Witness the Power of M205 . . .
2 months ago I flew up to Seattle for the 1st Annual Seattle Shine Bonanza, to go wild on paint and learn about true show car wet sanding and finishing from the extraordinary Phantom Polisher: Jason Killmer .
For those of you who don't know him, he's the last man called in to touch paint before it is judged in some of the most critical and competitive vehicle shows and concours such as Pebble Beach and Ridler. Both of which his work has helped win. Without much fanfare [hence Phantom Polisher] Jason has worked on some of the best hot rods build in the last 10 years, including the 2013 Ridler Award Winner "Checkered Past." Not many people i know can spend 10 hours on a panel and walk away making it look like colored glass..
We spent 4 days in a cold dungeon that is his garage did some extraordinary things that are thought to not be achievable by conventional wisdom on paint - OEM and show car finish alike.
I learned a TON about how to wet-sand and finish show cars. Let me tell you this is a LABOR INTENSIVE endeavor that summons all of your patience and sanity, since some panels can be worked on for upwards of 10hrs!
What I have included here is a video that chronicles the absolute power of 205. That being said, while you CAN do this, I wouldn't recommend this.. its not practical in time or labor intensity, this is simply a demonstration of what is POSSIBLE.
We just did it to push the limit of what is achievable. It started off as a joking comment that took ahold then one after another we took out 200 grit, 1500, then 1000 and 800 grit.
Ive seen plenty written over forums and such about how M205 is obsolete, but i submit this video and say judge for yourself,
Please enjoy and revel what can be achieved with 205.
