ive only just started using a rotary. as always used obitals for most of my work.

And i must say if you take you time it gets great results! - but i wouldnt EVER use a rotary if you are a novice!

ive even started to wet sand now with rotary and it almost gets everything out.

the paint on 350z's is really thin, bit thin to be wet sanding. done plenty when i did the painting though, wet sanding is a piece of piss once you get the hang of it.

think its just the initial OH SHIT WHAT HAVE I DONE feeling when you sand right down.

and plus you could never get the standard back so quickly using a orbital than you can with a rotary.

I was about to post saying it doesn't even look like the scratch has dissapeared in the slightest, went back for a second look after your post and realised

BMW is impressive
