    Kevin Brown Method?

    Who is Kevin Brown and what is his method? So much talk on the boards and only thing I see is a write up on pad priming.

    Personally, I think it`s alot of hype.
    People have been priming pads for a long time. Just a little differently. I do it by placing the loaded pad on car and moving it around by hand, then turning on buffer.

    It`s a myth - both the person and the method were invented as an urban legend by someone at Autopia. It`s on Snopes.com.
    I still don`t believe in grit guards.

    Kevin Brown as of yet is still working on his paper . Anyone that has had any dealings with him knows he is a stand up guy and not pushing any certain brand on anyone. He is honest on who he reps (Mirka and a few other lines) and always willing to lend a hand or helpful advise to those that ask.Just an old mans 2 cents .

    Marketing hype.

    There is a vendor (not on this site) that is selling Kevin Brown polishing kits.

    "the new KBM (Kevin Brown Method) Kit is designed to increase the efficiency of all oscillating machines."

    As I said, MARKETING HYPE.

    I have read snippets from various places and from I can tell all you do is manually prime a pad before polishing rather than getting it primed during polishing the first few panels. And then use pressure during polishing which must force the polish out of the pad.

    Re: Kevin Brown Method?

    I`m no expert on this, but a couple friends of mine know Kevin and they all say he`s a good guy - that`s good enough for me. The thing about the "KBM" is the technique for using specifically Megs 105 with a PC to get results equal or better than a rotary. Now, before you say (no way) I can name several top detailers that swear it`s true.

    OK, the name "Kevin Brown Method" was actually started by one of those guys and he has since gone to work for an on-line store where they have put together some kits specifically for the KBM. Is that hype? Maybe, if you didn`t have all the facts. Me? I`ve been doing a variation of the KBM with other products with good results, but I doubt I could hang with the full timers that have the whole M105 thing down pat.

    Re: Kevin Brown Method?

    The KB method is not "new" but rather an old technique revised and updated for todays products and tools.

    The concept is based on the actions of an orbital sander used in the body shops and then utilized by detailers. In a nutshell the orbital polisher is the sander, the pad and the product are the abrasives.

    The abrasive is applied to the face of the pad to replicate the abrasives on sandpaper, pressure is then applied for the first several passes, pressure is then eased up, at times water spritzes may be applied to continue the cutting/polishing action of the product. The method works but is time consuming and while it can get rotary results I personally don`t find any time savings.
