2) In order to affix the Cyclo bonnets to the twin heads, first disconnect the power cord, then simply turn the polisher upside down
and rest it in your lap. Turn the bonnet inside out and place its rubber base squarely on one of the heads. Now, grip the head and the
bonnet firmly between both hands, and with the thumbs, turn the edge of the bonnet down over the head. Rotate the head slightly and
repeat the step above until the bonnet’s edge is completely over the head.
With the velcro pads, you install the rubber pad holder (a rubber jacket with Velcro attached) in the same manner as above.
However, to change pads just peel off the used pads and attach a fresh pad by pressing it firmly in place centered on the velcro jacket.
3) The pads and bonnets should be cleaned as soon as possible after use with a good industrial cleaner or detergent in warm water.
For best results, wash the foam pads out by hand, squeeze dry (do not twist or wring) and let air dry. The wool pile pads should also be
washed with a good industrial cleaner or detergent and then run through with a brush. The wool pads and can also be washed in warm
water and tumble dried in a cool dryer.
CYCLO POLISHERS, CLEANERS & PROTECTANTS
Never try to use a rotary type polish or cleaner with the Cyclo polisher and never try to use Cyclo polishes with rotary tools. The
Cyclo products are specifically formulated for use with the Cyclo and though some hand application type polishes may give
satisfactory results, we recommend that for the BEST results only the laboratory and field tested genuine Cyclo products be used with
the Cyclo tool.
1) On painted surfaces use the CTI Pro Paint Care line or the CTI One Pass Express:
CTI Pro Paint Care Line:
1. Heavy Compounding Gel – Removes scratches and heavy oxidation from surface. Very aggressive compounding
polish for use on any surface.
2. Light Compounding Liquid – Great for removing hairline scratches and medium oxidation. It’s mildly aggressive and
can be applied to entire painted surfaces.
3. Cleaner-Deoxidizer – Smooths and conditions the paint surface and removes light to medium oxidation, leaving the
rejuvenated paint ready for polish or sealants.
4. Polish and Protective Sealant – Gives paint that lustrous shine it had when new, and gives tough-as-nails protection
for up to 18 months.
CTI One Pass Express:
1. Cleaner-Polish-Sealant – With just one step you can do it all. Remove oxidation and scratches. Rejuvenate a dull
finish. Protect the mirror shine from the elements.
2) On unpainted aluminum or stainless steel use the CTI Metal Polish:

surface film while also leaving a polished finish that is absolutely stunning. For quality that meets high government
standards for its aircraft, insist on Free Flite
TM
Cleaner-Polish
2. Free Flite
TM
Protectant Sealant – Specially formulated to bond to bare metal, allowing you to deoxidize the surface
and effortlessly remove polishing scratches. Plus, its protective coat helps prevent further oxidation.
Polishing:
1) After you have placed the pads or bonnets on your Cyclo tool, connect the tool to the power supply.
2) Apply a small amount (about a teaspoon, or a spot the size of a dime) of the proper polish to each pad; small amounts work
better than large amounts.
3) Place the twin-head Cyclo tool, pad side down on the surface and move the tool around before turning it on in order to distribute
the polish within the pad and over the surface.
4) Turn on the tool and move it back and forth and side to side across an area approximately 2’ x 2’ in size. This will spread the
polish or deoxidizer across the surface in a latticed pattern.
5) 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 comfortable speed. Deoxidize or polish the entire car in this manner. When you
have finished, rub out by hand the powdery residue left from the deoxidizer or smooth out any smudges left by the glaze. We
recommend our white pads/bonnets, microfiber or terry covers for removing any remaining residue.
