Any suggestions on what tape to use for masking for use on car paint?
I have some of the cream masking tape from poundland but my dad said it can peel the paint of the car as it won't be what's called low tack?
Google is no use as there doesn't seem to a clear answer anywhere.

Would it be best to just buy blue painters tape or something? its expensive when I only need a small amount and will never use it again...

any of those in the links will be fine. If you have some tar and glue remover then you can use the cheap stuff to remove any residue left over. The blue 3m and green stuff is made for detailing as it wont lift when polishing etc

Mainly just worried about paint coming off, residue isn't going to be an issue as it will be on the car for like one hour tops
