cyclo buffer/polisher?

[Barry]

Gentlemen:

Looking to pick up an old "cyclo" buffer/polisher, just wondering if they really work?
Anybody have any experiance with them? Are they able to buff/polish out swirl marks or are they just an expensive polisher that smears wax around? Appreciate any info you'd like to share.
Thanks

Barry

Over on a Detailing website I hang out on Autopia (http://autopia.org) there are quite a few detailers who swear by them. I've seen the results on the web and in person am amazed at the amount of correction they can do and the depth and shine of the appearence with what amounts to zero risk the paint/panel.

I think the Makita BO6040 is a much better investment. It's midway between a high speed and a random orbital, has the random orbital mode for when you want it, and cuts paint better than a random orbital ever could.

Look at the guides where I use it and you'll see why that's the machine I use.

Take Care,

Henry,

From the front page here at autobodystore.com under classroom, then basics, then compounding factory paint and swirl removal. But be sure when you wet the wool pad to just spritz it with a little spray from a bottle don't hose it off unless the pad is far off the machine and always hook up your power through a ground fault interrupted outlet or with a GFI adapter.

Take Care,
Robert
