My Makita 9227C Rotary Buffer

Here are the photos of my Makita 9227C Rotary that I purchsed from Amazon. I am using a Lake Country 5" backing plate and 5.5" buffing pads.

So far I am really impressed by how efficient it is at removing scratches and oxidation. It is much quicker and easier than my PC7424 random orbital and a lot quieter. A couple of passes with the rotary will take out 95% of the scratches whereas it takes many passes with the PC7424.

The Makita 9227C is heavier and takes a while to get used to the direct drive of the rotary. Some issues I am working on is buffer hop, torque steer, and right amount of pressure on the pad.

Some of the compounds and polishes I use are Meguiars #83 DACP and Swirl Free Polish, 3Ms Finesse it II and Perfect it III Rubbing Compound. I do have some Menzerna polishes on the way and I cannot wait to try them out. I have heard nothing but great things about Menzerna products. 
                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

Recieved my Makita 9227CX3 Rotary Buffer

I received my Makita 9227CX3 rotary a few days ago after buying it on Amazon.com. I am very excited because I have always wanted one, but was a bit hesitant because of the paint burn through risks. I own a Porter Cable 7424 and it works well on light scratches, but I need something that can remove deeper scratches. I have tested the Makita 9227CX3 on a few test panels and so far the results are amazing! It is so much quicker than the PC7424. One thing to note that it is a bit harder to control, it is heavier and the pad can hop around if it is not centered properly.

The polishes I have used in conjunction with the Makita 9227CX3 is Meguiars #21 and #80. Great results so far.

I receive my Lake Country pads and new backing plate so I will be testing those out also. In the future I plan on buying some Menzerna polishes and 3M's Ultrafina.
