Looking for 3M 3434(light blue) tape

[dsms]

Cant find this tape anywhere except in the UK, its the low adhesive light blue kind. Anyone know where I can get some in the US or a similar low adhesive tape?

The 3M painter's tape leaves less glue residue and removes easily.

This specific tape, from what I'm told leaves no residue behind and is meant for taping auto paint. Most UK detailers use this kind. I use 3M blue tape now and its labled lower adhesive but its not great for use on paint. I just dont like tape residue all over the car after polishing.

3M makes a green tape that IIRC is intended for auto use. I've had great luck with it, and they make a handy 1/4" thick type for small trim and pinstripes.
