aka masking tape for chip prevention

[bart]

so i have some newly painted body panels, which have been curing for the past 7 months now , but since winter is here, i want to protect these items before summer.

i don't want any permanent 3m. during the summer months i want nothing on my hood / bumper / fenders - besides paint.

i noticed some people just put painters tape on, effective? i don't want to look too ghetto. also i'm not feeling those rubber bras.

are there some kind of disposable 3m precut kits you can apply temporarily?

thanks

3m kits are all pretty pricey. plus side it they come off easy with not much damage to anything. most other adhesive tape will leave an impossible to get off gunk after a while.

Isn't there a spray on protectant that just washes off? I've seen ads for it somewhere...

While it is cold, just hose the front of your car every day.. nice layer of ice should keep the rocks off

But when the ice breaks off on deerfoot and smokes my car while driving behind ya, you must prepare to die.

dont tape up your car, the tape can only stay on for like 3 days max otherwise it is a ***** to get off. not to mention as soon as it gets any moisture on it it will start coming apart.

either lay some tape down and run a bra, or 3M your car, or dont park it. Those are your options.
