Road Wrap

My search skills are not what they need to be, so...sorry if this has been covered: Is road wrap stripe friendly? The are roads are good but not great and it's killin' me not be driving my new GT500. I'd prefer something temporary and road wrap seems like a good solution.

 

Thanks for any and all relative direction / advice.

What I have heard is that Road Wrap is PERFECT for trips. Each roll should be able to do 10 front bumpers and should be taken off after 7 days. I have not used it yet, but will the next long trip.

Be very careful how you apply the road wrap! I used it while driving to San Deigo from Phx and when I took it off, it skuffed my paint! I had to have it wet sanded to buff out the damages, lucky for me it didn't cost that much. And for the stripes, I wouldn't use it on them, I still have small skuffs in the clear coat. Now it might have been how I put the wrap on, it got loose while driving on the highway, and sand ended up getting under the wrap from the drive through Yuma and the sand dunes. I think sand got on the wrap and ended up hitting the paint with almost sand paper like wrap. I threw away the rest of my roll, as I drove the car from FL to Az without a scratch! Well, honestly got like 3 small rock chips near the splitter. What I did was clean the front off at each stop. I would do that again rather then use this wrap. Oh one last thing, the extra glue from the wrap was a pain to get off the paint!

+1, same thing happened to me driving from Wisconsin to South Dakota. I threw my roll away also. Not worth the hassle. It will mar your paint if it comes loose and starts flapping around!
