hello, After 3 harbor freight rotary's, I have a friend that works for Makita she can get me a deal on a new rotary, or a really great deal on a Makita double action buffer I've never used a D.A. just rotary's, and my car is freshly painted I have alot of dust so wet sanding and buffing is in order. Any advice on what buffer to get, thanks

if youve only used rotaries and achieved great results, dont bother with a DA. they can be used to achieve the same results of a rotary but take a LOT longer.

Stick with what you know.....those DA type units to me are more for finessing and detailing. A rotary gets the job done in short order in comparison.
