| Quote: Does anyone know a good buffer I can get for my car? I’ve looked at like the ones from Sears and wondering if those were any good. I really don’t want a P.O.S. buffer.

In the mid 1970's the Cyclo machine was discovered by the automotive industry, and was such an instant success in resolving the paint problems of the auto motive industry that it is now the approved machine for all Ford, General Motors, Toyota, Lexus, Hyundai and Nissan dealer outlets in the U.S.A.
The Cyclo polisher with dual orbital action heads, the overlapping motions simulates gentle hand-rubbed quality and eliminates the danger of heat build-up or swirl marks. Exceptional stability and smooth operation, this machine responds to applied pressure, polishes, scrubs and sands painted or unpainted surfaces with maximum safety and efficiency. Lightweight and excellent balance enable the operator to work around complex curves, large areas and lower contours. Changeable bonnets or Velcro discs, pads and brushes. It's ideal for safety removing scratches and polishing large areas. Its 4" heads also enable the user to work around curves and smaller areas such as leading edges.
A US power tool company, Porter-Cable established in 1914, began manufacturing an electrically operated Variable-Speed Random-Orbit Polisher for the wood working industry in the 1990s. It is now one of the most popular tools used by professional and enthusiast automotive detailers for buffing paint surfaces
Often known by the companies initials PC (Porter-Cable) but also called a ROB (random orbital buffer) or DA (duel action) polisher
