My Impression of the Cyclo

DennisH · 03-31-06, 05:43

I normally don’t like to make comments on new item till I have a chance to use it a few times but the Cyclo is really impressive. I started on one fender using the PC took a couple of times with IP to clean up the finish, I did the other fender with the Cyclo and IP once and it look better then the fender done with the PC. Looking at the Cyclo it looked heavy and clumsy but it is so well balance that it is a breeze to use even on vertical panels. It also has about half the vibration of the PC and seems to glide over the finish without any effort. Also seems to use a lot less down force to get the same results. It looks like I have cut my polishing time in half at least maybe more. The PC it now on the top shelf and the Cyclo has taken it spot – the only time I will need the PC is a couple of tight spots to small for the Cyclo do.

Thanks Accumulator and the others for all the good advice....

The Cyclo is one of those you get what you pay for things. I love mine!

Welcome to the club, I love mine too

The only thing I regret is waiting so long to get one

I'm always glad to hear that people like their Cyclos. And I'm always a little *relieved* too; I push them kinda hard and I'd hate for somebody to spend that much $ and not like the thing.

So I am going to have to buy one of these now huh.

Where is the best place to get one.

I paid $100 + tax for my PC 3 years ago. What did the Cyclo cost you?

DocHoliday · 03-31-06, 10:36

I would love to get one but cant justify the cost after all the money I have in pads for the PC. I think maybe next summer.

In Sweden a cyclo can cost you around ~$750. So $239 is NOT much money it´s a bargin!

WOW! That is high!

Cylo pads are dirt cheap though.

Porta- Yikes, that *is* expensive. But at least they do make the Cyclo in Euro-voltage models.

If I were buying today my first choice would be Danase (fellow Autopian and all-around good guy). Besides there, I'd go with either WCD (who's been a good member here at Autopia) or TOL (because Irene's always good to do business with).

They sell new for over $200. I wouldn't hesitate to buy a used one. If necessary (big "if" IMO) they can be serviced for a reasonable price.
