Kevin Brown Method - My understanding

Kevin is still working on it and my reply is still very relevant...

I really don't know when things will be finished up.



This paper is much more than just pad priming. In fact, pad priming is a very small portion. The paper is dissecting each and every part of the DA in a way that makes sense.



It's like removing every last swirl on the car. It takes time and patience to get everything perfected. Once you see the paper, I'm sure you will understand the true value of Kevin's work.



I have already posted how to prime the pads.

Deadlines come and go, and self-imposed deadlines are tough to deal with.

Unfortunately, I missed my self-imposed deadline of May 1st. :sadpace:



So far this makes the second or third "deadline" for the paper's release.



I have been working on it virtually every night, but as with many of you, I have been busy in the day, and can only muster a little time here and there to get things done. That being said, the addition of graphics and new information has changed the paper to a degree that will help some of the beginners better understand the random orbital machine. All of the information pertaining to M105/M86 is included still, but a lot of guys have really learned how to get the best performance from M105, so perhaps there is not as much "new" information pertaining to it as what would have been perceived as "new" several months ago.



Anyway- sorry for the delay. Nothing life changing in the paper- just good buffing information that will be available soon. :woot2:

It is important to me that I make certain that the information is as complete and understandable as possible... especially since so many people have been waiting to look at it!



Thanks for your patience and politeness- I appreciate it. :bow
 
Kevin Brown- FWIW, I appreciate how difficult it can be to put something like this together *(to one's personal standards ;) ) and I hope you're not beating yourself up too much about how long it's taking. Gotta prioritize...



I certainly *am* looking forward to it though :D
 
Like everyone else, I'm eager to see the KB method in full. From what I've read it's a rolling time frame as Kevin works to complete the paper. Is there any tentative completion date that I may have missed while reading over this thread?



Also, I know Kevin is excited to unveil a finished product that will be very comprehensive and high quality, but is there any way Kevin would provide the document to us in it's current draft?
 
Wow I'm suprised that people need more cut. I used my Makita with PFW and M105 today, and it took TRASHED paint to 90% correction and finished down extremely nice in about 10 seconds. I crapped my pants.
 
Hi,



I'm really lazy to read 21 page of posts - what's the "Kevin Brown Method", is there an instruction/tutorial page anywhere on Autopia how to do it?

I am not authorized to post a full version of the paper.

No updates in 2 weeks? Any idea if this thing is progressing? I'm tempted to just go out and buy a flex to get some more correction with m105. :buffing:
 
does the seemingly extreme vibrations not bother anyone when applying this method? I only tried a small area and while it did work pretty well, I couldn't feel my arms from my elbows to my hands for a while lol

Gotta take this seriously. It can lead to "white finger", a permanent neurological problem. No kidding, this can be a big deal...and no, it's not a matter of how tough somebody is or whether they're in shape or not.
 
The latest update...

There has been progress on the paper. It seems to be stalled, but is not. I have been working on a new section, and it is a very difficult topic to write about. Perhaps it is not hard to understand, but it sure is tough to keep things simple when discussing it!



Right now, this new section will add possibly three to four more pages of text. As of right now, pages 13, 14, 15, and 16 are works in progress.



To note- all of these additions pertain to the use of the random orbital machine. There has been no new information added that relates to buffing liquids. Although buffing liquids, pads, and paint types are constantly changing, the machines we use are not changing all that much. The basic movements created by today's polishing machines are the same as they were over 50 years ago (orbital, rotary, or a combination of the two).



If I am doing my job well, this paper will give the reader a very complete understanding of how to wring the most out of the random orbital. It is a relatively simple machine, but how it is affected by outside factors is seemingly endless! I am trying to address all issues related to its use. :out:
