I got my PC last friday and all of my products are arriving tomorrow. So I have a few questions before I get into it Saturday.

1) Where do I put down tape? I know over badges and trim. What about over tail and head lights? Do I need to use tape to mark off each work area or is this done in how-to videos just to show a before and after?

2) Should I use the handle or not? Most of the how-to vids I've watched show no handle. Any thoughts?

Thanks.

You can put tape over the headlight and taillights, no damage will be done if you don't but it will make cleanup a little easier.

Hold the machine with and without the handle, some find it more comfortable with and some without. Its just personal preference

Tape around all the black trim along the top of the doors and around the softop around the trunk, do the antenna, sidemarkers. I routinely pc my headlights so taping them doesn't make sense. Remove the windshield nozzles so you have a cleaner sweep of the hood.

Problems come up when your backing plate jumps up into something or you catch a pad edge so be aware of your machine control.

I don't use a handle so my hand rests on the back of the machine right behind the pad.

Thanks for the tips.

How do I remove the washer fluid nozzles?

Underneath the hood, pull the water hoses from the nozzles, then depress the clips.



Just remembered a few more tape areas...
along the softtop bottom edge...sometimes your pad will touch these areas and then you will have a softtop cleaning issue to deal with.
