Default Looking for small buffer, 4" or less - anyone?

Hi guys,

I'm looking to find a small buffer to be able to buff out my bike without having to tear the whole thing apart and remove all the body panels. Some aren't that hard, but the rear fender and tanks are a pain in the butt. Does anyone know of a very small buffer out there? The smallest I've seen is 6", and the Dremel polishing wheels are too harsh for paint, not to mention too small. Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Bill

I have a 3.5 inch air buffer. I use 3M "Hook-It" pads and it works well. Unless your looking for electric!

Check this site http://www.eastwoodco.com/
I use to buy polishing compounds and buffer wheels from them.
