Re: Rotary Usage
Question about taping, do you guys tape the around the gas cap cover. If so, how do end up polishing it, and other tight spots/narrow areas?

Personally I don't tape that area. For small tight areas I either do it by hand or use a 3inch backing plate and 3 or 4 inch pad.

Re: Rotary Usage
I'm too lazy to read this whole thread, just wondering what causes the pad to jump/skip... happens to me sometimes and 99% of that sometimes it's on vertical surfaces... too much product??

Could be that you're over extending your reach so try bringing it in, use a step stool to gain some height and also buff with the pad at a slight angle.

It's not the reach, like I said it happens rarely and on vertical surfaces, don't need any more height... |

Re: Rotary Usage
I'm a little confused then. You're supposed to tape up the edges cause the paint is thin in those places, but the gas cover edges do not count?  |

Re: Rotary Usage
I think someone needs to start a "Pics of taping before polishing" thread... it would be interesting to see what everyone does/doesn't tape up and how... maybe it's just late and I'm thinking of weird things good night and good info here
