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.



50/50 KBM

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.
