Re: 6in Orbital to 15mm
If the curve is too deep, you simply attack it in 2 sections..
top of crease first then bottom of crease..
Hell I've corrected with a stalled 21mm..
The oscillation of the 21mm with the dragging action of you moving polisher across crease will correct..but still faster to attack by 2 parts vs my massage/scrub technique

Technique plays a factor.......... Who knew?
"Simple physics" aside........

There is no way around this if you have a machine with a pad that has to be flat to spin and a contoured car panel. You can rationalize it until you're blue in the face but it's not going to change that fact.
So.... A machine that does NOT stall on a curved panel has full contact?
Last I checked, just about every polisher/backing plate are pretty much flat to start. That is, not one of them can "cup" themselves to a panel that is curved.
This is where technique comes in.
A human can lighten up on the pressure, tilt the machine, or otherwise use common sense to make a machine work to their liking.
Simple physics.
