3M 3434 Masking Tape Detailing-Safe Blue Tape

Trusted by pros, 3M 3434 Masking Tape is the detailing-safe blue tape you can rely on for polishing and light paint prep. It adheres securely to plastics, rubber and painted surfaces, protecting trims and edges while you compound or machine polish. The flexible backing follows curves and tight contours, while the waterborne/solvent-resistant adhesive stands up to APCs, panel wipes and wet sanding. When the job’s done, it peels away cleanly—no gluey residue, no torn edges, no rework.

Why detailers love it


Crisp edges: perfect for panel gaps, badges and rubber trims.
Residue-free removal: saves time on clean-up.
Durable adhesive: stands up to APCs, panel wipes and wet sanding.
Flexible backing: follows mirrors, handles and complex contours.
Multi-purpose: ideal for sectioning test spots and pad-width guides.


How to use


Clean and dry the area.
Apply and burnish the tape edge you want to protect.
Polish or wet-work as required.
Peel away slowly at a low angle; replace if saturated.


Tip: Use narrow widths for precision around badges; use wider widths to shield textured plastics from pad contact.

3M 3434 Masking Tape Available in the following widths:

19mm x 50 meter
25mm x 50 meter
38mm x 50 meter
50mm x 50 meter

The 3m blue masking is a must for machine polishing. I cover all my plastics and rubbers etc to stop staining. And this one by far the best I?ve used. I?ve also used it on painted panels (for 50/50 shots and test panels) and it removes with ease

I've tried to use DIY shop masking tape (even blue coloured stuff) and, on car body work, it always leaves behind a residue of glue. Sometimes, it doesn't stick very well and you end up resticking the same strip multiple times. This tape is different as it's designed to be used with car paint/bodywork and as such it sticks well and peels off leaving behind no residue. It also doesn't leave gum all over your polishing pad if you run over its edge while polishing. Do yourself a favour, if you're machine polishing a car, don't attempt to use normal masking tape - just use this. It's a massive long roll and it's made for the job.
