Cyclo Polisher is better than sliced bread.

4 inch foam pads..yellow (cutting) green (polishing) white (finishing). You can also get a wool pad which are great for aluminum polishing. We sell only the foam ones, but I'll be getting wool pads as I've had enough interest from RV owners with Alum. Trailers. They also work great on diamond plated surfaces.

Make sure your order includes 2 pads for the Cyclo. You can usually get 2 pads for about $5.75. The yellow pad price is a little more because they are thicker and cost more. The backing velcro pads are about $10.00 per set.



These pads are velcro backed so they come off and on pretty easily.



Hope that helps,

I've mentioned this on other threads before, so I hope I dont dound repetitious, but Rightlook.com carries this machine also for the same amount of money and you get a detailed 30 page manual on how to properly use the CP to get the best results. There is a lot of helpful hints in it on how to remove swirls and scratches easily, and just a lot of good info. I previously owned a Versa-tool, which is the plastic version of the CP until I dropped it and it broke. Turns out that is made in China and you can't get replacement parts for it... hence me buying a CP. What a world of difference. Its a little heavier but that just makes it so much better on the top panels of the vehicles. It is a little harder to use on the sides of the vehicles, but if you every use a rotary to remove swirls, you wont even notice the CPs weight. You can tell that the extra money you pay goes into the craftsmenship of the machine as it is the most balanced polisher ive ever used. You will be happy with the results if you buy one!
 
I'm a rookie here so be gentle with me.;)



I joined because I saw someone wanted to see just what a CYCLO 5 looks like and they forgot how to search the web.:nixweiss

Now everybody knows what this is

Yes the cyclo's are a little more expensive, I feel they are limited to the work they preform (i don't think they will do well in tight spaces and on heavy contoured body).



but then again I have not used mine YET.





here is a link that shows how to use the cyclo with a polishing cloth and the buffing cloth

http://www.perfectpolish.com/Using the Cyclo Polisher.htm

cotton sweatshirt material. The wipe-off rag can be an old terry cloth towel

I strongly suggest not using a sweatshirt or old terry cloth towel on a painted surface PLEASE

This machine was made for polishing aircraft aluminum and Hot Rod'ers years ago found it worked well in the auto industry.





good luck

Heh heh, you acutally managed to make a Cyclo sound a little sick? If you want to get it looked at, talk with Steve at CycloToolMakers. I'm gonna finally send my (oldest) one back for a rebuild, and their prices sounded pretty good (good enough that I can't remember how much).



Nice to see the Cyclo getting so much attention these days...it's a great machine, despite it's limitations.
 
I have been praising the Cyclo for years now. It seemed that the more I talked about it someone would use the argument that EVERYBODY uses the PC here. When I was looking into a DA, I turned here for advice and I have to say that I am so glad I did not listen to anyone. :)That is almost everyone I chatted with on this board.

Why argue about the price of a cyclo when it is a superior tool. Ask ANY experienced detailer in California about the Cyclo. Personally, I think it is a necessity.
 
Ryan It's ok that's why there's 64 crayons in the box everybody gets to play.

some of us are on fixed incomes and thats a heck of a lot of money.



I like to read other opinions but I don't like it shoved down my throat Ya know it's "my way or now way at all" mentality. but even that's ok because I don't work for them. :D
 
I am staing from experience. Yes Ive used the cyclo and I have used the PC and the rotary. Anyway, my pooint that I was trying to drive home was this... People are bent on one thing and while you think that is OK, I don not.

Simply, when I find the tool that works, I am not ashamed to admit it. Beercan31, Sorry that you misunderstood the point of my post.
