Just bought a used cyclo for one hundred bucks and used it to scrub a boats carpet before I hosed it out and extracted it. I had removed the entire interior so it was a big open space. I love this thing. It works great for scrubbing matts too. I have only used it to polish the hood of my truck to try it out but it seems like it will have many uses. Does anyone have any experience using them on a boat for polishing and waxing. I am tempted to even try paste wax with it on the center section of gel coat on my boat. It should make light work of it.
