Is anyone looking to sell a cyclo polisher or can anyone steer me in the right direction as to where to get one? They range from about $315 (Autogeek)up to $365(Nuvite). I don't know the differences in the lower priced models. Rick Adler Waiex 0146

The cyclo polisher works well, but can be very frustrating to use, holding the cloth on the buffer pads is a pain, the polisher is heavy, it is expensive. Harbor Freight just came out with a 6" , single pad cyclo polisher that is light, does a beautiful job, easy to keep the cloth on and is only $49.99 on sale! I have a used Cyclo polisher for sale!

Ray,

Thanks for the heads up on the HF polisher. Like you, have the Cyclo. It does a good job and not too difficult to use on tops of wings and tail but is a real P.I.A. on vertical surfaces. (I have underside painted so do not have to use overhead.) Not ready to sell the Cyclo but will get one of the HF units.

Anyone have the part number for the HF cyclo polisher?
I love my Cyclo polisher but I'd love to have a lighter polisher for doing the undersides of my Waiex.

Thanks,

If I'm not mistaken, the term Cyclo polisher implies two heads. I have one and thats what I was told when I was researching it.

Ray please PM me with price for the cyclo. How does the cyclo work to take out swirl marks? The harbor freight one looks like it rotates. Rick Adkler Waiex 0146
