Z71_Denali Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 i'd like to see what the Adam's guys say about this... could be a good product for those 4" spot pads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrisPKreme Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I have used a similiar two head device on my airplane. After using the PC, I found the PC to have much better control. I did find that some holograming occurred after I used it on the plane and went back to hand waxing the beast. It could have been bad technique but I will stick with the PC.

Team Adam's Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I've never had a chance to play with the cyclo before, and I'm sure they're nice, but as was mentioned the possibility of generating holograms w/ 4" pads is pretty high, even on the PC... do it with 2 pads at once and you've got double the issues. In the hands of someone with some skill its a very nice tool, just a bit large and awkward looking to me. Only way to know for sure is to buy it and try.

Toms94 Posted May 3, 2010 Author Share Posted May 3, 2010 Size and bulk, is what concerned me....hadn't thought about holograms. The author of the article, Hib Halverson, was bragging them up pretty big in a thread over at CAC. If you know about Hib, you know he's never wrong....

whiterp199 Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I have never used the cyclo. I have wondered about them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawson4450 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 actually a friend of mine has one and he used it on my truck this was a few years ago before i knew of a pc and it worked pretty well but you have to know how to use it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ss-truck Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 I have a Cyclo and find it a bit awkward and heavy, although a good piece of equipment though. I do prefer the PC as I feel I have more control and can get into tighter areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toms94 Posted May 7, 2010 Author Share Posted May 7, 2010 Thanks for the input guys, I figured people here would know about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_zok Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 For god sakes no....Do not get one of these. I dont have one but i have used one before. 2 main issues 1)The pads have a center cut out were a pin fits through. Enough pressure and the pin is hitting the paint 2) Buffing around corners: 1 pad will be touching the surface while the other one is flinging polish all over your shop.
