Looks just like a Cyclo Polisher.
Been around since the 60's and is considered the cats azz to many auto detailers.
Lots of different accessories available from brushes, scrubbing, waxing, buffing etc. for the Cyclo.
The drive attachment not accepting the wide variety of easily available Cyclo accessories would be the deal breaker for me.....if it didn't........does it??

That would be a killer way to clean steps. ( as in it would KILL you back, knees arms and legs)
Just get a Oreck orbilal or two and quit fooling yourself that a car buffer is the way to go.

Sweet....a lot of guys on the auto detailing forums swear by them.
Very versatile machines and they last forever.

With a driver some juice and 12" pads the Oreck will run circles around those two little pads on that car buffer. You should at least give it a try and see what your techs say after a couple of hundred steps with each method since you already have one. With a Oreck you start at the top and work down. No bending. The head pivets to get the bull noses.

In the past the orek just didn't seem to do much. We have used it a bunch of times
The unit I ordered has a 6' adjustable handle so we shouldn't have any bending
We will bring
The new tool
The orek
The stepson
And the grinder with pad driver and see what's what
Doing the job Sunday night
Report to come Monday afternoon with pics

We have the Cyclo. I like it but it is loud. Yours is better with the mods made to clean upright instead of bent over.
Shorty has one. I think he likes his.

Looks like a lot of back-breaking work.
But then again, I'm old.

It sure looks like that tool could also give a hell of a good shoe shine to boot.
I bet if you do the cleaning + chip in a good shoe shine, it is gonna do wonders for tips

I've never cleaned the them with the upright handle but with the Cyclo it is heavy and it has quite a bit of torque. It will do a good job on them and the dry extremely fast. Which is a major concern in commercial work.

I was wanting to get a Padson. I'd like to hear your thoughts of which is better after you use it.

Jimmy, you should sell that OP cheap to me if it just sits!

Jimmy just sits, do you want him too?
Looks like a two-fer going on. but if you had both which one would you talk to more? lets take a poll, but more guys would probably say the OP machine.

Depends, if you talking about personality then hands down the OP machine has way more than James.
