Guide to Genuine Cyclo Accessories
The following information will assist you in selecting the appropriate accessory for use with the Cyclo Polisher. For additional tips and application guides, please
refer to the application chart included on the back cover of this manual.
Pad Selection Guide – Genuine Cyclo Pads
Detailing pads – are composed of either high tech foams or wool and synthetic fiber blends. These pads can be used for restoration and defect removal,
polishing, applying waxes and sealants as well as final buffing. Each pad type serves a specific function in the detailing process. You will want to match the
appropriate pad with the type of detailing liquid compound, polish, wax or sealant. Foam pads – are made from specially designed synthetic polymer foams
with small, uniformly shaped cells that may be either open or closed. The smaller cells in open-cell foams are less aggressive in their polishing
characteristics. As the cell size increases so does the pads ability to carry detailing liquids and therefore the its level of aggressiveness. Closed cell and
stiffer foams work well in polishing harder paints or for more assertive compounding. Open cell foams can wick the lighter liquid elements from polishing
liquids, altering their characteristics. Wool pads – are made from a variety of natural wools and synthetic fibers. The yarn blend may also be twisted or not,
and the fiber may be treated to have more or fewer barbs. For an aggressive action, our non-twisted 50:50 poly/wool pad is best. Twisted wool can transport
more compound, and that increases aggressive when used with an aggressive compound.

The numbering system for each family of Genuine Cyclo accessories indicates relative aggressiveness,
considering all physical characteristics of the materials. Note the last two digits in all cases. In our part
numbering system, a 72-145 foam pad is more aggressive than our 72-120 foam pad. A 72-445x4 is
more aggressive than a 72-435x4 wool pad. The hundreds digit (i.e. the “4” in 71-415x2 or the “1” in
72-145x4 indicated material, such as foam, or wool. The relative aggressiveness digits (last 2) do not
compare across different materials. That is, one cannot make an inference comparing a -415 (wool
accessory) to a -145, -120, -110 or other 100 series (foam accessories) The number after x denotes the
