Guide to taping off a car
Guide to taping off a car
I was wondering if anyone had a guide that specifically explains how to tape off a car. Including, what to tape off, where, etc..
I've only detailed my car so far, and I have to admit my taping job was horrible, and I left product in the crevices.
If anyone has a thread or can post a how to I would appreciate it.

I never seen an actual guide but just think about it. Tape off what can be stained, damaged, scuffed, or you just don't want to polish. Trim, hood scoops, sharp edges, lights, grills, ect.

He already said it.. but furthermore.. basically everything besides the paint surface you will be buffing. Black trim especially, don't want to dull it out. Taping isn't just to protect your buffing, it can also prolong the life of your pads.. catching a snag piece of plastic can tear your pad and greatly diminish its life.

Never knew he had video lessons for sale, but at $14.99.. I'll just stick with my own trial and error process. Thanks for the tips guys, keep them coming if you have additional instruction.

Oh man... many of those videos were free to view a year or two ago. They are some good videos and watching them when I first started help to teach me a lot. I pretty much learned most of my techniques watching the free videos. Too bad we have to pay for them now but I do understand the business.
