Kevin Brown Method - My understanding

Here is the answer...



Kevin Brown said:
It will be before the end of this month.

I am currently working on it an average of approximately 2-4 hours per day.



It it hard to gauge the progress because I've added another section and it required more graphics. I've also moved sections around.

Once I get past the first twelve or so pages, the diagrams are not needed nearly as much. Since I added to the beginning of the paper, I have been stuck on page three, four, five, etc.



Even though it is a long paper, the graphics take up a lot of space.

Don't get me wrong- there's a lot to read, but it should be a pretty easy read. Easy read, yes. Easy write... NO!



Once I finish a few pages, I send it off for input from Chris Dasher.

He helps to correct grammatical and sentence structural errors. We discuss wording on certain paragraphs or sentences.

He looks at the diagrams and sometimes recommends changes. Then we move on.



Next, it will go to my new pal Al (recommended by Dasher). Al is sharp- he caught errors we did not, and he is a crack shot on the punctuation stuff. Plus, he reads the paper from a different perspective because he is somewhat new to the paint polishing scene. Then I ponder his suggestions and fix obvious mistakes. I've added a section because he asked me some basic questions that were not answered for him by reading a small part of the paper. I knew the answers weren't in the paper later on down the line, as I was not going to cover the topic. But, after some thought (and an additional 40 hours of work!), it is nearly completed.



When it is all done I will send it off to the big-gun shooters.

If they say it looks good, we are a GO. I am trying to fast track it.



Just when I think I am finished, I always have to make changes.

Put it this way- I thought I was certainly going to post it by November 1st, 2008!!

I am not sure if this has been covered but............. :think2



  1. How will "The Paper" be distributed? PDF download?




  2. Has a fee been discussed? I think all of this great work deserves some compensation for time and energy spent.
 
The paper will be posted as JPEG images to make it easier to post.



I will have a PDF (or Word doc) available for download.





As far as I know, it is going to be free (but you can pay Kevin if you want).
 
Kevin is hard at work on his paper. Anyone who has tried to write a paper knows that it often goes much slower than one would like, especially if one is trying to do a thorough and good job, as Kevin is doing. The process cannot be rushed. The paper will get finished when it gets finished. Of all people, Autopia detailers should understand that some jobs cannot, should not, be rushed, not if one is hoping to do a good job. Kevin is devoting to his paper the same passionate commitment to excellence and attention to detail that the best of you give to the details of your cars.

Never tried it but it seems the LC CCS pads will make a comeback with the Kevin Brown Method? The foam pad might self prime when applying pressure.

A "flat" or non-ccs pad works much better IME. You want maximum contact area between the pad and the paint.
 
I was asked to test 105 via PC and to give my personal thoughts. So, I figured this would also be a great reason to see what all the hype was about.



Here are my findings...



1. Works better on a PC then rotary. (Never thought I would say that.)



2. Dusts like a MOFO!!!!!! (wear a mask for sure)!!!!!!



3. The older 5.5 LC flat orange OEM pads worked the best out of all the pads I tried during testing.



4. Cuts and corrects very good in a short time.



For tough jobs that need to be knocked out quick on a budget, this is a good way to get it done quick.
