3M Precision Masking Tape is made specifically to help you deliver sharp, clean and precise lines. While using any polish, glaze, sealant or wax you risk permanently staining the trim if you are not careful. Simply put the tape around any area you want to protect and you can detail with confidence and know your trim is protected. The ultra thin smooth paper backing that this masking tape is made of, makes this tape ideal for protecting paint, trim, emblems, lights, adjacent panels and more when using a buffer. Another great feature of this tape is that it feels "stretchy". This stretch allows you to easily cover corners and edges that need protecting all around the car with clean and smooth lines (i.e. headlights, trim, grill pieces, etc.). If you are looking for a great masking tape to help you protected trim pieces when polishing, the 3M Precision Masking Tape is a great choice!
