I'll be hitting the highway for a 6 hour trip and was wondering what people do to protect the front of there cars from rock chips, bugs etc etc. I have quite a few already but dont want it to get worse.
Plus bug season is starting so that will be like a million of those on the front. What do you guys use? Saran wrap the front bumper? what will stick to it at 120KM/hr?
Regards,
I'm driving down to Florida in a couple of weeks :S.... I was thinking I need the stuff that they put on new cars. But where do you get the painers tape?

i believe an art supply store. its a blue and it comes off the car easy and doesnt leave goo on the paint. check the gallery and look at the bash pics. some cars as they were pulling in have it on there
bug net my dad has one for out bonneville
you can get the painters tape at a lot of auto parts stores also. Just look in the paint aisle.
Hmmm I'll have to check the art supply and hobbie shops before I leave town tomorrow. Looks like I'll have to make some calls in the A.M before leaving. So what is it called exactly so I dont sound like a idiot.

Dude that would take for every to cover the whole front bumper/valance with that tiny stuff and probably cost a arm and a leg.
I looked through the gallery but couldnt find any images. Can someone help me out here with this covering stuff?
Regards,
use plastic wrap, like the clear shrink wrap stuff.
do you mean from like the grocery store or like for wrapping stuff up for packaging like palets and so forth or boxes.
Regards,
yea it takes a while but it works and is the best that we found so far. other stuff works but leaves goo on the paint from being in the sun
What about the stuff they have on the fronts of new cars (the white protective stuff)? Or the stuff that they have on plexi glass to protect it in transit? I just don't know where to get it.

yup use the white stuff, car dealerships have em...as do car factories...i know junior had it all over his car at the bash, but he works at a GM plant lol...
yea but is it possible to buy anywhere, like at an auto store?
just slap some vinyl on there, you know that they use for decals and such. you can buy a roll off ebay or a local shop. it just stickes on but it's nice and wide (12-24 inches depending). it doen't leave that much of a res but if it does just hit it with meguires cleaner wax and the ish coves right off.
i think thats your best bet, and it will stay until you pull it off. no matter what speeds yours traveling.
