I rarely go on long distance trips so i just used blue painter's tape. Worked like a charm and only cost $5 something. I could care less what people thought of it, chances are the people talking crap drive boring cars anyway. I heard someone at an auto show bash a Ferrari because it was automatic (chances they could ever afford a manual are probably slim), someone else on a Lotus saying the seats felt uncomfortable. Some people are just *sigh* never mind. I guess the world needs them too. :) http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a55...13/photo-1.jpg |

As much as I commend you all for protecting your finishes, I just can't get over how bad the blue tape looks. Although the example above is the nicest I have seen to date. :)

Its hard to imagine paper tape protecting from flying rocks....
The wrap looks like heavier pallet wrap.... wonder if you could just double up.... |
On Monday/Tuesday/Friday of this summer, I drive from home to school.... its about a 36 mile drive. And I get alot of bugs on the front of my car... so I wash it Thursday. But I still cant get alot of the bug resin off.... even with the "Rain X:Bug Off"
I am about to leave for Louisiana from Tallahassee in 16 hours.And I am worried about driving at night and there being WAY TOO MANY BUGS on the road. I already washed the car and handed dried it. And I thought about putting the blue painters tape on it already, but my friend that works for nissan told me not to cause it would be too long of a time. Quote:

it'll be fine if you leave it on for days. i read somewhere the sticky side is meant to peel off safely without leaving any residue within 2 months. the only problem aside from that is maybe the paint fading unevenly because part of it is protected and the other is exposed - that won't happen in 3-4 days..

I taped up my Z the night before a track event, drove to the event and ran the track all day Saturday. Then drove home Sun, too tired to remove tape and wash the car, I waited until Monday late afternoon to take it all off. Paint was fine!! :tup: |
Wish they made it in red or black

I bought the road wrap stuff from Griot's Garage as did a few other guys that are caravaning down to ZDayZ from Northern VA next week.
It looks like total *** on the car but 1) it's thick to protect against rocks and will make cleanup a breeze and 2) I'm not the only one doing it so I won't be the only one looking ridiculous for 600 miles. |
