Nice write up. I have used those 4inch spot buffs many times, life savers for tight spots.

Good Advice! Sometimes I even tape an edge that's hard not to hit.

Re: Best Practice - Avoid buffing on top of body lines and edges
Been wanting to pick up some of the 4" pads and backing plate - just got to get my funds built back up.

Re: Best Practice - Avoid buffing on top of body lines and edges
Maybe I'm a bit late to the party, but how do you guys buff body lines and odd panel contours? I tried polishing a friends Nissan Hardbody pickup with my PC, but it has a sunken channel right through the waistline that I couldn't get even w/ a 4" pad. Any tips for dealing with this and other areas where a PC can't reach?

I usually always go back around a vehicle with my product and an applicator of choice and hit the spots by hand that I couldn't get by machine.
There's just some things that the machine can't do for you.

Re: Best Practice - Avoid buffing on top of body lines and edges
So you can make those hard-to-reach spots match the machine-polished portions of the car, or does it sometimes leave an obvious difference between the machine and hand-polished areas? Also, what applicator do you recommend for this? I have some LC CCS hand pads on the way but if there's something better, I'd love to try it out. Thanks!

That's a good point and that's why it's important to know how to properly apply a hand-applied compound or paint cleaner.
