How you guys polish behind door handles bmw has kindney grills narrow piece of metal in between how do you polish out scratches from those places.

Behind door handles is a simple wrap MF around two fingers, apply compound... make your fingers work! Then do same with polish - scratches will come out :dblthumb2:

I actually tried this but they are heavy scratches and i didnt have strong enough compound. Now i actually didi find something that works on this paint...thanks...i will try again tomorrow....but some narrow edges top of the fenders when they are not even 1 inch thick...would it be better with rotary or da polisher? Also around emblems? Fingers again?

Are you doing everything by hand perhaps? Just wondering... :dunno:

My issue is with emblems. I have no idea how to do a good job between the letters and Inside the letters of the car's name emblem. Anyone has any trick to offer?

@Calendyr, Use cue tip? cotton buds.
Sometimes I use carved bamboo chop stick with microfiber towel to reach the tight area.

I ask myself a couple questions before polishing out hard to reach or tiny places.

Is this a show car? Is it worth the extra time to polish out that tiny area, will I or my customer even notice? Do my customers want to pay for something they will never notice?

On my own M3 I did not polish between the kidney grills because it's not a show car.

You can get as polish crazy as you'd like but make sure it's worth doing whether personally or economically before approaching it.

Interested to hear what others come up with.

When I bought my Yukon used; I removed the emblems, polished & protected underneath and then re-applied with 3M Super Strong Attachment Tape (http://www.autogeek.net/3m-03615.html).

It looked great for a few months, but is difficult to maintain.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.
