Along with many of us, I have enjoyed using the Bealle Buffing System over the years.
I was wondering if any of you have found a source for a small pad that would buff as well on the inside of a small box, say 2"-3" in diameter. (Beale bowl buffs do not work well on the inside box bottoms.) The recommended Pad would be attached to a drill or a Dremel-like tool. Any recommendations or thoughts would be appreciated.

I got some microfiber pads with hook and loop - 3" dia. a while back. I think they came in a sample pack from Vince's. They'd probably do what you're talking about, but I've never used them.
 
For buffing with a regular hook and loop drill set up, a friend turned me on to these fuzzy pads from Surbuf. I think they are available from other sources as well. They would not get the inside sides of a box but could do the bottom. https://www.surbuf.com/Surbuf-R-Series-Applicator-And-Buffing-Pads.asp (currently on sale for half off)

I have also used the mushroom shaped cotton buffs, but didn't find them to work very well. Now that I think about it, the round ones don't work well for me, either. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Or maybe it's just the small contact surface they inherently have.
