Well, if you're into DA polishing at all but have struggled to remove defects from really hard paint, this system sort of bridges the gap between the DA and rotary buffers, but retains the safety level inherent in the DA. Rather than using a series of foam buffing pads, we've come up with a pair of pads that utilize a foam backing with a microfiber pile surface, and a pair of liquids to work in conjunction with them. It's very straightforward - a cutting compound used with a cutting pad, a finishing wax used with a finishing pad. That's it. It's fine tuned to work at 4800 opm for cutting and 3800 opm for finishing, and the system loves hard paint! It works great on our buffer (Meguiar's G110v2) as well as the Porter Cable and Griot's tool. It can be used on the Flex 3401 but that's a forced rotation tool, not a DA, so it's overly aggressive and tends to haze the paint pretty badly. It is definitely NOT a rotary system though!! The pads are machine washable and you can expect a very long life out of them - like 100 uses or so!
Key to using the system is to use a very small amount of product - like 3 or 4 drops of product for each section one the cutting pad is primed. But you also have to clean the pads with a pad brush after every section. It's critical, but not at all the time consumer you might think. If you have access to compressed air, all the better. Wipe off of both liquids is insanely easy (the finishing wax will probably the single easiest wipe off product you've ever used) and there is no dust, no sling. Pricing is very competitive too, especially when you consider the life expectancy of the pads and small amount of product you use.
