Adams Cyclo Machine Polisher - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Dubscamaro · 03-08-2014, 06:42 PM

anyone ever used this? Are the turn outs of the paint correction really amazing? I watched the videos but I want other pro's comments too please. The Cyclo is so expensive but I think it should be worth it..Just need more info and what not. and if I buy a regular cyclo how to make it accessible to Adam's polishing pads!

Thanks Guys!

Absurd price. Buy a Rupes for that money. Or a Flex. And stop calling it the Adam's cyclo. They don't make it, nor do they make the wheel woolies they throw their name on.

I got offered one for $200

CamaroDreams07 · 03-08-2014, 08:06 PM

I'd still buy a real polisher for that. I've literally never heard of a serious detailer using one.

I've been wondering this myself....

Dubscamaro · 03-08-2014, 10:34 PM

CamaroDreams, any suggestions on one in the price range of $200 and one you would prefer? No specific budget, trying to explore..

Are you planning to do just your car and maybe a few here or there or make money with it? If it's mainly for your car, a XP 7424 or Griots 6in is perfectly fine. The flex or Rupes will correct faster but once you have your car pretty well lined out, you only use a couple times a year. Both the flex and Rupes will run you around $350 where as the XP or Griots will run you around $150. If you plan to make money with it, i'd go with the Flex or Rupes all day long. In detailing, time is money. The faster you finish one job, the quicker you can get on to the next one. It all comes down to intended purpose and how much you want to spend.

Another feature of the cyclo is the brush option. Works great on carpeting

Okay well after all these videos and stuff no one states how or if the paint fades sooner or what not...? Any insight?

Any DA has a brush attachment.

I'd say the flex 3401 or griots 6''

I'm still getting either a Flex or a Porter Cable...

I want the Flex but if I chicken out on the price I'll get a PC. Unless someone has a better idea.

Go with the Flex ....... I went with the PC because of price, 2 years later bought the Flex. Just picked it up from Autogeek at 15% off and free shipping.

My $.02
