I read the article from Mike on DA polishing up to raised edges on car panels that have them:

Mike also describes using 3M blue vinyl tape to protect edges. With your average DA polishing, I'm not sure I can precisely polish up to the edge on both sides, but not over an edge.
The tape is supposedly for only very sharp creases. How many people actually tape edges and creases? Or are most experienced people that good to polish near an edge but not over it
with say a 5.5" inch pad.........
