All you can do is cut down on the amount of product you use.
What I do and teach is called,
Finger Painting
I'll place a small pile of the product I'm going to use on a panel next to where I'm going to work and then I'll "dab" the pad into it and grab just a little product and then start working it.
Splatter is kind of normal and especially when you use the tool in ROTARY mode.
Make sense?
Hang tight, I have another version of finger painting I use and show others.

Here's my article,
Do this on a much smaller scale - apply a THIN FILM of product to the area you're going to work when using the RUPES Nano.
Finger Painting Technique when using a Rotary Buffer
I call this Finger Painting - It's where you take your product spreader and spread out a thin layer of compound or polish to,
Normally I use the 10 @ 10 Technique to lay down a bead of product directly onto the paint to be buffed but for tight areas like you see below, you want to lubricate the paint and even the pad because buffing out thin panels like this or buffing into tight areas will put a lot of cutting power into play.
It's all about getting a film of compound or polish on the paint you're going to buff as this film of product not only contains the abrasives to abrade the paint but the film also lubricates the paint and especially the edges to help prevent burn-through.
You can also apply some compound or polish to the outer edges of the pad and work this product into the fibers, (or work it into the foam if using a foam pad), to moisten and lubricate the outside edge of the pad.
Like shown here,
Rotary Buffer Tip - Prime the side edges of foam cutting pads
Just be careful when turning the polisher on as centrifugal force will kick in and you can sling any excess product out of the pad and onto surrounding areas and even your eyes.

Here's a tip...
Take some tape and wrap it around the tool to hold the paddle on/off switch in the >on< position. Then you simply turn the SPEED DIAL on and off to turn the tool on or off. It's so much handier. Plus - the entire time you're using the tool you don't have to focus and concentrate on holding the paddle switch ON. Wait until you use this for a few hours and you'll see what I mean.
See how I've modded my Angry Nano and am using it in ROTARY mode?

You'll also see I've removed the plastic shroud. The shroud is good when using either of the orbital functions but for the most part, I only use the Nano for rotary work and I find the shroud gets in my way. So I removed it and placed some painter's tape around the aluminum housing. Then when I use it I'm simply --> careful.

Here's me using my angry nano in rotary mode on the INSIDE of a car. I was UBER careful not to get SPLATTER all over the electronics. I did this by using SMALL DABS of product plus a soft, GUSHY foam finishing pad.
Review: 303 Graphene Nano Spray Coating
Not sure why or how, but while our car was at the dealership all the Piano Plastic on the top of the center console, surrounding the shifter, was all scratched-up. (I have pictures)
Here's me with my Angry Nano doing the finishing step to the plastic.

Tried spreading on ‘1’ and it still wanted to splat. Part of the issue I know is using the bottles of polish that came in the kit I found it virtually impossible not to get too much product. I’ll try Mike’s method to see if it works.

I think RUPES has some videos on YT on how to prime them. Applying it the paint instead of the pad might help you as well.
