How to use the Cyclo Polisher - Detailing Class at Autogeek


At each class I have one to two cars for each type of tool. For the beautiful but swirled out 1956 Chevy Bel Air appraised at $140,000.00 was used to teach the class how to use the Cyclo Orbital Polisher.

Process
  1. Waterless wash with DP Waterless Auto Wash & Gloss
  2. Mechanically decontaminate using Pinnacle Ultra Fine Poly Clay
  3. Remove swirls using Cyclo Polisher, Cyclo Orange & Yellow Foam Cutting Pads and Pinnacle Advanced Compound
  4. Polish to a high gloss using Cyclo Polisher, Cyclo Green Foam Pads and Pinnacle Advanced Finishing Polish
  5. Machine wax using Cyclo Orbital Polisher with Cyclo soft white foam waxing pads and Pinnacle Black Label Synthetic Paint Sealant.

First a few pictures showing the swirls in the paint....

How to remove bonded contaminants using detailing clay
There's the right way and a lot of wrong ways to use detailing clay. We went over the right way and then the class clayed the paint, glass, chrome and stainless steel surfaces using detailing clay.

Besides learning how to use the Cyclo polishers we also used the car to go over,
  • How to use the Dupray Hill Infection Steam Cleaner to safely clean a leather interior and then how to condition and protect the clean leather using Pinnacle Leather Conditioner.
  • How to correctly and safely wash a vinyl top and then protect the vinyl top using products from 303 industries.
  • How to machine polish chrome and stainless steel.
  • How to use a one-step tire dressing to clean and dress whitewall tires.


Excellent work guys!
