Default Detailing 997.2 GT3

Never really posted on here, but I have been lurking for a while. I am going to be detailing a 997.2 GT3 as well as a 997.2 GT3 RS in the next two weekends. I have one quick question, I am using a buffer and would like to know if I need to cover up the RS decals? I will make sure to post pictures of the cars when they are all done. Keep posting the awesome content, everyone here is in possession of a truly special car. Thanks.

I would tape them up, as it's not paint, its a sticker...

Well, you can tape up the outline but if you have the time it's always safer to tape the whole thing...

Please don't hack these cars up with a rotary. The paint is soft and easy to work with a D/A can easily get you a flawless finish without a ton of work unless you're working on a deeper scratch as a spot fix.

Tape the decals as stated.
