??? How to polish under door handles

[Largebore]

Anyone have the secret to polishing under the door handles? My pads obviously do not fit under the handle.

These work good with a bit of elbow grease:
CCS Euro Foam Hand Polish Applicators - Hand polish, hand detail, foam applicators, CCS foam pads, polishing pad (http://www.autogeek.net/ccs-foam-hand-applicators.html)

Yeah, hand pad and M105 or UC.

M105 by hand works well for me. :xyxthumbs:

i have a couple of these i got from AG a few years ago. the dark side is soft, the yellow side is firm. depending how bad they are and what kind of paint, i will use optimum spray polish or compound with the yellow side...or poli-seal...wipe, then finish with poli-seal on the dark side and wipe...or wipe with IPA and apply a couple layers of 2.0 which DEFINITELY helps resist those silly scratches.

magic eraser bars! They're the equivalent of 3600-3800 grit so they'll do quick work of all those key scratches under there if the m105 doesn't provide enough umph for you.

do you have a source for this info? i ask because i have seen various claims of all sorts of info like this yet nobody seems to have concrete info regarding their claim. not busting on you, just (finally) asking someone.

cheap, clean microfiber towel and m105 is what I use in my shop. I always compound under the door handles, using this method, on an exterior or full detail. It's one of the first things that my customers notice, especially on a white or lighter color vehicle. You can buy fancy finger pads and all that mumbo jumbo, but why waste money. I know some guys cut up retired foam polishing pads and use them for this type of thing. Old cut up pads work well for applying dressing as well.
