Seems to me that a huge part of this is might be specific to the characteristics of M105.
I know *I* was very surprised when the PC and Flex did such incredible work with M105 on my M3, the same project that`d resisted some *very* aggressive rotary work.
Leaving polish residue on the panels and following up with a milder step (e.g., a finishing pad and/or less pressure) is stuff that some of us have done for ages; I know ebpcivicsi and I have discussed doing it a few times in the past.
I think the big thing here is that Kevin Brown has put all the different factors together into a properly integrated method/system. It`ll be interesting to see his final write up.
And yeah...when guys like TH0001 are so impressed by somebody, well, that`s mighty impressive!

Those who care about such stuff might be interested in how the amount of paint removed would compare between a conventional rotary approach and the KBM :think:
