Later, mds | That would be fun. I have some folks in the Mustang Club that would attend. It would be nice to have a host retailer or garage be the sponsored site.
Talk to ya later

Join Date: Sep 2003 Location: Overland Park Kansas Posts: 922 | RX8: I sent you a pm, but here is what those terms are:
The Cyclo is a polishing tool that's been around since the 1950's ... and some of them are still going since then. It was originally designed to polish aircraft and other large surfaces. It's been adapted for auto use with velcro cups that hold twin 4" pads that operate in a random orbit pattern. It's considered a step up from the Porter-Cable unit and has advantages/disadvantages. It's big and operates on a single RPM (3,000) and it's expensive $250 versus the Porter-Cable that can be purchased for $100 or so.
The Cyclo can really tackle swirls with the right combo pad and product. One of the problems it has is size: it simply won't get in tight areas of certain cars (like Porsche fender curves).
LSP=Last Step Product. Commonly referred to what the final coat of product is. Sealant or Carnuba.
