Thanks to Joe and his awesome skills and guidance I won the war against this absolutely destroyed finished. The battle of the waterspots was won with 205 and the Jsmooth technique!

Oh hell yes! I`m glad that method worked out. Did you have to spray the panels a lot? or did the 205 keep working as long as you needed it? Any pictures of how much you were loading on the pads?

And of course, great work!!!

It definitely broke down after a while but for the most part it really hung in there. I used per Joes recommendation, 1 half dollar drop to prime, then a mix of 2:1 205:water on the pad. I used a lot, a full 32 oz in all. I basically made a 4 ring spiral everytime I reloaded the pad. You really have to work super clean with this setup so it`s best to have a lot of pads.

The car looks great ! However; I guess I need some schooling here. What is the advantage of this technique over the traditional technique of say M105 or HD Cut? Both techniques still require a second step for finishing. Obviously it works, but what would make one choose this technique over the traditional ?

It is a lot to explain. Here is the article JSMOOTH posted in TheDriver`s original thread. Definitely worth the long read.

It`s alot quicker of a cut, and IMO more even distribution of cut (Less chance of burning or striking through). Also allows for a much faster finishing down. Going from 205 to 4000 was cake, it really made the whole thing worth it for sure.

Also worth a note that I did a spot traditionally with the rotor, it removed more material and less spotting (overall circumference of the passing area).

I hope that helps.

An thanks guys!

Thanks guys. Great read ! Man this really makes you think outside of the box. It makes a lot more sense now that I understand the science behind it. I don`t own a Rupes but do have a Flex. I wonder if anyone has tried this with the Flex and the B&S Microfiber Pads.
