Question Areas PC won't reach

I will be trying out the PC + SMR soon when the weather warms up and I have a couple questions. How do you guys handle the areas much smaller than the 6" pad? Like areas around the taillights, headlights and windshield pillars? I would imagine you just do these areas by hand? What's the procedure there, just put on a light smear with a cotton applicator and then buff with a MF cloth?

I was wondering the same thing. On my civic i have a spoiler in the rear... just enough to leave about a 4 inch strip that the pc can't get under.. i missed on the SMR on it and it looks pretty bad. I'm thinking of just working really hard and doing that part by hand.

One option is to hand polish.

Another is to tape it off and go over it, depending on the area. Make sure the sharp edges are all taped off . . .

What kind of tape would be used? I'm guessing the regular garden-variety masking tape would get shredded by the PC.
