Buried in one one of Mike's videos here is a simple little $8 addition to a rotary that made my work today in tight spaces a lot more effective. It is the shaft extender accessory that puts the pad a bit farther away from the polisher so you can angle it and see things better when compounding. It really helped me on my radius surfaces I was doing today Thanks Mike!

That's pretty slick but what's that cute little fuzzy purple tickler you for stuck to the pad? http://www.detailcity.org/forums/images/smilies/rof.gif


Seriously, a pretty neat idea for getting into those tight areas!!
