d) Turn on the tool and move it back and forth and side to side in a latticed pattern across an area approximately 2’ x 2’ in size. Use the first 20-30
seconds to further evenly spread the liquid detailing product. Then slow down.
e) Grip both handles of the polisher, and using only light or moderate pressure - letting the action and the weight of the tool do the work - move the
polishing heads across the area at a very slow comfortable speed. Deoxidize or polish the entire car in this manner. When you have finished, you can
remove any powdery or lubricant residue left by your liquid products using a microfiber towel. You may also use white foam pads or bonnets, or
microfiber or terry pad covers to removing any remaining residue.
f) If the residue does not wipe off easily, the surface is still not clean, repeat steps 2-5 as necessary.
g) As the pads become fully impregnated with polish or oxidized paint, they should be removed and washed. Never keep polish in pads overnight.
Additional pad care information is included below.
Pad Care Instructions. IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Clean pads are important to perfect polishing. Cleaning your pads well and before they dry will extend
their life. Use Genuine Cyclo CTI Pad Care – Pad Cleaner (84-404, 84-406) or a mild detergent and warm water. DO NOT WASH PADS IN GASOLINE OR
SOLVENTS. For maximum life, be sure to clean pads, bonnets, and pad covers after each use. To clean, spray CTI Pad Cleaner on the pad face, work in, and
let soak in a container of water-diluted Pad Cleaner. After soaking, rinse out, and if clean, place the items back on the Cyclo Polisher and run for a few seconds.
Allow the action of the machine to shake excess water from the pad. You may also just squeeze dry (do not twist or wring). Then allow to air dry. The pads and
bonnets should be cleaned as soon as possible after use, and do not allow compounds to dry in pads. The wool fiber pads should also be washed with CTI Pad
Cleaner and then run through with a brush. Pads and other accessories can also be machine washed in warm water and tumble dried in a clothes dryer.
General Scrubbing Instructions
a) Begin by vacuuming the loose debris and materials from the area to be scrubbed.
b) Pre-treat the area with Cyclo CTI Pad Care – Pad Cleaner or an alternative carpet cleaning agent or enzyme

polishing brushes across the area at a comfortable speed.
g) When you have finished, you can wipe down the treated areas with an absorbent towel. If you have an extractor or wet vacuum, lightly wet the area
and extract the water.
h) As the brushes become impregnated with loose fibers, they should be removed, combed out and cleaned.
General Pad Cover Instructions
a) Disconnect from power source. Lay the polisher with heads facing up on your lap, a bench or flat surface. You can use the insert removed from

Foam Pads or a wool pad.
c) Stretch the pad cover’s elastic ring over the foam. Make sure that you have completely covered the foam pad. The elastic band should be place so as
not come in contact with each other when running. The Pad Cover will completely cover the foam (or wool) pad.
d) Rotate each head to ensure that the Pad Covers do not contact each other. If the Pad Covers contact each other continue to smooth out the covers
over the pads to remove any wrinkles in the material and to ensure that elastic bands are not making contact.
e) Connect the tool to the power supply.
