I've just got a Cyclo (actually a European polisher that appears to be a Cyclo just in an ABS case).
I've never used this sort of machine before and frankly I'm a little worried about doing damage, in spite of everything I read about it being impossible to damage paint with an orbital etc.
Does anyone have any links or tips that relate specifically to the Cyclo?
I can see plenty of guide for the porter-cable but obviously that has a single pad surface.
Right now all I have is the pair of crummy white pads that come with it, I intend getting some Cyclo or Lake Country pads but again I'm a little unclear what would be the best grades to get - when they arrive I'll be using this on a new Mazda MX-5 (Miata?) and a new Boxster - assuming the paint is pristine as it should be, would I be better off working by hand, would a polisher be a bad idea?
