I keep both 1" and 1.5"
I use the wider one for emblems, and body side molding.
Around the windows on the doors if I'm using compound. Keeps the dust off the rubber seals.
Also, use the blue tape ideally. It has less adhesive transfer than the green masking tape

I like the blue painters tape. I like the 1" and the 1.5". I've been using the 1.5" lately thoguh because it was free and I can cover 90% of the stuff with one strip of it.
when you tape, how do you polish the surface that is underneath the tape (ridges and along seems)?
This is a great question also. If you are using a rotary, a lot of detailers tape off the seams and high spots because that is where you can get burn through. Do you go back over these areas by hand?
It seems that 1" and 1.5" are the most common sizes used, but I can also see the advantages to having more sized than that for different needs.
