stuart, DA is not rotary, there is a huge different.
no way to make any damage or get any heat, more safe then rotary,
 rpm given to them is not rpm of rotary, it is oscilation of the pad.
thats why (for example) amatour detailers are going first for DA machine then rotary

and thats why I prefer rotary then any DA machine for upholstery, rotary agitate better.


the white rota brush is very fine, you would need to agitate paper to make any damage, the yellow one is for more stuborn dirt and fabrics that can take it and most will do.

Rechargeable Bosch drill and brushes which I think CSUK sells now although at the time I had to buy from the states.
You can vary the speed by how much pressure you exert on the trigger.
Impossible done straight away, miracles can take a little longer.
