CNC buffing / polishing

I was looking at the motions I go through when on the buffing wheel
when buffing out machine marks on my work piece. Got me to thinking
about automating the motions (moving the piece and/or wheel to make
the wheel flow along certain paths of the contours)... CNC
buffing/polishing! Is there anything out there already in existance
that does something like this? The parts I make are very contoured so
every ridge and velly need attention to it.

Im trying to cut down on my time invested in finishing out the part.
I take fully contoured parts with pretty decent machine marks in them
down to a smooth, mark-free finish.

ideally would be a 5-axis setup.. wouldnt have to be too ridged.

Any ideas?
Thanks-
Colin
