Ok, all this talk about gear, supplies, technique, but absolutely no mention of how to tape off stuff. I tried taping off my truck tonight and it was a pain. I used the 2" 3m blue tape but I noticed they changed something about this tape. The outside is slicker and waxy. The sticky side has more of a tack feeling and really gummed up my paint any time in came in contact with it. It was actually a hassle to remove in some areas. So obviously the hard part were all the cures that every vehicle has. No matter how hard I tried I could never get a proper wrap around. Now I know Mike has a TON of videos and how-to's, I think this would be a good one to add as I've heard just about every detailer say to tape off important areas of the vehicle, but noone has written anything on it.
 
Its one of those things that comes to you after you have done it a few times. I don't know whats up with your tape so I can't help you there other then I use the green automotive 18mm 3M tape.
