DA auto polishers ???

got a question about orbital polishers. There are a lot of them out there and they look like a great way to get that car show shine. autogeek as a lot of videos about them

Has any one used the Cyclo Orbital Polisher? Im about to purchase a cyclo but was curios if anyone on this forum has used it.

let me know
thanks

I have a Porter Cable random orbital from Griot's Garage. It worked great on my last black Ford, no swirling at all!

Just purchased last week the Ultimate PC Kit from Show Car.
Can't wait for it to come it.

I'm in the market myself. The Griot's Garage offering is a new updated model with potentially more torque that the Porter Cable unit according to some of the posts and info available on the autogeek.com site.

Make sure its a RANDOM orbital. The shine comes out a lot easier and you wont swirl or burn your paint.

I have a Dewalt

If I had seen the Show Car Ultimate kit I would have bought that, I paid that for my polisher alone at Finish Masters.

I use the Porter Cable 7424, and have for years.

Porter Cable 7424XP or the Flex. Either one works well, the flex works a little better but is a good bit stronger and is slightly harder to use.

Use 5.5" pads; 4" pads are handy for bumper covers and tight areas. You'll eventually want them too.

The Cyclo is ok, but doesn't work quite as fast as a single pad type and they're a little heavier.

The Flex can yield rotary-like correction times and results because it has the forced rotation.

I started with the PC and still use it for tight areas and gentle jobs. The Flex sees the most action for larger corrections and I have a rotary for when I really have to get the job done. Combine the Flex with products like Meg's new Microfiber DA system, there's virtually no need for a rotary now.

Well after a lot of research I ordered the Cyclo, with variable speed control. I appreciate all your feedback.

i'll let you now how it turns out. I got some pretty good scuff from a desert run through the Mojave. but first im going to test my skills on my sons car.. : )
