OK, now what do I do with these areas? I've read that you shouldn't tip the PC up because it's very hard on the pads, but what do I do with areas like these:

The ridge along the lower body



The curved area beneath my grille - not the lower grille, the upper grille... it's a bad picture - I really mean the curved ends of the area beneath the grille - again with keeping the PC flat in those areas...


The sides of my hood scoop...

 

And these:

These two small areas on the door frame - I assume open the door and get each of them...



This area above the rear lens - it's too small for the pad not to contact the lens... or do I polish and wax the lens too? Or just tape the h3ll out of it?



I'm just waiting for a good day so I can wash, polish and seal it.

And a HUGE thanks to Patrick at Exceldetail.com for all your help and the pads!

 

You still will have to do some areas by hand... this isn't a total replacement product.

Further, to avoid potential backing plate induced problems, always keep the PC flat on the paint... it's the backing plate that you should be more worried about verus warping or ripping a pad...

Guess I figured as much. Couldn't figure out how it might go any other way with some cars like my wife's Subaru with all the letters and recesses on the rear. This will go a long way to making the large areas of my truck look good. Oh yeah, and my wife's car too
