polishing question

For those who have already polished your BRZ/FRS, how did you polish this area?

tape up the trims using painter's tape

then start polishing either by hand, or with a polisher

Thanks. If you have both sides taped up, is it safe to use a 5.5 pad? just keep the pad centered? also what about the area down by the fog light or the corner of the bumper, can you just polish it with half the pad or do you just skip the area?
