How do we find this Kevin Brown method?

Speed 5 for both polishes (of two polish system) I only have "grabby" on the finishing polish. I did by accident have the flex on 6 with the correction polish and my pad was "steaming" when I stopped. Pressing to hard and speed I felt. Turned down and lighten up and gone.

Yes, that sure is a bute!! Love the "chrome" like look of the black!

Hello Adam, Flex ix the machine I use. I use two lines, Light squeeze and draw a line. Your lines appear to be "heavier" So, say your panel takes four sections to complete the panel I would "load" the pads four times and brush out four times. No detail spray at all during this or anytime at this point.

True that and this point has been raised from the collective. So, would revive suit this need to get polish oils off paint for sealant application OR is this a none issues to begin with?

Yes, the "normal" wash not the "waterless" wash routine is what I was meaning with the spray.

So, if I understand you Adam, we would brush out pad (to fluff fiber) then hit with detail and run again only adding polish if the pad looks as if it is not laying down polish when spreading? See what I'm seeing is the fibers are "matting" down right away thus creating huge drag and grabby especially on the finish polish pads.

I remember some thread where someone was doing a rinse less spray (1:16) ratio to the two bucket wash routine Adams shampoo that is and possibly adding an oz to that bucket as well. Does make sense, sounds good I think to help fight wash swirls??

Hmm the only product is oils from polishes as this is after correction before sealant application. What revive can it be used or is there oil res after it?

So, in other thread(s) I've been discussing the new microfiber pads loading up with polish as you use. In search for a good answer I noticed in the videos the Adams grew really load these puppy's up with polish, so my two "light" lines are not an issue as far as I can tell. So, I can't help but think for a heavy hammered mid size to full size car they must be using 2-3 sets of microfiber pads because at the load rates they show I would not make half way around car before loading up bad. Yes, they are brushed every time it comes off the paint. How many pads are we using folks?

Just wondering do you own a thickness gauge and if so not cheap I bet?

Fluid film can't say I've heard of this? A USA only product maybe??

Towel was new out of the package. I forgot that most use the double soft, but I was locked into the waffle for liquid.

I've had great success with no name pam for underside. Rest of machine, your an Adams family guy, get er done......

SO, once again I was faced with "cloudy, streaky" IPA wipe down so I stopped and just did a waterless wash wipe down and sealed. 70%, 50\50 mix and distilled water. Blue waffle weave used. Any thoughts?

Hi, this is with microfiber you are doing this NOY foam pads? Interesting........ I would have thought your level of correction would suffer.

Question is what kind of tape? I have yet been able to get tape to stick even with the APC trick! AND this is 3m body shop tape!!

Well, pretty much done, just need to correct front clip and clean windows and trim in spots and call it a day which I will do Sunday as it has been a 13 hour day today no stop. I'm going to soak in the tub I'm just a aching!!! No photos, not able to get the blasted camera to work! It was a tough enough day.

I'm thinking we are on the right track. This would explain other issues such as "grabby" because pad fiber would flatten soon after starting. We are to add product each time we start a new section, correct? I was adding only two lines and not real heavy. What do you think about adding only say one line of polish once you have pad well primed??

It can take a couple of goes of APC and warm water, also I found best to due the day of use.

What I'm seeing is my fiber pads are loading up "very wet" even with brushing after each section pass 2*2 area. I use two lines each time I start again, fluff fiber each time as well. Can I just add detail spray to get product out OR do you need to add product every time? I have switched to a new set of pads and the "grabby" is gone for the finish pad and the finish polish seems to wipe off better. I do however fear that this will "load" before I'm done as well.

Coming along nice, tried for photos but shots no good at this time does not show well need to figure out camera.

Yes, Brinkman Dual LED Pivot spotlight for me. You can get a xeon (sp) light which is fixed.

Hi Kingsford, I've not seen a lot of dusting until recent and I'm also seeing "steam" coming off the orange pad so I do have some heat into panel and pads. To much do you think? But this polish is fine to remove only the finishing gets "grabby". I notice machine (flex) got bumped to 6 so dialed back to 5 "steaming" much less if any. I also lighten up on pressure. I understood the new finish had a longer work time so I am working longer, both polishes really. Results are fine no marring or holograms that I can see.

Oh..... and you want to do this as a side job as well.... I don't think I could do that. Kind of like they say a mechanics car is the worst running car because they do it all day and don't like working on them at home. Great that you still have the passion eh!! Nothing more satisfining when it shines with no swirls !!!
