Paint correction in small "curvy" areas?

[Kinalyx]

What do you used? I have a few spots on my car that my PC cant really get to very well. Is there an effective way to do it by hand, or is there something else i can do?

My spoiler and the pillars by the windshield that go up and over the windows are by far the hardest to get done.

Did you switch to a smaller backing plate for the PC? I believe they have a 3"er now. If not, try the Griots 3" DA and pads.

You have several options. Either get a smaller bp and use smaller pads, or take your pad and apply a small amount of polish to it and do it by hand or put the polish on a mf and do it by hand (that is a great method for under door handles for instance). Just make sure you work it enough so it breaks down.

I just recently read a write up by AG Nick (I think) who used the hand held buffing pads on his Aunt's car to work small areas and under the door handles. I believe this is the link: CCS Euro Foam Hand Polish Applicators - Hand polish, hand detail, foam applicators, CCS foam pads, polishing pad

I sometimes use larger pads and work the edges

That is pretty much what I do, I don't always want to take the time to switch BP's.

i use megs 3" micro pads and they work great in small tight areas.

:iagree: I learned to edge using a rotary. 25+ years ago, that was really your only option
