For what it's worth I've got about 3/4 of my truck done with the cyclo so far (paint correction), swirl marks and water spots disappear with ease, minor scratches (not through the clear coat) seam to take a lot more work, I think a single pad buffer would work better for scratch removal. This thing also likes speed, set at 4 or lower it vibrates pretty good, set it at 5 or higher and it's smooth as silk. So far I'm pretty happy with it. The double soft towels and car shampoo are amazing!! I've never used a soap that was this easy to rinse off.
