Besides VERY CAREFULLY :rofl
These are pictures from my Atlanta trip that I just got back from. Kirby Vieira brought us his GTX1 for detailing - and rather than just being careful, I'd rather play it the safest way: Make a roof. It took about 45 minutes to an hour to make. We used it for 10 minutes, and removed it in 20 seconds. This is how careful I am in my work.
Here is a copy and paste from another post that I made recently:
"I cleaned the edges of where the roof *might be* and used 3M green tape to outline the creation. We then essentially sandwiched layers of plastic sheeting (Best known as garbage bags, cut at the seam) between the 3M tape, and another layer of 3M tape. At no time did the sheeting come in contact with the paint. I then put up three layers of said sheeting, followed by some high absorbent towels - that ALSO never touched the paint. In the end we were left with a faux roof that can with stand a few sprinkles here and there.
The GTX1 was still washed as if it had no roof, but the entire purpose of this creation was to leave absolutely no chance any water would get inside. It took about an hour to create it, but I'd rather do the job right than cut a corner and risk it. It looked silly, indeed, but in this case I was going for functionality verses looks. It worked flawlessly. Not a leak anywhere."
It may not be pretty, but it WORKED, and worked very well.
:cheers
