Hi all,

Do I have any options here other than tape off the stripes and hope nothing squeaks through?

Good tape is your best friend and only friend. Tape is so much easier than removing polish/wax from the edges of stripes its not even funny.

Not a bad choice. It's tough to find a good tape that works like it should but will not leave sticky residue on the car. A few detailing companies have their own tapes and it may be worth while to try them out along with the blue tape and see which one you prefer.

Well I always use the blue tape because that stick very good with your car's body and never harm your body or under the tape things. I think you should try that one. I hope you will get the satisfactory results. because I always get. Good luck
