Hello

Well I am thinking about asking for one for Christmas. Which one. I have a PC, and really would prefer something with a little more power. It takes too long for me to get the job done. I don't mind investing the time to learn on a rotary, but it would be nice to just grab the cyclo and go without having to "learn" it. Which one should I go for?
 
I'm using all 3 items now and started with the pc, then went to a Cyclo, and finally, the shop owner has 2 DeWalt rotary polishers.

I like the Cyclo for doing "pc type" work. The rotary is more powerful, requires a decent learning curve, and is considerably heavier in weight.

If most of your work is pc type, get a Cyclo. If you do jobs with a lot of correction work or compounding, get the rotary.

As an aside, I'm selling my Cyclo that I got from Autogeek. Now that I'm in a shop environment, I don't use it. The tool has been used 5-6 times and I have all the pads that Autogeek includes in their kit. By the way, the Cyclo pads are less money than pc pads.

Spend the money on the metabo. Light weight, and great balance. Just spend the money right the first time. I would go with a rotary as it seems to bring corrections to a whole new level over the cyclo. Plus it isnt as awkward to maneuver around badges, etc.
 
Rotary, and the megs learning dvd + a hood from the "memory lane" to practice on.

just look at the BMW totoland mach did with the rotary. Unbelievable

Since I purchase my cyclo my PC has been reduced to putting on glazes. The cyclo is a much better tool than the PC.:)
 
What about those hard to rach space? Which is more conviniant the Cyclo or the PC?
 
The PC is good for tight spaces, but I prefer the cyclo overall.
