Message	this might help you some. the tapers work good in tight spots. La-Z-Link These are the compounds you need. La-Z-Link start with the emery and a spiral buff then the tripoli, I do a good pass with a spiral buff, then rotate the piece and do another pass with the tripoli and a loose sewn buff. white rouge and a flannel buff. i finish with jewlers rouge and mothers aluminum polish. I'm not an expert, but am happy with the results.
