I do the very tight area`s by hand. There`s lots of painted surface on my Jeep SRT8 that are 0.5-1inch wide (like the grill, behind the door handles, the door jambs, lower bumper lip, etc). I`ve been strongly considering getting the Rupes Nano for these area`s but they also look fine done by hand (M101 followed by M205 by hand). Sometimes I`ll cheat and use my PC with a 3inch pad and just buff with one edge (half) of the pad, very carfully. It acutally cuts very well the hard part is all the sharp edges near these narrow surfaces that need to be taped off. I also noticed my paint was significantly thinner in these area`s and under the hood...
IMO you`re displaying exactly the right mindset. Just be a little, uhm...careful...regarding "learning from everyone". Even me Lots of, uhm..."advice" out there these days and some of what you "learn" (scarequotes intentional) will be "what you shouldn`t have tried after all"!
Mary B- Yeah, if you don`t pick them up you don`t have to drop them
bennylava - how did that wax work out for you? Not sure if you posted about it elsewhere, but I haven`t seen it.
