What do you do to avoid buffer hop on doors, fenders, etc.

I keep getting buffer hop on doors and fenders. What technique do you use to perfectly polish a door, especially at the lowest areas?
 
A porter cable ;). I always keep it around for the low visibility areas that are hard to get at with a rotary.
 
Keep your pad clean, and well lubricated. You get buffer hop from either the pad being dry or being gummed up with spent polish.
 
It probably doesn't help that I am trying to do this with an 8 inch pad :). Thank you for the replies, if I see any holograms tomorrow I'll retry with your advice.
 
I use 7.5" curved pads on a 6" backing plate, and 4" flat pads on a 3" backing plate with my rotary :)



Smaller is usually easier to control, and the edges are spinning slower so it's less dangerous.
