Is it really necessary to mask trim, glass, and so forth when using a PC? I have not bought one yet, so I have no personal experience holding one.

i think it depends on the product you are using. if a certain product stains trim, then you should mask off the trim before polishing. if the product does not have any adverse affects to trim (plastic, metal,etc) then you should be fine not masking it off.

Have a nice day
50 cents of worth tape, and 15 minutes of prep time, in my eyes, is always better than an hours worth of labor

lately ive begun masking off anything that i dont want product on . it is worth it in my opinion. im able to get product on the car without getting any on trim . i spend less time masking than i used to spend cleaning and dressing trim that i got stuff on . i like the blue painters tape
back in buisness baby
Blue painter`s tape is my good friend too lately. What is everybody using, 2", 1",...??

I usually mask off when I do a car as well. Its worth it in the long run.
Quick question for you guys, can I put a thin strip of the painters tape over a pinstripe running down the side of the car on the paint to protect that from damage when buffing?
Are they painted stripes or tape stripes?Originally posted by breakneckvtec

On painted stripes this should not be a problem, on tape stripes I think it might not be such a good idea.
