Monterey red C6 vert vette with some nice water spots
 
Festool FEQ 150 Love this machine, very low vibration and ultra smooth. You could use any R/O and get these results.

Surbuf pads via the Kevin Brown Method (KBM)/M105.

At a minimum the festool is on par with the G110v2. So far I have been doing all of my correction at speed 5, just like the G110v2.

The festool has less then half of the vibration of the G110v2 (v2 has less then XP PC). I believe it has a smaller throw, but still gets the job done. It feels better in your hands, you can finish polish with one hand as well as some polishing/compounding on flat surfaces.

I don't even feel the need to use it in forced rotation mode.

Thanks for that info......:thumbs:

Cool looking machine.....

For as many vehicles as you do, I can see where vibration may become an issue.....

Thanks Dave!

Its nice for sure, if they did not have a 30 day return policy I would of never tried it out.

Who me? Polishing paint on many cars? :D

Last week:

Black LS430 25 man hours of polishing between Bret and I.

This week:

This vette approx 18 hours of polishing.

Tomorrow a Ferrari 360 at least 10-12 hours of polishing.

Now its just a c6 cert vette with an awesome shine!!

Thanks again Bryan! I swear you made it drive faster for me!! Everything from the tires to the interior looked brand new.

You can count me in for an annual Spring Detail! I spent over an hour trying to find one waterspot and I could not find any!! Great job! Thanks.

Bryan,

You know what I'm up against with my 2008. So my question is are the Surbuf pads something that I should look into for the task at hand and can they be used on a PC?

Thanks and awesome job as always? I may still need to get you out here if I can scrape up the $'s.

Wayne, Try some M205 with an orange pad first. Prime the pad.

Just let me know. :thumbs:
