Sure are a lot of vehicles out there with the plastic, rubber-ized, vinyl-ized, exterior cladding and tall rocker panels. I speak of types like the Chevy Avalanche and the mid-90's Jeep Cherokee.
In your opinion would you prefer to (after a wash, clay, etc) dress the plastic, tape off then polish paint OR tape off plastic do paint and come back to plastic?
 
I'm no pro or anything, but I've always done the tyres/plastics last. I find if you use a foam applicator and some good quality tyre gel, it's easy to be very accurate on the external plastics and not get any on the paintwork.
 
hey wait a minute....
you've just clouded the issue with logic!
of course it'll be a mofo to tape freshly dressed trim
musta gotten a little carried away
been a long...uh...just about everything I guess
thanks everyone
