I felt that a video might better demonstrate the technique.

As always credit must go to where it is do. Thank you to Kevin Brown for always expanding my knowledge of machine correction. Many of the concepts that come into play with this technique come from many late night, long conversations with Mr. Brown, before I coined the term, the Kevin Brown Method. (Of which many of the techniques in this video and the linked thread are, in fact, the KBM).

Todd I have plenty of pads but all ccs or hydrotech non flat so I ordered the yellow and blue. My old Acura has swirls that UC and m205 didn`t take out.

Todd, this is a great example of what using different pads really bring to the level of clarity and brilliance using only 1 product. When illustrating this, many seem shocked at the results when using 2 different pads and only 1 product...:bigups

The pad certainately makes a difference. It is also a function of reducing machine polisher speed while keeping pressure and arm speed consistent. This alters the pattern the machine moves on the pad. It in effect makes the pattern more `gentle` which creates a more even surface for abrasives being pushed against the paint. The result is a more uniform finish.

UPDATE: So after reading the article and seeing the video I was curious to try this technique out and I had the perfect opportunity to try it out on this 2012 BMW 3 series. Despite me saying not to go to the public car washes cause they scratch your car, my mom did it any way and boy did the car wash scratch her hood.
Used my GC with Meguiars pads cutting and polishing and M105, speed 6 for cutting and 4.5 for polishing. Great results! much easier IMO then having to polish with one then use another product.
