don't get me wrong, the HF polisher does a good job, but the cyclo blows it away. You'll probably find the brushes toast (both sets) or the disk will break free from the shaft after about 20 hours of use, at least did for us. only a few spots on the curb side tomorrow, then I become rookie awning installer.... then back to the street side which is only about 2/3 done I think. The rear section is down to working around the lettering, which I'm doing mostly by hand with rags and q-tips (yeah don't laugh, I'm not OCD really I'm not). I dunno if it is the light at the end of the tunnel is daylight or a headlight.
