if an emblem is taped off well with a couple of layers of tape how close can most of you get to it with a pc (6.5" pads) without damaging it?



or is the damage limited to tearing up the pad?



i ask as i have a very small area next to emblem on nose of car.



i don't want to damage it as a re-install is likely to cause more problems than its worth.



thanx
 
thanx a lot guys i appreciate it.

the experience here is absolutely great for noobs like myself.





i was told to tape them off good before doing car supposedly when only using abressive polishs but then i need to get within 1/4" and not being familiar with a pc i wondered if that is even possible
 
What the others have said. Just watch it when going over plated plastic emblems. I've worn the plating off the XJS's emblems by polishing them too often :o (but it took almost twenty years of it).

Yeah, once you get accustomed to the PC you'll be amazed how close you can come to stuff. But that 1/4" is about as close as is practical. The polish will "migrate" a little from the area really getting "worked", so while it's back the 1/4" or so from the emblem, it doesn't get worked the way it does under the pad. Sorry, that's not worded very well...
