Switched from hand sanding to a dual action polisher for clear coat blending and won't go back

I spent years trying to feather edges by hand until a guy at a trade show in Chicago showed me his 3M polisher setup. Anyone have a different method for those tricky quarter panel repairs?

Man, I get it. My arms used to be dead after a full day of trying to blend by hand. That old-school block sanding on a curved door edge was the worst, always left a visible line. Seeing that 3M demo must have been a game changer. I still keep a hand block for super tight spots, but the polisher saves so much time and grief.

Honestly, that hand control is hard to beat for a perfect blend line. The machine can get away from you on a sharp body curve.
