Title: Christmas lights on my car
Review: I got this to tape on my Christmas lights to my car and it worked really well. I just took the lights off after 2-3 weeks of then stuck to my car through rain and snow. They are sticky enough to keep my lights attached, yet gentle enough to not damage my paint in my car after weeks of it being on

Title: Worth it
Review: If you’ve ever used cheap masking tape on a cars plastic/rubber trim you know it leaves residue and can damage //taint the look of what it was stuck to. This comes off cleanly 99% of the time and doesn’t soak up water and turn to mush when wet sanding.You get what you pay for, and if you’re taping off your cars trim to polish it you’re definitely the type of person who would be bothered by tape stains.One roll is enough to thuroughly tape off most cars with quite a bit left over, but it is smaller than the blue rolls that are cheaper. The blue stuffs not bad either just don’t use the cheap bulk white stuff they sell in 10 packs for $20.. you’ll end up spending a lot of time fixing your trim!

Title: Some of the best tape on the market!
Review: I bought this tape specifically to use when restoring old cloudy headlights on cars. Taping the hood, bumper, and fender around the headlight with this tape is no problem at all. The adhesive holds great, the tape can stretch a surprising amount around curves and edges, and is surprisingly resistant to abrasion. It removes fairly easily without tearing and does not leave any sort of residue to cleanup. It also holds up to being wet. I put two layers in spots where I know I couldn’t avoid hitting with sandpaper and not once have I damaged any paint using this tape. 100% worth the high price and I absolutely recommend it!

Title: Pretty good tape
Review: I purchased this tape because it said it was good around curves. I used it to place around various bathroom accessories which we had just replaced so that we could “touch up” paint. It worked pretty well. I really does not stretch, however it was pretty easy to place around the fixtures and protect them while I touched up the areas that needed it. What I really liked was how easy it was to remove the tape when I finished. Overall, I would say that it did a good job. If you need tape for small areas: i.e. around towel bars, around door handles, this tape will do the job. Because it’s only .7 inches in width, it is easy to maneuver. Was it 100%, no, but nothing really is. It did a great job and I was very satisfied.

Review: I got onto these from a DIY creator on YouTube and saw the insanely crisp lines she was getting on her pieces so I decided to give it a go. Made for auto painting but works great for all I’ve used it on. I always stick it down really hard and then paint over the edge with the paint colour below it before painting the top colour, as this ensures that any bleeding that occurs will be the base paint colour and therefore doesn’t affect the top paint colour at all. But if just painting 1 colour like a wall for example, I’ve still found the tape to be really good if it’s stuck down well and gently removed when still wet.
