Polishing the Hollow Grind

I recently aquired some hollow ground blade blanks that need finishing. I would like to know what is the best and easiest way to finish them? I 've heard that one can use a thick piece of leather as the backing to the paper because it will conform to the shape of the grind.Is there a quick and easy way with a buffing wheel? I have only finished flat ground blades in the past, all by hand.

Thanks to anyone who replies

You can use a rectangular or square eraser like found in art stores. They come in soft and hard versions. It will conform to the hollow grind.
Taping paper to a smooth contact wheel the same dismeter is the best way I've found.
