    Question about KBM??

    In Kevin Brown's last update post, he mentions using 205 with a black/grey finishing pad using the KBM method with this combo. Why is it nesessary to use KBM method for a final polish with such a soft pad? Why can't you just do the final step the old fashioned way? Is there a difference in shine...

    To Tape or Not?

    Next weekend I plan on doing my winter prep job on the Lexus. My plan is 205 w/orange and maybe finish down a little with 205 on black/grey pad. You guys have taught me so well that I have very little marring since the Spring prep I did. Since I don't need to use anything harsh, like 105, do I...

    Zaino Z5Pro vs Wet Diamond

    I have read and searched several posts where many of you that I know use Zaino have also tried Blackfire Wet Diamond. However, I would like to know from users of both which one performs the best. It's time to order as I am out of Z5 and the Blackfire is getting great reviews from this site and...

    ONR + Z8 = gummy????

    Strangest thing happened to me this weekend. Got up early backed the car out and proceeded to ONR clean like I've done a zillion times before. All went well as usual. Pulled it back in the garage and did a few honey-dos that took about an hour. I decided to put down a coat of Z8 on the car for a...

    Spread the polish with KBM?

    After priming the pad and adding a few dots of product, do you still spread the product around on a low speed in the traditional manner or do you just lay it down and drop the hammer??? :buffing:

    Kevin Brown Method - What pad?

    You guys who are already using the KBM, what pad have you found to work best with 105 and the DA and 205 and the DA? I know this has been discussed but I could not find it with search. Just bought my son a 99 CRV that is in bad shape and need to place an order. It will be my first attempt at KBM.

    Is this ever gonna come out? Can we find it somewhere else? The guy hasn't posted in awhile and I'm concerned. Actually thought the site meltdown last week was the posting of his paper. :LOLOL

    Nuba over Zaino

    Has anyone had any success topping Z2 or Z5 with a nuba. I like Zaino and have used it for many years. My new car shines but has no depth. It almost has a fake appearence or "plastic like". I am considering topping it with Nattys Blue because apparently the NB plays well with sealants. Anybody...

    Need some help with interior scratches...

    What do you guys use to remove scratches from the plastic audio face plate and also the laminated wood grain on cars like Lexus. My car was a demo and has some pretty good scratches in these areas. A search says to use Silvo but the info is limited on how. Anyone tried this?

    I need some help!!

    Sunday, I wanted to try out a PFW pad and some Power Gloss using a PC on my wife's car that has some pretty severe scratches. Never used wool before and was amazed at it's corrective ability. However, I must not be doing something right. The finish itself wasn't bad, it will of course need...

    PFW + Power Gloss any advice??

    My first attempt with the PC went pretty well on my son's first "beater" car. Didn't want to spend alot of $$ at the time so I used some Turtle Wax Premium Compound and cleaned that up with ZPC. So, this weekend it's my wife's car, 2000 Ford Explorer Sport. Not as bad as the "beater" but...

    3M Plastic Polish.....what pad??

    Couple of years back I bought some 3m Plastic Polish for the headlights on my old car. I didn't have a PC at the time and did the best I could by hand. Now that I have a PC, any suggestions on which pad would be best to polish headlights and such? :thx

    I got a couple of questions???

    Last Friday we bought our son his first "beater", a 97' Honda Accord EX. Although the interior is quite nice, the exterior is as bad as I have ever seen. Sat. and Sun. I washed it up good and clayed the car. Never seen a clay bar look like that way after one use. Anyway, here my question. There...
