Can't wait to try it out, Topoftheline got it to me in time to use it for my spring cleanup of the Subaru this weekend. Showed up a little swirled though, may have to break out the metal polish before I get to use it :o I'm a little excited, and I knew you guys would appreciate my purchase, even if no one in my neighborhood understands!

erm.. This site has been a bad influence on me. :chuckle: In the past year or so, I've collected a goofy stupid number of supplies. Now I've got to clear a space on the shelf between the PC and the Hitachi...

How many Cyclos am I going to have to buy? :think:

:woot2:

I'm way excited to use my Cyclo this weekend, fortunately my Subaru doesn't need to much work. Probably just a clay and I'm thinking Menzerna FPII on cyclos green pads. Any tips from you experienced cyclo users out there? Oddities that I should watch for or be aware of?
 
If the finish is in pretty good shape the blue pads will probably leave a slightly nicer finish since they have a smaller PPI. Maybe some cyclo users can chime in but to me since the pad is smaller the pore size becomes larger in relationship to the pad. A 60PPI pad would seem less aggressive in a 6.5 inch pad than a 4 inch pad. Maybe I'm wrong and overthing things.

I've always had pretty good luck with the green pad (I usually use 4 inchers on my PC) on my paint, but the cyclo does seem a bit more aggressive. I'll try both out and see which cleans it up better, thanks for the heads up.

With my luck, $20 bucks for the lot... :chuckle: Not that'd I'd ever sell it, I may give away a few tins though.
 
You need to get the EDGE system for the Cyclo. So smooth. Scottwax will vouch for them as well. You can't even tell that the machine is on. They are that balanced.

I've thought about it, but I already have so many 4" pads that it would just be a colossal waste to move to a different system. I'll look at it closely though when these pads start to wear out.

Heh... I've never been accused of being all that stable :grinno:

One of these days I'll have to put together a few pics of all my stuff... Its a little on the embarrassing side though, that pic is mostly just paste waxes :) The collection has expanded since then...
 
Hehe. I grabbed two old rusty #16 tins that were going to be thrown out just because they are such a hot topic on here.
