On harder clears the surbuf pad with any r/o is your answer.

This was with the surbuf pads. Except on the S2000, I just needed orange, then green.



It's great for removing swirls but cars with other defects I will always reach for the Makita. For the time sake plus the vibrations the RO causes is too much.

Patrick,



So you have never read about the KBM in any detail, but you are sure your technique is 99% of the KBM. :think: If I hadnt read the OP's and KB's reply, how could I have replied? This is the extent of my knowledge with this signature method. C'mon Bryan, Im not ignorant, don't treat me as such.



If you are not using a non-diminishing abrastive polish, then you are not doing the same process, aka the KBM. I mentioned "technique"..... Polishing "methods", to me, are inclusive of products used. Techniques are the mechanics a user uses when polishing.

If you are not priming the entire face of the pad as described above in the link that Kevin provided you are not doing the same process, ect. My priming is not identical to KB's. Although the entire pad is primed to my liking?



I have been there done that using diminishing abrasive polishes in the past with a PC. You just are not going to get true correction on severely defected paint in a reasonable amount of time. Reasonable is not a constant from detailer to detailer. If we all had to perform our details in a reasonable amount of time, we'd all be using rotaries. Ive got a King Ranch, Porsche and Bimmer on Saturday. Reasonable for me is about 12 hrs. Its going to be a long day.



I do apologize for bringing your business into this discussion, I should of asked if you ever used a non-diminishing abrasive first. No problem, just didnt feel it was necessary.

Well with 3-4 attempts over the last few weeks I have tried to KBM on a few cars just to see what all the hype is about. While it does work very well on certain paints, there were times I reached for the Makita to remove some RIDS and other defects such as pigtails. The KBM worked really well on a S2000 I just completed for full correction, but on a Vette, Infinity, and one Audi, it only did so much. I was left with deeper marks that were cleary visible in the sunlight.

Can you elobrate on the exact techniques/products you attempted on these vehicles? And what you ended up doing to achieve the results intended.
