Cyclo Orbital Polisher - 07-27-2004, 08:39 PM

Does anyone use this tool besides Anthony Orosco? I read alot about PC and rotaries but nothing about this piece of equipment. After the fall season I'm going to decide if I want to go powertool or am I satisfied with the look I get from just using my hands. Right now I'm just in the research stage so I'm looking into all possibilties.

From what I have read it is between a PC and a Rotary in that is has more oomph to get out scratches and what not than a pc - but safer than a rotary with a smaller learning curve -


You have activated my special ability....

The cyclo takes a little bit getting used to but when you do it is a real nice tool to have in your arsenal.
It really is nice because it doesnt bog down like the PC. makes quick work of marring with something like SSR2.5.

I was able to see a Cyclo in person today. If I want to use foam pads, do I need to buy special velcro cups for it or does the tool by itself already accept pads? Thanks


Treat it like it's the only one in the world.

You have to get the velcro cups. Check out the package from http://www.winnerscircledetailingproducts.com/ it has everything you need to get started and it is about the best price I have found on it.

I bought my Cyclo at Detail King http://www.detailking.com/ and my package was $289.00 which also included 2 terry bonnets, 2 shampoo brushes and a wrench to remove polishing pads & to install the brushes. It is an awesome machine.

My cyclo package was $265 and came with 2 polishing, 2 finishing, 2 cutting pads and the velcro pad holder. I only use my PC for cleaning carpets (with the cyclo brush) or if there is a spot on a car where the cyclo has a hard time reaching.

That is an excellent price on the package you got. The Cyclo is hard to beat IMO!

Not to hijack a thread, but has anyone tried the products at detail king? I was going to try their products until I got here and read the great write ups on poorboy's products( real happy I went with poorboy's :jump )
