Masking tape

[super__dan]

I need to spray the sills on my mazda and so need to mask a decent straight edge that I don’t want to bleed, I’ve never had much luck with traditional masking tape so is there something better I can use. I also need to mask off bits of trim so I can give it a good polich right up to the window rubbers etc without worrying about it straining.

Any suggestions of what and where to get it from?

I believe Nick uses this stuff to mask up rubbers e.t.c whilst polishing. Its made by 3M so it assume it to be good. http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/accessories/3m-3434-masking-tape/prod_79.html

i used to use blue 3m tape on plastic trims etc, strip off as much as you can dan, makes for a better job;)
