received my new rotary from Tim @ CleanYourCar today, and as its a new model just realsed i thought i'd do a review on it. first up, some pics to show the size and design and a short video to show how much noise it makes at various speeds.

comes supplied a nicely designed bag with the polisher snug inside;





with my flexipads 75mm backing plate fitted (standard M14 thread on this machine);







and with the supplied 5" flexpads backing plate fitted;





has some good flex to it, so should be good on curvy panels;



speeds shown;



speeds in rpm incraments from 700rpm - 2500rpm;



speed wheel on back of machine;



short video to demonstrate noise volume;

bit quieter than my kestrel sim180 i'd say..

and a few other pics;

Hey thanks for the sound clip Kev, noise can be an issue when working at home, especially for long periods of time as I dont want to upset any neighbours, I think I`m quite taken with this machine and it`s a the top of the shopping list :thumb:

Looking forward to part 2 . . . :)

Any idea when it'll get used Kev?

Like I said in the other thread, according to the stats it's lighter than a Chicago, which is impressive if true. I think the size has helped on that side of things.

Also is there any machines with a lower start speed than 700? I can't remember if there was.

I think you're right.

He's really listened to what people want I have to be honest.

Even looking for faults i'm struggling to see any, looks like a fantastic machine, okay it's not as pretty and as expensive looking as a CP but it's not meant to be.

I really like it. What small backing plate did you go for mate?

I notice there are 2 on CYC. Was it from somewhere else? I like the look of it.

The one that comes with it isn't by Flexipads, but called 'FlexEdge' as it has a really soft edge for extra control. It's really high quality so no need to jump in and buy anything else. We could have gone for a much cheaper plate with the polisher but thought that was worth the extra.

For the 3" plate the one that we sell:

I can't link to it, but it looks like this in the same section as the machine. Not important, but I think it looks good also.
