A rubber mud flap. So I turned around and went back to our shop and found a old one took it home cut it to the size I wanted and wraped a piece of sand paper around it and went to town. worked great! Got a nice smooth rounded service.

BINGO! I have bought various trick commercial doo-dads over the years but when it come to doing the work, I usually just make something up using what I have lying around. For expansive compound curves on the top and sides of my king cab '53 Chev pickup, I plan on using a 3' long piece of 1/8" plywood w/36 grit glued on to get a uniform global shape B4 I start localized finishing. This will get rid of the long waves.
