Hey Cujo,
Yes, I use the Blue Painters safe release tape. But that is because I mostly use the rotary.

Ive never messed with a compound/polish/wax that I couldnt get off trim with nothing more than some APC.

Yep. I ALWAYS use it when using a rotary. Sometimes even with the PC D.A. Spending the extra 5-10 minutes to put the tape on really helps the job go easier and with more piece of mind.

I also use the blue tape. I think it is worth the very few minutes it takes to put on in order to save either 1) clean up time later (when I`m tired and lazy) 2) to protect the trim piece. I use the wide roll more than the narrow. I find that I can run a strip up both sides of the trim and just pinch the edges together to cover it. It`s especially useful on those water nozzles on hoods. I hate scraping wax residue out of those.

Yes, but with a rotary and possibly a PC at higher speeds, some trim sometimes wants to come off the car. At best, it damages pads, at worst, it is shrapnel.:pOriginally posted by Tassadar

Not to mention you can severly damage the trim if you hit it with a compound spinning at even 1500 rpms!

I hate Rotary spallater I cover everything Tires,Windshield Whipers, All molding Bumbers Lights. Makes easier removal later instead of going around and gettin the small specs off.

One of the biggest reasons i use notron`s liquid abrasives. Pull out the hose and spray it off. Whala! it`s all gone! I don`t care about splater at all anymore. I have a feeling if i went back to using some regular compounds I`d make a bigger mess than anyone on the board ever has.Originally posted by Fr0zen

How does that work? The easy wash off that is. Is it not kind of a hassle to go off and wash the car again?
Pardon my ignorance, just asking questions. I have not messed with a PC, cyclo, or rotary yet.
