As you will see from the before pics, this car was loaded with deep cob-webbing, holograms, RIDS, and water spots. The hood and fender had been repainted at one time and had one of the hardest clear coats I’ve ever laid a buffer to. After several passes with the wool pad and M105 I decided to just wet sand the panel lightly to get out the deeper scratches.

Tar specs that remained after washing. These were removed with Tarminator.

I felt this car would be a good candidate for trying out the KBM on my PC. Although I did not decide on this method for correction, I was amazed at what M105 would do with a PC, speed of 6, and a 6.5” orange foam pad. I took a couple 50/50 shots, which was after two applications (4-6) passes each. I will say the vibration is too much for my liking on the speed setting of 6.

Great work rasky! That evo looks great. How did the original paint sections compare to the resprays?



The original paint was on the soft side and was much easier to correct than the two panels that had been painted. :2thumbs:

Good job Rasky!



4 Steps though? Sounds like you could benefit a lot from a rotary.





It was all on the rotary. ;)



The (4th) final step could have been optional on most cars, but the customer wanted it to look as good as possible.
