Cyclo's "protoype" Paint Correction System

[foris2]

Wow, I can hardly wait to see the results of the tests. Keep us up to date as I know you will!

Gee, you guys sure are critical of the Cyclo pads! Heh heh, I find the green ones work pretty well for all sorts of applications, but then maybe I'm just used to them....Not that I won't welcome new and better ones

The yellow cutting pads aren't too great, but the green ones seem quite versatile to me, and while the white finishing pads aren't the softest I've ever used, they don't seem to cause any problems. I keep putting off buying more/new/LC/etc. pads for it because I'm actually getting by just fine with the Cyclo pads

I sure am hoping the new ones and the Sonus ones are going to be out of this world!

Well I hav eno pictures yet of the Lamborghini but I do have a bit of a peek at what the new system can do.

Here is a Porsche I washed for a doctor today and he asked if I could do anything with a hideous scratch on his rear fender? I told him it should be no problem.

I cautiously used the new Cyclo correction pads followed by the Cyclo wool pads, orange pads and white using the Menzerna trio.

Here ar the results.......the last AFTER picture is finished out with just Menzerna FP, no wax, sealants or glazes.

I have circled where the heavy scratch is. A very trciky area even for a rotary. There are actually two scratches but only one showed up.


This next pictures shows the general marring

This next photo is midway in the repair job. I think this is after the orange pads and IP

Here is the fender after FP. Scratch and marring are history.

that repair looks great Anthony , this system looks very promising for actual defect removal.

Nice pics of the Porsche fender!

"My purpose for seeking to design something along this line was for those people who fear the rotary and the learning curve it requires to master it."

I did not find basic rotary work to be that hard although it is a required skill. I'm very interested to see how the new system is. Seems there could be situations where a rotary might be best and where this new system might be best.

Does this mean you don't think the LC pads are?

Accum, I haven't had any problems with the Cyclo pads thus far, but they just *feel* cheap, and really, enjoying what you are using is a big part of it for me. It's like if I had a thin rough-feeling microfiber. Even if I couldn't show that it scratched my paint, I still wouldn't be thrilled about using it because to me it would feel cheap.

Aurora,

No, I guess that didn't come across accurately I am very happy with the LC pads, so I guess what I mean to say is tha I hope these new Cyclo and Sonus 4" pads are just as good if not even better

[Accumulator]

Aurora- Yeah, I see what you mean and I'm the same way, guess I'm just used to the Cyclo pads. Heh heh, I used them for so many years before using any other foam machine pads that I guess I see 'em in a different light.

Anthony- Nice work, per usual. Heh heh, never know how much I should credit the products when *you* are doing the work but it seems we might have a winner here.

Which white pad did you use after the orange- Cyclo/Lake/??

[Anthony Orosco]

Accumulator- Cyclo white pads..... and thanks

[Accumulator]

OK, didn't know if you could go straight from the orange to the white (skipping the green). I never get around to doing any polishing with the white ones for some reason, always use the green...just habit I guess.

Excellent job on the fender, Anthony! What kind of time frame was involved compared to a rotary?
