The Cyclo Orbital Polisher has been polishing planes, automobiles, and RVs
since 1953, when they received patents on their orbital polishing
mechanisms. That same year, the company received approval from the US
government to polish the military’s aircraft and missiles. The Cyclo
Polisher is still used today to polish the Air Force One fleet. With a
resume like that, we just had to see what the Cyclo is all about. The Cyclo
Polisher
is the only dual-head polisher on the market. Both heads move in an orbital
motion, counter-clockwise. The idea is to simulate hand polishing but at a
much faster rate. Going over a scratch or swirl with both heads ensures that
you are attacking it from all sides, so to speak. No matter what angle you
look at the paint, you will not see the former blemish. It’s the fool-proof
polisher!
TWO HEADS ARE BETTER THAN ONE
The synchronized movement of the Cyclo Polisher’s dual orbiting heads most
effectively mirrors the overlapping circular motion of fine hand polishing.
The result is a perfectly balanced machine that produces less vibration and
a mirror-like finish without swirl marks or risk of damage to paint.
Because of its dual headed orbital design, its polishing heads do not
remain in one spot—even if the polisher is held in a stationary position. As
a result, there is no heat build up. No burning, marring, gouging, or swirl
marks can occur. Even a novice can produce professional-looking results
without the risk of damaging a vehicle’s trim pieces or finish.

Model 5 Dual Head Orbital Polisher/Scrubber/Finisher/Shampooer,
115VAC
The synchronized movement of the Cyclo mirrors that of hand rubbing – an
overlapping circular motion. And the Cyclo’s twin heads don’t
spin in one place, so there’s no threat of heat build-up or burn marks. The
Cyclo continues to be the polisher of choice for aircraft. In fact it's
currently used to polish the Air Force One fleet and most major airline
fleets worldwide. The Cyclo delivers a superior polish on mainstream
products such as automobiles, boats, even Airstream™ RVs. Car dealerships,
automobile detailers, car washes, and fleet users all rely
on the Cyclo to keep their vehicles looking like new.

VIBRATION ELIMINATION SYSTEM
Cyclo Toolmakers, Inc. Vibration Elimination System (VES™) is available
exclusively on Cyclo Dual Head Orbital Polishers and is composed of a
completely redesigned counterweight and precision matched, weighted inserts.
Prior to this innovation the Cyclo Model 5 polisher imparted only about
one-tenth the vibration of traditional rotary and dual action polishers.
With the introduction of the new Cyclo VES, the amount of vibration is
reduced even further and nearly eliminated.
Cyclo VES Counterweight:
Completely reengineered, the Cyclo VES counterweight comes installed on all
new Cyclo Model 5 Polishers.
VES will be available for Model 5C and 6CE polishers starting in 2009.
Cyclo VES Weighted Inserts: By simply matching the correct VES
weighted insert to the intended attachment system configuration -
head assemblies with Rubber Pad Holders or bonnets, carpet and scrub
brushes, Quick Connect Adapters with DoublePrecision™ pads, or other Genuine
Cyclo attachments - you can nearly eliminate all vibration.

Premium Protection for Sailplane Finishes
New improved Wx/Block now features the latest nanotechnology to enhance the
gloss and longevity
of sailplane gel coat finishes.
This premium finish protection contains maximum levels of UV
protection along with gloss enhancing and anti-static surfacing agents for
gel coat . finishes. Wx/Block helps maintain a high level of sailplane gel
coat integrity by reducing the effects of environmental exposure.
Nanotechnology Improves Performance
The inclusion of nanoscale particles in Wx/Block and Wx/Seal improves
smoothing and levels the microscopic inconsistencies on gel coat
surfaces.Leveling of the surface topography results in a higher gloss and
better sealing of the micro-porosity present in all gel coat finishes. The
nanoscale formulation improves the refectivity of gel coat surfaces
resulting in increased gloss values and provides better retention of UV
active inhibition for improved performance.
Gel Coat and the Sun
Gel coat finishes are subject to chemical processes driven by exposure to
ultraviolet solar radiation ,this incudes photo-initiation and
photo-oxidation. The process of photo-initiation causes chemical changes in
a micro-thin surface layer of gel coat while photo-oxidation degrades
surface molecules.Sunlight and reactive atmospheric compounds will yellow
and embrittle gel coat over the length of exposure. While traditional hard
wax or consumer type waxes will polish gel coat, their UV protection is
limited. Wx/Block’s solution is to provide active UV protection on the
surface for an extended period of time.
Wings & Wheels
made an exclusive agreement with the manufacturers of Wx/Block
to make this great product for sailplane owners and owners of other *gel
coated composite aircraft.
Wx/Block and Wx/Seal products are available ONLY through Wings &
Wheels
This might explain
why the only people who don't recommend Wx/Block and Wx/Seal are
some glider products dealers who cannot offer it!
Used and recommend by hundreds of satisfied customers,
sailplane repair shops and gliderport operators.
* Though Wx/Block was developed to
improve the durability and life span of sailplane gelcoats it is also a
terrific product to use on other materials and finishes. Wx/Block provides
UV and moisture protection not commonly found in other waxes and polishes.
Wx/Block
and Wx/Seal are specially formulated to protect Sailplane Finishes. The
surface protection contains maximum levels of UV inhibition, along with
gloss enhancing and anti-static surfacing agents SPECIALLY designed for gel
coat finishes. Wx/Block was designed to help maintain a high level of gel
coat integrity by reducing the effects of environmental exposure. Wx/Block
is completely safe for all gel coats, polyester based finished (Prestec or
Duratec) or urethane paint finishes.
The Wx/Block block system is extremely easy to apply, just wipe on and hand
buff for an outstanding gloss finish. Wx/Block is also perfect for daily
clean-up and bug removal.
Wx/Block and Wx/Seal is an easy to
use 2 part system. First, Wx/Seal is applied as a surface sealing and
cleaning compound, which conditions the surface. All Gel coats contain
microscopic porosity. The Wx/Seal cleans residual dirt and wax from the
surface and seals these porosity's actually helping the Wx/Block adhere to
the surface. Wx/Seal may be applied by hand or if you prefer by machine.
Finally, Wx/Block is applied by hand which contains the UV Blocking and
Anti-Static agents which help to protect the finish. These agents also
produce lower surface tension than standard waxes and reduce the severity of
bug sticks and dust accumulation.

USER COMMENTS:
Not meaning this as advertisement but I want you to know what we have
observed
on a refinished LS-3A. One expects UV to attack the upper surfaces of a
glider. Normally, the upper surfaces tend to fade and "yellow" more than
lower
surfaces. The owner of this LS-3 used "weather block" on the upper surfaces
only and we can see...with no doubt, that the upper surfaces are in better
condition after about 5 years. The lower (un treated) surfaces are now an
"off-white" (or yellowed slightly) while the treated upper surface is a nice
"blue-white" . You can come to any conclusion you want...but this Weather
Block" stuff does make a difference in protecting a fiberglass Gel-Coated
finish....End of advertisement...Regards, Bob

AVIATION MICROCOATING
AND POLISH
Racers Edge Aviation
Polish provides the richest, deepest shine on all exterior aircraft
surfaces. It is made for use on painted, composite and all metal* surfaces
as well as glass and acrylic windows. It also meets the stringent
specifications for use on commercial aircraft exteriors as specified by
Airbus, Boeing and Douglas. Racers Edge Aviation Polish utilizes a unique
blend of highly protective polymers and Teflon® to provide maximum
protection against the effects of acid rain, salt water environments, Avgas,
kerosene, exhaust residue, runway asphalt tar, reverted rubber splay.
Teflon® is used because of its unique qualities that reduce drag when
applied to aircraft exterior surfaces. UV50 sunscreen is added
to the formula to protect against the sun's damaging rays, especially from
high altitude exposure.
Drag reduction contributes to fuel savings, and/or increased airspeed.
This is why the winningest air racing teams use Racers Edge Aviation Polish.
The drag reducing capability of Racers Edge has been tested by the USAF in
Project 'HAVE SLICKER'; (AFFTC-TR-98-05).
The Racers Edge Aviation Polish formula is unique. Its cleaning properties,
versatility and ease of use distinguish it from all other polishes and waxes
used on aircraft. Additionally, Racers Edge Aviation Polish contains no
abrasives. One application lasts up to 6 months.

Hard Bar (Wax?)
You may hear a lot about "Hard Waxing"
but what most don't know is that hard bar was is really not intended as a
wax at all, hard bars do contain a wax as a base but these are really
polishing compounds, the wax used is there to contain the fine abrasives
used for polishing, much the same as "Jeweler's rouge"
. Applied with a machine only, on sailplanes a special edge buffer is used
and it is still a favorite method by many repair shops. Machine polishing
hard bars do provide excellent polishing, and provide a high
shine since the surface is highly polished to a super smooth finish. Hard
Bars however provide little real moisture protection and will offer
virtually nothing in the way of UV protection. Each Bar should be enough for
complete polishing of one or two gliders when properly applied. The special
edge type buffer is required for proper application of all hard bar waxes.
Hard Bar Finishing should always be followed up with a minimum of a good wax
for moisture protection and for the best UV and moisture protection with a
product like or at best, the Wx/Seal and Wx/Block products.

FYI:
Removing old tape residue

I don't offer
this since it is flammable and could be classified as "hazardous" for
shipping (extra cost to you) you can almost always find it locally at most
auto parts stores, hardware stores and paint suppliers for about ten bucks a
quart. Some companies offer their own "brand" like NAPA Auto Suppliers. This
is the BEST adhesive cleaner I have ever used for removing old tapes, tape
residue and is completely safe for almost any painted or gel-coated finish.
Buy it locally.. always keep some on hand!

MICRO-MESH® CUSHIONED
ABRASIVES
MICRO-MESH® THE
NON-ABRASIVE ABRASIVE
Micro-Mesh® is what we like to call a non-abrasive abrasive. It is
considered a cushioned abrasive in fact.
Conventional sandpaper is designed to be aggressive so that it will dig
deeply. In its manufacture the crystals are electrically charged so that
they will stand up. They are locked into a hard resin and when you apply
the paper to a surface it will literally tear in and remove the
substrate of the material you are sanding. The crystals cut in a
negative raking motion, leaving inconsistent scratch patterns.
Micro-Mesh® does the opposite. The backing is long lasting cloth to
which an ultra-flexible cushioning layer is applied. This cushioning
layer will determine how far forward you can push crystals before they
will penetrate the cushioning layer. On top of this layer, we have a
very resilient glue, not a hard resin, but a completely flexible glue
that will hold the crystals while allowing it to move and rotate. The
crystals can turn in any direction without coming loose. When you start
to apply pressure to sand with Micro-Mesh®, the crystals will go into
the cushioning layer while beginning to cut a bit. If you push harder,
they will go further into the cushioning layer, which serves as a safety
valve. It determines how much pressure you can exert in a doward
direction. Instead of a deep scratch that sandpaper makes, Micro-Mesh®
produce a refined scratch that is close to a RMS of 1.0. The cushioning
layer also allows the crystals to cut with a planing motion that leaves
an extremely consistent scratch pattern and allows you to achieve
extraordinary levels of gloss.
Where conventional abrasives will take surfaces down 2 or 3 thousandths
(.002 or .003), Micro-Mesh® will take it down one ten thousandth (.0001)
or less.

CANOPY CLEANERS
AND POLISHES
Conventional
Plastic Cleaners
Plastic-cleaning products have often proven to be
less than satisfactory.
Existing cleaners are often messy to use (especially creams and pastes)
and require several steps to apply. They have to be rubbed on and
buffed. They often leave a sticky, tacky or oily residue. And, in many
cases, they're abrasive, leaving small lines in the plastic.
Dissatisfied with these cleaners, many people resort to products that
are alcohol, ammonia, or petroleum-based. Unfortunately, these products
can dry out plastic, leading to cracking and
discoloration over time.
Using the products specifically designed for acrylic (plastic) canopies,
windshields and windows
can help to prevent these problems and even improve some
conditions.
