KBM via Surbuf pad:
This process can be messy.
7" surbuf pad.
6" BP
PC or XPPC
Straight IPA
1. Do not prime the surbuf pad.
2. Apply 4 "larger then pea sized" dots of
M105 to the pad.
3. Work the polish into an 12x12" area without turning on your PC.
4. Spritz the surface with water.
5. As in step 3, again work the polish around without turning on your PC, you are looking for a milky consistency.
6. Turn on PC and work the polish till it appears to dry.
7. Spritz more water onto the suface and continue to polish. What this does is bring the polish out of the pad and back to the surface.
8. I have found that you will need IPA sprayed onto your MF to remove the
M105 from the surface.
9. Inspect and repeat if needed.
Notes:
If you find that one time is not enough to remove defects, you can always repeat #7 and keep on polishing.
After 2-3 sections, you will need to clean the pad by brushing off the pad and blowing out the excess polish with compressed air. After the pad becomes overly saturated w/ polish clean with warn water and some APC. Spin to dry. The pad does not have to be totally dry to use it again.
I have removed severe defects and 2000 grit wetsanding marks with this method.
Depedning on the hardness of the clear, you "might" be able to go right to M205 with a gray finishing pad via the KBM. Sometimes a middle step with
M105/orange pad via KBM is required.
IMO this method will level paint as good as a rotary.
