PC question....

Okay... I'm seriously going to make the jump to a Random Orbital Buffer... most likely the "Ultimate Detailing Machine" Porter Cable from Classic Motoring Accessories... and my 94 Ranger is going to be my guinnea pig!



That being said, and coming from a complete lack of knowledge, how do all of you who use PCs work in those tight areas on vehicles? Do you PC the large areas and work the tiny, cramped areas by hand?



I know our Lancer and Ranger would be easy to work on; they both have large, flat panels, but I've seen cars that seem to be a PC nightmare. My friend's Toyota Matrix, for example... that thing has so many curves, holes and crevases I don't see how a PC could possibly get to some of it.



Maybe a dumb question, but can anyone help me out? BTW... I did a search but couldn't come up with anything regarding this question... :D
 
Sometimes you need to tape off emblams and weatherstripping around sun roofs. Use the blue masking tape and do not press down hard to seal the tape just very light to medium pressure. Lighten the pressure on the PC around curves and avoid molding. Be careful around pinstripping. Use hand polishing in confined areas. Basically just be careful. Remember most polishes stain trim and weatherstripping. Two concerns are you do not want to tear your foam pad and you do not want to damage your molding.



Good luck
