technique

[@shawnyanak1684]

Great advice Video Yvan!

As a mobile detailer who started their own business would you recommend advertising on social media? And any recommendations for the best social media platform?

[@Detailers-Business-Academy]

Google ads and good SEO

[@dennis9455]

If you already have a 15mm Rupes DA, what should the next tool be? 21mm DA or rotary?

[@Detailers-Business-Academy]

Rotary or 25mm da

[@abihernandez823]

Why is it not recommended to use a polymer based rinseless to wash the pads? If polymer is all we have around what do you suggest?

[@Detailers-Business-Academy]

The polymers are not good at breaking down the polishing oils. Use it in your pad washer, then every 5-6 times hand wash with soap.

[@ac7384]

You had said a 15mm Is basically for enhanced work. Will your battery operated 25mm work for this as well with yellow pad. Or should I stick with a 15mm.

[@Detailers-Business-Academy]

25 for sure

[@GabrielGarcia-bf2kn]

This was an awesome video

[@Detailers-Business-Academy]

Thank you.

[@404notfound.....]

I have a question, so the 5mm millimeter pads that you make. Are they gonna work properly on the 15 mm rupes?

[@Detailers-Business-Academy]

Yes

[@detailit]

I will be trying this minus the Long Throw. I have a 15mm machine...

[@Detailers-Business-Academy]

Thank you.

[@JRichDetailz]

Damp pad with a rotary is impossible I always get sling lol 😂especially with the pad washer

[@Detailers-Business-Academy]

Your rotary may be too slow to get the moisture out of the pad. 2200 rpm minimum

[@loic4691]

an interesting subject

[@Detailers-Business-Academy]

Thank you.

[@larsnorway6878]

How can i polish with a Lexus 21 mod with a DA 12 fine polish and pad, no pressure and tok 7 microns with 3 passes? There is no paint to take of? Yous low speed,

[@Detailers-Business-Academy]

@@larsnorway6878 sounds like you don’t have much to work with

[@1stfrompuertorico568]

Let's go

[@Detailers-Business-Academy]

Thank you.

[@Bill-Dalton]

Application for your new wax coming Feb 14th, 2025 - Hand, Random orbital sander, or Rotary? Best.

[@Detailers-Business-Academy]

Hand or small DA

[@shrmtales]

So what you saying is we can stop using sand paper to remove the orange peel and use a foam to achieve it. Thats great news

[@Detailers-Business-Academy]

You should not remove orange peel unless it’s a trailered show car

[@btbd2785]

Why did you wait all of this time for you to explain this to us. You where always saying DA is for cutting and even though you were demonstating with a 15mmDA. You never specified that it has to be 21mm or higher, why? Here we are.buying 8,9,12and 15mm DA and your not saying anything Ivan. Onto the topic of cleaning pads. What are the methods to clean wool ir Microfiber pads? Last you mentiined using Rinskess wash for cleaning foam pads and not to use Polymer based Rinseless wash. Yet you said a Hybrid is fine even though it does have Polymers in it like your DIY rinseless, which includes both 1st and 2nd iterations??

[@Detailers-Business-Academy]

I’ve never used a 15mm da, and I mention long stroke frequently going back many years. Wool and Microfibre pads are the same. What’s important is that the Rinseless wash has surfactants, and not only polymers.

[@btbd2785]

15mn is considered a long stroke polisher. In one if your many videos especialy this one. NICK is holding a 15mm Flex and you where using a rotary. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2XKk5uVnb6HaNEfeature=shared Going back to the link I sen t this video was specific to why the DA is used for cutting and Rotary for Polishing. This is why I mentiond this. 21 wasnt mentioned. meaning you need at least this large of a stroke in order to cut more than a Rotary. You have also used the Milwaukee 15mm in one of your videos. The same one Nick was.using.

[@NeilJohn-the-washer]
