Polished RV-12?

[Catbird]

I purchased a Cyclo dual head orbital polisher at Sun-N-Fun last year to polish my RV-12. Having no experience with this stuff, I was uncertain as to what to expect. To my absolute amazement, this thing works almost like magic, bringing up a mirror finish very quickly. I've read alot about people having to dig the polishing compound out of the pulled rivet heads. But with the Cyclo, there is no residual polish in the mandrel hole or around the head. I have no regerts whatsoever about the purchase and highly recommend the Cyclo to anyone who is considering polish.

Which polishing compound did you use for the RV-12 and which pad did you use on the Cycle Dual head?

Thanks,
