I just do not like holding the polisher over my shoulder. If I was doing it for money, I would get some car lifts.

Thanks for the comments, you guys saved me a hundred bucks. I think I'll just suck it up and keep laying on the floor. This is the position I'm talking about btw...
Maybe I'll buy a rubber mat to lay down when I need to get in that position.
Yoga mats are awesome.

Ray, I can't comment on the product you mentioned specifically but I've used a ton of creapers over my days turning wrenches I would recommend the big wheel version of "The Bone" creaper. It's light weight and will keep your body centered the big wheels will roll over most anything. It's quite low. There are several models but the big wheel version is worth a look. It's not cheap but worth having.
This old guy also prefers to do a geat deal of the lower panels seated. I put the car on jack stands and use a seat scooter with a back. It really helps you to be able to control the seat and is much more comfortable. It has a piston and is adjustable to desired height. The seat I'm posting is sold everywhere from Snap On to Craftsman and they are the same seat except one is red and one is black. I have one of each, the Craftsman is 15 years old and runninng strong. They can be had as low as $70 up to $150, remember I've seen the same seat sold under 4 different labels.
Ray, life is too short to lay on the ground, it's a cumulative effect and it's hard on the bones. I know I'm not saving you money here but don't find yourself where I am somewhere down the road. These are an investment in your health that will make the job easier.

Anyone ever try this creeper before?
Amazon.com: ATD Tools 81049 Heavy-Duty 3-in-1 Low Profile Z Creeper: Automotive
I always find myself awkwardly crawling around the floor to polish the lower panels and I'm hoping something like this will make it easier.
Thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks!
I have one similar to that, but it's just a 2-in-1 (flat and high seat). I like mine. Now seeing this one, I wish mine had the back support on the low seat setting.
