Taping Might Be Necessary at Times

[Beemerboy]

I was working on a PT Cruiser yesterday, while using the rotary I hit the plastic coated chrome trim and burned the plastic in a small area. I've never had that happen, so it took me by surprise.

I was able to get the burned part off but you could still see the area. I pointed it out to the customer and offered to get a replacement but he was cool with it.

I rarely tape anything off I may have to rethink that.

Dave the same thing happened to me...luckily it was on my own car. My old Murano used to have the black plastic trim along the bottom of the door. I was using my rotary during a spring day that had alot of pollen and I sneezed three times in a row and hit the plastic with my rotary in two spots and burned the plastic. I tape more often when I am doing cuctomer cars during full details.

I do at times but for whatever reason I didn't give this trim any thought. Glad that I caught it in time, replacement of that one piece would have been cheap enough, just a lesson well learned
