Does anyone have any suggestions on using a DA on what I would call non-flat surfaces? My car has rounded fenders and I don't get much pad contact on them with the DA due to the curvature of the panel.

Re: Using the DA on non-flat surfaces
Just take it slow and "roll" the pad over the edge making contact with what you can of the pad. You may just need to make an extra few passes, but it should work nonetheless. That's how I do it on my Neon that has rounded fenders.

Re: Using the DA on non-flat surfaces
Yes, this is the way to go. Unless you're driving a Scion xB (first gen) you're going to have some rounded areas on almost any car. As stated above, "rolling" the tool with the contours of the panels will allow you to effectively buff on them. Just pay attention to compound curves and how the pad is actually sitting on the panel. Each car poses a unique set of curves, but they can all be dealt with.Originally posted by roushstage2 View PostMichael Stoops
