Default How to reach the 'corners' and panel gap areas?

I am new to this forum, but participate elsewhere as well. I thought I would ask here because the flavor of this place is perfection, where many other forums tend to lean to 'best possible results'.

I am going to be showing at the German Car Day at the Larz Anderson Auto Museum (probably very far from the 'nice' cars) but I still want my car to be in show 'shape'. I have recently found the combination that gets me 100% swirl free and delivers the look I am after with the products I have on hand. The question I have now, is how to reach some of these difficult to get places on that car.

I can not seem to polish out the corners of my trunk up near the window glass. This tight space does not allow a 6" pad to reach up in there and still be safe. How do you reach these area's for 100% perfection? I was thinking of opening the trunk, and trying to polish with the trunk open, so I wouldn't interfere with the window glass and the other body seams in that area. Sort of chaning a horizontal panel, into a vertical panel.

I was also considering this approach so I could try to polish the panel gaps entirely. 100% to the edge. (obviously with the pad tilted so I am running the rotary 'off' the paint, and hopefully staying away from causing real damage)

The area I am trying to reach is here.



What are your idea's and how do you reach these hard to get places?
