What do you do when the polisher can't reach it?

[VanCityWW]

I'd like to hear what everyone does when trying to polish around emblems and in areas the polisher can't access - feel free to direct me to other threads if this has been covered - thanks

I use a 4in. pad for tight areas.

Anything that the 4in. can't access, I do by hand with either a foam applicator pad, or a MF towel, depending on the situation.

If I can get it with a foam pad, I'll use that. But normally the areas can be small so I'll use q-tips, too.

is it worth it to use the same pads/compounds and just apply by hand?

Same compounds would probably work.

Not the same pads as a DA though - use hand foam applicator pads.

I had my emblems removed

Are you trying to do paint correction around the emblem area? If so, it is probably easier to remove the emblems.

Yeah, I know...but the mini polisher actually has a functional pad with a bit of cut. I use it with D300 or M205 (I tossed the bottle of scratch remover)

I use my DA. put it on 1 get the edge of the pad in the emblem as much as possible to get product in there and polish what I can with the machine. Then when I wipe after polishing I get my MFT into the crevice and I use a detailing stick, just a plastic thin stick.
This works fine but there not perfect but I'm not getting paid to perfect emblems.
After waxing they look great and I've never had a complaint.

That looks interesting! Never seen that before.

So the mini polisher is battery powered? Does it actually have any correcting ability? How long do the batteries last?
