Just looking for some tips & tricks on getting into those hard to reach spots when using an orbital buffer? Have some oxidation I want to remove.
For an example of a tough to reach spot... where the top of your roof comes down and meets the trim around the door. Not quite an area you can get a buffer into.
Have to use a 10" now until I can spare the money for a PC.
Is the best way to work those areas by hand, albeit very time-consuming?
Thanks.

The hard to reach areas I work by hand its really its really the only way. Use the buffer to get most all done then go back over the areas that you could not hit with the rotary.

I like to use Poorboys Polish with Carnuba on the spots I can`t get the buffer into. It is incredibly easy to work with and is an all-in-one product so I keep my handwork down to a minimum. Before that, I used Klasse AIO, but PBs is easier to use and leaves a smoother finish IMO.

There are acutaly a few really good options here! Don`t be left out on the perfect uniform look! Small pads and backing plates can be had readily now. I have a set of 1.5" and 3" pads! A lamswool cutting pad and various pollshing pads. Put them on a drill or rotory tool like a dremmel and you have yourself a mini buffer! It`s not that expensive and the results are just as good as a full sized unit!
