Just testing if the plasti would hold up to rock chips and not transfer them to the paint, i'll help you peel it off at Zdayz.

i'd be more worried about plastidip than this clear stuff for the paint. even though i have done my friends whole hood on his audi for fun and it came off without problem.

maybe if i get packed tonight i'll tape up a bit of my car. who knows.

RandyD 05-13-2013 02:30 PM

my fangs are plastidipped - and they have held up much better that the surrounding areas - if a big enough chip happens i just spot fill it with a new little squirt :)

Cool deal, now we just need someone to dip the whole bumper and hood instead of using tape.

I'm only doing front bumper and lights. I have 3 layers of wax on the car with sealant.

All Chemical guys! Jetzeal 109 rocks!

Mike, my buddy in the middle of the pic used clear plastidip on his headlights and it worked out great.

KaienZ34 05-13-2013 09:10 PM

Clear plasti, someone do the whole car.

FPenvy 05-13-2013 11:15 PM

I went and checked out that 3m stuff and from what it says to do the hood, bumper, and fenders you'd need at least 2 cans so now that's $50 just in spray, $12 in the tape and cover kit, and $7 for the sprayer attachment.

b1adesofcha0s 05-13-2013 11:24 PM

Seems kinda expensive....

Did your Dad do a "Z" logo in tape on his hood? If he did, nice touch! See you this evening (or tomorrow morning).

Glad you made it to Fontana safely.

I think I speak for the rest of us when I say that I was looking forward to someone else being the guinea pig. :inoutroflpuke:

(I get it though! ;) 3M should consider sending a mobile vendor with their own demo car to events like ZDayZ to get the product in front of the people who want to use it, but are not willing to risk it on their particular car.)

speedfreek 05-14-2013 09:08 AM

So those that run the tape like Sfearl1. Do you leave it taped up the whole trip? Or do you untape once you arrive at Fontana and then wash and retape before the commute back Sunday? Thats's a lot of tape. :eek:

That's what most do tape, ride out, untape for the whole of Zdayz and retape for the return home trip.

I've been saying for years that the blue painters tape people need to make a clear auto specific tape. They wouldn't have to change it a lot make the adhesive the same just make the tape clear. There is a ton of money to be made here.

KaienZ34 05-14-2013 09:39 AM

I'll be heading to meet up with the Texas guys and gals in an hour and a half. :excited:

I agree...let someone else give it a go first. May be a great product, but then again...not. I wouldn't want to risk it on my own car. Maybe one of the Civic forum members can try it first. But then again, most Civics can't go more than 70MPH so, it may not be a true test :bowrofl: :stirthepot: .

i wanted to run in it but not for $125 or whatever ridiculous rate they were charging. i run airport runs here for $25 all day runs.

I replied in the other thread as well but it still is a go at least for now...since this cropped up. I wanted to see the Alpha12 GTR run. But with the TSM vs Forged going on it seems with all that has happened it has gotten to this point.

Guys how big is this strip? I wanted to run my G37 IPL but will I be able to hit 140 or more?

i doubt it's worth the $145 they are charging to run.

Sales@AAMComp 05-14-2013 02:09 PM

speedfreak you might want to edit your post for the misinformation, this is how rumors get started

Thanks

speedfreek 05-14-2013 02:59 PM

Edited. Wasn't trying to mislead anyone. No one is banned. The ban is lifted.

I'm pretty sure it's way too late to sign up for that. Typically that event is filled before registration is open... if you know what i mean.:ugh2:

Okay, well glad to hear that mess is cleared up.
