  • Honda CRV rescued from paint shop

    The owner was very sad of his currently 7 years old Honda CRV & about to sent it away for repainting, I have countless encounters to dealt with many single mum (parents) giving up their kids. When I was serving in a children home... i have countless of such encounters, as many of them are in dire states.....I had the same mission now over this ride.. convincing the owner not to

    after pic...newly yours

    before...this is the hardest surface I ever encounter...no burning ..... at any speed

    after

    before

    after

    initial Test area - ccs cutting with D151
    50/50 test area, as i last week I have very good results but......not this

    frustrated, as i cant see much of different except felt smoother touch,
    change pad & change to M105 slightly better as this CC is badly oxidized, how i wish i have a paint reader now, earlier i have discuss with owner, the severity condition & had to be very careful not to make it worst

    after reading so much of KBM & suddenly out of the blue I stumble upon this method
    after compounding with M105

    misting the surface with 2 puff of H20 or puff 3 on cutting pad continue to work on the surface spread out on speed 1 slowly & continue with speed 2 moderate movement & little pressure & speed 1.5 lightly
    repeat twice





    1stly i am in tropical country, compound just dries up after few stroke of passes product dries very fast...if continue to polish on this residue swirls will be there, some how by spraying twice on the surface seems & go on a slower speed seems to be least aggressive & very effective results i acquired.. or mist 3 puff on my spinning pad, continue to work .by the 2nd or 3rd passes...soon i discover the results i was looking for.....although it not 100% prefect but least aggressive on fragile surface, in the edge of CC failure....I called it KCM


    before pics

    after KCM now clarity & definition reappears


    pics before..lack of definitions & clarity

              Hehehehe looking at the Honda I was thinking....was he driving around in the bush or what....then you answered my question....straight street driving....WOW.

              You have me confused KC. You said....

              "I have countless encounters to dealt with many single mum (parents) giving up their kids."

              Now are you referring kids as being cars or giving up their kids to have their cars repainted??? LOL..sorry friend, it made me chuckle alittle.

              Anyways above and beyond awsome work. I'm sure the owner was floored when he got her back!!
              Keep it up! It's always a pleasure to see your work.

                            Great Work KC

                            Silver is one of those colors that the more you look at it the more you find to correct and you pulled it off with precision.

                            I too love #80 and have found the more passes with it, it just keeps getting better and puts a shell like protection to the surfaces. It's been my go to product for old single stage paint with very thin millage.

                              Thanks dad (echo the words of Stuart)

                              utterly agree with you the more u do the more u get
                              M80 does work very very well on these fragile surface

                              thanks for sharing & helping us to discover the way
