I'm polishing some parts on my car and had a questions on how you guys sand parts that are difficult to get reach. I normally use a flap or nylon wheel but some parts such as on brackets the bends are too tight to get the wheels in. I tried sanding by hand but even that is really difficult on some of the brackets.

chances are, if you actually cant get it by hand, you're not going to see it anyways... the only thing I used that made it faster was one of those small grinding stone attachments on a dremel. then once I got it relatively smooth, id do the rest by hand.

I'll take some pics and post them up after work. I've done the 3000 pipe, the stock AFM, the Apexi air filter adapter, igniter and some other pieces. I want to do the intake manifold but I want to wait until I can find another one so I can polish it and keep my car running because it's my daily driver.
