Default Taping Carlos Style

Well I've finaly managed to get these two videos up. These videos are meant to show how I tape vehicles emblems, the tape I use is the 3M Green tape and it works very well.

Some detailers tape vehicles off some don't, it comes down to personal preference. I personaly enjoy taping the vehicle off for three reasons, one and most important to me is to protect edges and second to protect emblems and lastly the clean up is faster.

Now taping does take time but with practice you'll be able to tape an entire vehicle in mere minutes. The more you practice the better you get.

The last thing to note is that it's important to know what parts to tape off, you don't need to tape the entire vehicle just some parts, I'll post more videos of what and how I tape of and why but hope these two videos help.

Well here you go Part 1:

Part 2:

Hope you find the videos helpfull and feel free to ask question, I welcome questions

I try but you know what my problem is that I can keep on when it comes to detailing, customer love it but I think I overwell them some times...I mean I go over with them how to wash it, how to dry it, where the tough spots were on the vehicles, what I did to remove the imperfections tips for maintainig it..and on..and on...and on..lol. Every time I deliver a vehicle the owner and I spend at least 30 to an hour chating about the vehicle and any questions the customer may have...I enjoy the delivery stage

When I saw the title of this thread I really didn't think much of it. But I found it really helpful. I'm one of those people that usually doesn't tape cars. But I'm wanting to start doing it. And this really helps, thanks NICA...

nice, thanks for the video, whats the difference btw the 3m green tape and the blue tape?

I have only seen people using the blue tape to cover up the hood for long drive to car shows.
