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 or pop? I guess I just thought after removing the defects you could just burnish the paint with a DA same as usual. Any thoughts?
 
I'm not talking about product, I'm asking about technique. Why the push down hard KBM vs. just light final polishing with a soft polishing pad? Is KBM better even during the final step?
 
In my somewhat limited experience with it, the M205 works best with some pressure (I know, that's not what the label says).



If you want to use a finishing pad with it, I'd use the newer Meg's black one; otherwise I find that finishing pads (e.g., LC black) don't really work better than some polishing pads, at least on hard clear.



The only time I do the "virtually no pressure" thing is with *really* light burnishing/jeweling on an already "perfect" finish, and for that I'd use something that finishes out better than M205 anyhow. Unless a finish is already to the point where most would say it can't get any better, I apply pressure.
