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.

Hey Rasky!!! I see you're up to your old tricks again!!!:notworthy::notworthy::notworthy:

The car looks fantastic! Have you ever driven one of those? It will give you a new appreciation. I would call the acceleration FERROCIOUS! (and I'm a Vette guy!):wink:
 
Awesome write up Rasky, Great pictures and the correction work looks super! Looks like you might need some Blackfire Wet Diamond Sealant to try out soon.........:notworthy:

Thanks Bill! I've actually not had the joy of taking one of these bad boys out yet. The owner had lots of suspension work done too....not sure on engine mods though.

Looking good Chad, that is one of my favorite set of correction steps but I use a different pad than the orange ccs. Also you have to love UF as a finishing polish.
