Thinking about getting a random orbital polisher....seems like the Porter Cable is the most popular. The Cyclo was recommended to me by a professional detailer.

Any input/recommendations would be appreciated.

me too... I have been needing to get one also

Cyclo's a good tool, but remember, it uses 2 4" pads. Today, the selection for those pads is about the same as what's available for the PC, but that hasn't alwasy been the case. It's also a little more awkward to get used to; with the PC most people can buff/polish correctly within 5 in, it's intuitive.

go with the porter cable. keep an eye out at lowes, they sometimes run specials on them.

Hey Pelos,

How much is Lowe's sale price on the polisher (Porter Cable)? I'm trying to decide if it's worth it to wait.

I use and recommend the Porter Cable. It's safe for all users (with common sense).

I've seen it as low as $110 at Lowes. Normal price is $135...

Around here, Lowes has them for $99.
