Never heard of it. Where does it go? Is it like the clear bra stuff?

it is a cheap temporary wrap of the front that you peel off after the trip.

That's a pretty good idea actually. Just looks like really tough Seran Wrap!

Probably works as suggested. I know my old car buddies used blue painters tape alot. I mean it is blue and it stands out but it apparently comes off very cleanly and it only costs $6 a roll.

Default Don't!!!

I have purchased this product month ago, used it in my brand new car, guess what happened when I left the film for two days ONLY; scruffs on the hood and bumper :'(

I would rather spending time on cleaning the bugs rather than wax/polish the car everytime I travel!

Hmmm, interesting. We have several members in the local Mustang club that use it with great sucess...... I bought a roll that I plan to use on a trip this Fall up to Idaho.

I bought one and it is effective but the look is just tacky when placed, it looks like a crinkled saran wrap in front of your black SUV. the scratches the steve was referring to was if you have excess wrap around the sides, it flaps during travel and will cause some gouging if not trimmed or cut. I just was the car before traveling then just clean it off when I get home.

I'd go for the real deal 3m wrap

Scotchgard? Paint Protection Film Solutions

you dont have to get carried away with coverage, just talk to a 3m certified installer. They will help you figure out your needs.
