Class C - Reach the overcab cap to deoxidize and wax

OK, so this may not be revolutionary, but it sure works for me. No scaffolding required. Work from the third or fourth step of your ladder from the front.
Harbor freight random orbital, 2" PVC and a Christmas tree on/off switch.
Heat the PVC and push the buffer handle inside. The PVC holds the buffer switch on. Run the cord inside the pipe, plug it into the Christmas tree switch that you use to turn it on once it's resting against the surface. Put your Mcguires, etc on the buffer pad and smear it on the surface. Simple

Yeah...improvise! Thanks! I might try this but sure need to secure that orbital real good or get a new ornament on the hood!

Hope someone else would chime in with other ways to do this....

Roadster, good point. If you notice in pic 1 there are two folded moving blankets protecting the hood. Also, if you "fit" the handle into the heated PVC, it is a tight fit. Plus, the cord runs down the center of the PVC. I had no concerns that it was going to fall out.
