Hello all, I've been reading the site for a while and finally broke down and ordered a PC and the Optimum polish kit with CCS pads. I've always liked cleaning and working on vehicles, but all by hand so far. Anyway, with Mothers Day coming up, I am going to make my Mom's Suburban my first project with the PC and I've got a couple questions. It's a 2001 Suburban that has probably only been waxed 4-5 times.
The Suburban has decal pinstripes. I've done some searching in the forum and found recommendations to tape them off. I'm assuming that I would want to use some 1/2" masking tape and then go back over that area by hand after I'm done with the machine, correct?
Second, does anyone have any tips for small areas, like around the A-pillars and door handles? I have watched the videos on the AG site and found them very helpful, but they were all on big expanses of metal.
Thanks for the help guys, love the site!
