Mike, how do you prevent introducing holograms when buffing like this?

Re: How to buff in tight spaces using a rotary buffer
Not sure how Mike does it but for me it's all about.
Light polish to finish.
Finishing pad.
Low RPM's
Using just the right amount of product, too much it's harder to work down, too little causes dry buffing.
Light pressure using slower arm speeds.
Overlapping, good coverage.
Keeping the pad flat as possible.
Up and down , side to side movements just as using a DA.
I watch a lot of vids of people going mad with the buffer using a heavy compound and a wool pad plus not follow with a lesser cut polish and pad.
My steps might not be the perfect method but it's a method I've used for many years and works for me

Mike great job, the only problem I see is that each of those extensions attachments are like 10-12 bucks each. I only own 1.

I have two myself but need two more.
Wish they made one, 4-6 inches long.
One piece.

If you actually do this for a living or make a reasonable amount of money, what's $30 bucks for an investment that will improve the quality of most of your details? That is a small price to pay.

I dont spare any expense on my details or corrections, what so ever. I use the best I can get my hands on, that is why I am a member here on AG, but for a total investment of $56.00 plus shipping. I find this expensive. I would just like a alternative.
I will contact my friends father that owns a machine shop and see what he can come up with.
