First time using the Cyclo


mbzamg32

Question

Just recently purchased a Cyclo with one of the forum members (Big thanks to Mariner) and man is this machine AMAZING!!!

 

-Clean wheels and tires with wheel cleaner and tire and rubber cleaner for tires.

-Engine bay wash with APC

-Started off with a wash. Adams car shampoo and APC about 4-5 squirts in 2gal of water for a strip wash.

-Blow dry

-Decon'd with an Clay alternative using the Cyclo.

-Rinse

-Apply VRT on all rubber trim

NOW THE BIG EVENT!!!

-2 step correction using Microfiber pad with PCP then White foam with PFP.

-tried to get by just using the orange foam but my buddy was like now you can see the scratches easily coz its shiny!!! Using the MF pad eliminated all the swirls marks and light scratches. The difference was night and day. Even a little pressure on the Cyclo made a difference.

-Apply LPS let it cure for 20mins. Wipe off

-Apply Buttery wax let it sat for 20mins.bthen wipe off.

 

WOW!!!! I was impressed didn't think I would be able to eliminate swirl marks!!! And this was a first time to use a machine polisher.

Great turn around for your first time. This goes to show the cyclo can correct paint very well it might take a few extra passes than a rupes 21 or 15 but I have heard they are silky smooth and built like tanks. Great turn on the engine bay as well. Time to charge your buddy to do his car so they buy the cyclo instead of you

Thanks fellas!!! Still got to work on my technique. Polishing alone took me 5hrs. To do... but in the end it was all worth it! I need to get myself a rolling utility cart I keep walking back to my garage table to put down the Cyclo didn't want to put it on the floor don't want it to get scratched lol!!!
