Pinstripes

I have a 2003 Honda Accord and was wondering what, if any, effect claying and polishing would have on the pinstripes it has. Should I tape them off when applying product or can I let them go, assuming I'm not compounding? Also what effect would more aggresive polish have on them?

Claying won't bother them.I would not use a real heavy polish though to much heat.

Re: Pinstripes

if they are painted on you "could" go over them lightly, but skipping them is far more avisable. If they are tape version, then stay away as a ROB or ROTARY could easily pull them up.
