Do pollish and stripes go?
My paintwork is looking a little tired and in need of a decent pollish, but I have stripes running right over the car from bonnet to boot. Can the pollish go on the stripe? Or should I try to edge around it? Any ideas on best policy would be most welcome!!

Do not apply polish to stripes..... You could scratch them.

get some masking take, and mask about 1mm over the edge of the stripe (paintwork side) and then polish away

the same goes afor black trim too. the blue stuff is the best if not Detailing tape

hope this helps
