Mike, do it!

If you don't like it, you can just peel it off.

too bad they dont have clear plastidip. you could spray the front of the car for track day and then peel it off after a couple of track days.

pepboys sells something like a saran wrap for the front of the car for that purpose.

Its called Road Wrap. I got some last year to try out before a track day. Goes on hard and comes off harder. Also leaves some real nice adhesive resedue on your paint.

It's called rally wrap. I think Marc tried it and said it was a total pain in the *** to apply. I bet it's similar to vinyl wrapping your car only to tear it off.

Plastidip takes some work to peel off. Removing large areas covered with it would be pretty annoying.

the 3m paint protection is not that bad to do for front end protection. As for the wheels i need to find something I have tried all the wheel protection sprays and none of them seem to work on my mr bbs. Seems like they just love brake dust. I was thinking about clear coating them a bunch and see what happens,

Since I would use plastidip temporary, I would wax the car before spraying it so it's easier to remove. If it still hard to remove with wax, then I might wipe down the area with wd40 first. Same thing with rally wrap if I was going to use it.

I always wax first before putting on vinyl stickers on. Much easier to remove later.
