But hitting this flat surface might take some effort. Any idea's?

Thanks on the paint, it's taken a long time to figure out my 'process' for what was working best. I have also completely given up on washing, unless I know I am going to a show, no wash media ever hits the surface, I just pressure wash, and spray on some car soap, then pressure wash it away. Leaf blow to 'dry' then I am done. It's not clean, but it's a lot better, and it's not scratched. By the way, can anyone find the painter in that photo?


I digress...thanks for the tips, keep em coming.

If there's just no way to get any sort of pad in there via rotary or DA, then by hand would be the only way?

Sometimes you can take some thin cardboard--like that that laundries use to back shirts that are folded and that many new shirts have--and put that in the gaps of doors etc to keep your buffing pad from going on to another surface.

Here's a link for a "kit" that might also be useful--no affiliations etc--http://www.danase.com/slstdecosy.html
