The Cyclo Polisher and Pads for Paint

This page features the Cyclo polisher with accessories for paint care. If you are interested in the Cyclo polisher with accessories for polishing bare aluminum, please go to our Cyclo Polisher for Aluminum page.

The Cyclo polisher has dual orbital heads that move in a random overlapping circular motion. This movement is almost identical to hand polishing. It excels at deoxidizing, buffing and glazing paint and metals to a mirror finish.

This American-made product has been used in the automotive and airline industry for over 60 years. It has earned a reputation for durability and dependability. The Cyclo was designed and built at a time when quality mattered. Back then a tool had to be dependable, not disposable.

The Cyclo is virtually unchanged in 60 years of production. It features a lightweight aluminum housing, machined fittings, precisely crafted gears and hand assembly. In addition the tool is serviceable. Every part on the Cyclo can be replaced ensuring that it will continue to perform for decades after purchase.

Pads and Brushes: Choose from a wide variety of pads from glazing-grade for final buffing to very aggressive cleaning and compounding for heavily oxidized surfaces. The foam pads can be used on painted surfaces, gel coat, wood, Plexiglas and other surfaces.

A variety of brushes are available from very soft for shampooing delicate upholstery to very stiff scrub brushes. The brush we stock is a soft brush designed for shampooing durable carpets.

Cyclo has recently changed the head style that they furnish as standard. The old heads, in use for more than 50 years, had a plastic backplate attached to a hard rubber pad. Using Velcro attached pads required an additional boot over the hard rubber feet, called Pad Holders (P/N 79-101) which had the hooks that grab the Velcro-backed pads.

Cyclo is discontinuing the use of this style head and is using a head made from a softer rubber that has the Velcro permanently attached to rubber backing. The new model is the Cyclo Model 5, Mark II (Cyclo P/N 80-110-C-PG).

Opposite is a picture of this polisher from the Cyclo website. This is the polisher we sell. It comes equipped with the new-style heads, the blue VES vibration dampening inserts (with a hex key for installing) and a flat wrench for changing heads should that ever be necessary.

The Black Foam Pads and Pad Covers that we sell fit this style Cyclo.
