Here's one on eBay for $4700. Local (Lexington KY) pickup only. $4700 is still a chunk of change but what a unit!

Are you using this beast in a shop or (gulp) mobile?

Re: Business owners what do you pay for insurance per year? I called an insurance agent for liability insurance and he knew what detailing was and how to communicate that to the underwriters. In many cases, that's half the battle. However he never called me back. If he did, not only would he...

Explosive, too, I bet!

For me the biggest negative is it requires custom pads. You cannot put any 5"-6" pad from Meguiar's, Lake Country and other pad manufacturers and I'm sure they won't make their premier pads for this polisher. As far as the technology goes, it was proven in the 1950's ala "The Cyclo", as it...

I've been using it for the past 2 years with very good results. Some of the issues I have with the Wagner 905/McCulloch MC-1275 (same machine, different name) are the steam contains a lot of moisture (almost "wet steam"), and the pressure and temperature isn't as high as other steamers. I used...

I always use distilled water in my Wagner 905 steamer. Using tap water may introduce minerals and other "stuff" at high temperatures that could leave stains or odors you can't remove. Tap water can also cause calcium deposits to build up in the boiler that may diminish the life of the boiler...

Thanks for the warning. :cruisin: Seriously, though what can you expect for $200? I'd like to get a VX5000 or a Pro6 Duo but it's not in my budget just yet.

I have a Wagner 905 steamer which works OK for most of my detailing gigs. I'd like to get something along the lines of a VX5000 or Pro6 Duo. Recently I've seen used VX5000's on eBay going for about $500 or so. A new VX5000 goes for $800, a Pro6 Duo is $900. I don't detail full time -- yet --...

As it should be! That'd make a GREAT detailing rig! Happy trails, Jim 3 Rivers Detailing

Call Sheila Lynch, Customer Service Manager at Cyclo (303-485-1990 x300). I'm confident they'll take good care of you and your Cyclo.

I for one, am glad this happened when the museum was closed. Could you imagine the furor if people were caught in that sinkhole during normal business hours?

Hey Mike! How do you polish the scalloped portions of the rear fenders below the fins?

Good choice. Low vibration was a key factor in my decision to choose Cyclo, along with being Made in the USA. The funny thing is when the Cyclo is running, it reminds me of my Mom's old Sunbeam mixer. :hungry:

Thanks, Bob!

While visiting a friend in Denver Colorado, I had the opportunity to visit the Cyclo factory a few miles north in Longmont. The factory is situated in a typical, innocuous commercial building. I didn't know what to expect, so I simply walked in and introduced myself as a detailer who owns a...

Re: Craigslist Ads I used craigslist for the first time last summer and garnered some success with my ad. One customer chose me over the "others" because I had photos of my work, a clear description of my services and came across as a credible business. Another customer hired me based on my...

I tried a headlight lens restoration on a SAAB but the lenses were degraded to the point they needed to be replaced. I used 500/800/1500/3000 grit sandpapers and polished with Symtech Bright Solutions system but to no avail. They were marginally improved but I could not make them clear again. I...

I've been trying to find out how much their products cost and where can I get them. It seems like I need to know the secret handshake or know their favorite color to get that information. Feed back please
