I guess you missed the last post because I ordered one. I am not interested in the others.

New here and interested to find this thread on Cyclo Polishers.
This machine has long been the polisher of choice for the aircraft industry as well as vintage trailer afficionados because of its quality and durability.
Aircraft aluminum is much different to polish than an automobile and this
machine is capable of some amazing results. Take a look at what it can do to an Airstream trailer.

Well I ordered one, should be here next week

What are your pad suggestions (what to use for specific situations)? I ordered an assortment plus the ones that came with the kit.

Thanks!

You ordered one what? Cyclo or other?

how do you like using the cyclo now? i kind of use mine as a reward. it is so smooth compared to rotaries and da s. only putting on wax and sealants with it but it impresses the hell out of my public when they see it.

I ordered the cyclo.

I like it does a good job. I havent used it as much as I would like because I have some other projects going on, I have been lucky to get a wash a week in on the vehicles.

I suggest a Flex, besides the fact that the stock setup doesn't accommodate smaller pads it's perfect IMO. Relatively smooth operation, forced rotation and powerful motor so the machine doesn't bog down, smart design with speed dial at your thumb, variable speed trigger w/ lock, 3M adapter for small pads. You cant go wrong with a Flex 3401, I love mine!

I just purchased the same Flex. I have never used a polisher before. I not sure if I should have purchased the edge pads or not. I don't want to cause more swirl marks then I 'm taking out, if you know what I mean. I purchased the Optimum Hyper polish. and Hyper compound. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
