    A Little trick I learned was to get a small piece of sponge in a
    small tin can like a mint tin or something like it and cut a hole in
    the top of it in the shape of an ellipse. Soak the sponge with oil of
    wintergreen be careful not to splatter it into your eyes so you might
    want to wear eye protection. 

    Get a small flex shaft sized soft bristle disc brush mounted on a
    mandrel (Rio Grande 338-464 you can look it up in the back of the
    catalog by item number). Spin the bristles on the soaked sponge and
    pick up some of the oil and the pick up some of you polishing
    compound up and polish the hard to get areas. I have had much
    success with this method and have used it with all compounds from
    bobbing to rouge. Good Luck!
