Refers to the Porter-Cable random orbit sander that is modified for car polishing. Probably the single biggest product used by enthusiast detailers.

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

LSP = Last Step Product

Cyclo is a type of polisher looks like this .... http://www.perfectpolish.com/Cyclo%20Polisher.htm

PC is another type.... http://autopia-carcare.com/pc-7424.html

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.

Wow a lot of us from Kansas here... I`m in the middle, Manhattan -- you know -- home of the Wildcats. Have to all get together a cruise in sometime.

Hey BlackSunshine: are you near the Community College? I saw a detail shop right near the college when I was out there doing a product demo for the Police & Sheriff. The community college has our product in their crime lab.

Just wondered.
