Adams Cyclo quick review

Hey Guys,
I wanted to post my recent experience with the new Adams Cyclo and 2 polish paint correcting procedure. I have to admit that for the longest time I have been an avid user of Zanio products, and they are really good. That said they don't do much in terms of correcting paint, only masking it. The new Cyclo is easy to use and there is no real danger in messing up your paint. The level of correction was simply amazing. I have posted a few pics below. My buddy's Trailblazer SS is a 2007, with original paint and it was rough when we started. It has never been buffed, and is driven daily through winter. As are my cars. Used was the 2 step correcting system, machine sealant, and Carnuba paste wax.

Well done!  It's so hard to correct lighter-colored vehicles properly, but you got a great shine off the SS :thumb:  Any tips/tricks with the Cyclo?

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

My only tip really is watch the Adams tutorials, they were very helpful! I was super impressed with the SS and how it turned out. I really wish that my SHO had less "paint texture" but it did seem to lessen the appearance after the correction. On my SHO I used the orange micro fibre pad with the orange polish, and finished with the white foam pad and white polish. It seemed to give the best results with the clear coat that FMC applied.

Looks really good. I just did this to my car last weekend. Only difference is I went with the Harbor Freight polisher. I have to do my moms Tuxedo Black Edge soon. That thing really needs it.

I've been an avid Adams fan for a few years now. I absolutely love his stuff. He is quarky on his videos but his methods and products really are top notch.
