well low and behold, i get home from work yesterday, and there it is... a brand spankin new cyclo :getdown



we had talked about getting me something... i even looked at a g100 from Meguiars at a car show this past weekend, and almost bought it... she talked me out of spending the $$ for it. while at the show, i did pick up some megs products... 80 / 83 / colorx / scratchx / nxt / and some more clay.



so i guess now is the trial under fire sort of thing... which stuff that i bought... with which pads? apparetnly she got the kit off of ebay (which i`ve been told isnt the best deal out there - but too late to inform her) but regardless it`s what i have. (exact same setup on the pinnacle wax website)

Cyclo Orbital Polisher

2 Hook and Loop Pad Holders

2 Cyclo White Finishing Pads

2 Cyclo Green Polishing Pads

4 LC Orange Light Cutting Pads

2 Cyclo Yellow Cutting Pads

4 Spot Buffs White Polishing Pads



i will want to try out some of the other products reccomended... but for the time being, i`m just happy to have what i do. i want to have at some of my own cars, before tackling anyone elsess (esp. my boss`s $$$ cars that he wants me to detail).



i used one years ago, and really liked it... thus why i put the idea in her head (plus i found an ad in an old eastwood catalog thats been on the fridge for a few years now)



i know it won`t be able to do everything... like parts on an xjs ;) but for what i want to do with it... it should be more than adequate







:spot :2thumbs: :spot :getdown - i can`t wait to give it a "whirl"

i have 0 doubts that i`ll dislike it. i used one years ago in a shop for a few years. i tried out the meguiars g100 and in just a few minutes the vibrations were horrendous. i didnt like it much at all. i`m hoping this weekend to give it a shot on at least one of the cars to see how it goes.

No wife, so I had to buy my own Cyclo. I guess you take the good with the bad, eh? ;)
