I tape off emblems, plastic/rubber trim and headlights/taillights. I know some tape off more, but I found that this works for me.

Taping is a time consuming process but it saves time in the end

Re: If You're Not Taping, Then What?
I tape a lot... basically everything when doing my best work. I go without sometimes but If I really want to do teh job right I tape. I know others can do the job right without taping but for me it's more fun to not have to worry about that when I am trying to perfect everything with a machine polish. I probably take longer than anybody to tape off a car but I am learning to get faster. Depending on what wax or sealant I am using I might leave the tape on to the last step or take it off after the finishing polish.

Re: If You're Not Taping, Then What?
I only tape plastic/rubber areas. I did tape everything before but it's too time consuming. I just try to be careful.
If you're detailing for money, you should probably tape things up. I only do my own cars so I can always go back later if I miss a spot.

Re: If You're Not Taping, Then What?
Thanks for the feedback, everyone. I'm going to have to go with just rubber and plastic because I just don't have the patience to do too much taping. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't making a big mistake. If I was getting paid doing another person's car I suppose I might feel different.

My personal cars or customer cars, everything is taped off. If you practice lazy you will work lazy.

What all do you tape? Do you have any examples?
