I am about to go see family 1200 miles away and do not want to have to scrape bugs off. Do you think a layer or two of saran wrap would help prevent most of the bug genocide on my nice new car? I know it will look weird but will it work?

Thanks.

I'd say give it a really good coat of wax instead, makes the bug removal pretty easy. Not sure if saran wrap will hold on for the road trip.

 

Everyone at the car shows uses the blue painters tape when it is time for the drive home. Looks bad but serves a purpose.

 

Hmmmmm That's not a bad idea. I wonder if it would work. I think it would stay on just fine. My only concern would be if it could harm the paint in some way by raising the temp and humidity under the wrap. I actually think you may have something here.

 

USE THE TAPE.. Guys are using it on their $5K body kits, U can use it on your crappy Scion paint job.

 

14-Day Clean Removal--This tape removes cleanly without adhesive transfer or surface damage for up to 14 days--even in direct sunlight. Medium adhesion tape ideal for painted walls and trim, woodwork, glass, and metal. UV and sunlight resistant. 1 in. x 60 yd. roll of blue tape. #2090

Safe Release Painters' Masking Tape for Faux & Decorative Painting--Low to medium adhesion tape that will remove cleanly up to 60 days after application. For interior and exterior use. UV and sunlight resistant. Ideal for smooth surfaces like striping, glass, vinyl-coated wallpaper, and one day old painted surfaces. 1 in. x 60 yd. roll or 1 1/2 in. x 60 yd. roll of blue tape. #2080

 

^^^ I love it when they say this "For interior and exterior use only." What is left?

 

Yeah, I'm very familiar with blue painter's tape. I've used it to......paint. I actually like the Saran Wrap idea for two reasons. It's not putting any adhesives against the paint, and because it's clear, you won't look like you had to tape your car together after a wreck.

 

internal use?

 

well like I said earlier, this wasn't for look. And like I also said earlier, the adhesive is nothing to worry about. If you go to any car shows, guys are covering their expensive cars with this stuff for the ride home. It will also be much easier to apply. Saran wrap is a pain in the ___ trying to cover my leftovers, let alone my car.

 

ive heard about people using a thin coat of olive oil or pam on their bumper for long drives. i have yet to try it, but i think i should. since my girl lives in boofoo, i dont like picking grasshoppers off my grill.

 

Well, I suppose the blue tape idea if you had IIP(or, as they say it now, NB)

But I think the saran wrap idea is awesome. it should work

 

Dont use saran wrap!!!!! use Glad cling wrap;)

 

Good idea. By the way, is boofoo anywhere near bumfu#&?

 

personally used blue painters tape and it works really well...comes off clean too

 

use the blue tape to hold on the saran wrap. and if your skeptical about the saran wrap doing damage just apply new sheets daily or every 6 hours or something

 

I dont see how the saran wrap would cause any damage , When I used to process these vehicles they came off the ships with white plastic wrap on the hoods , roofs , trunks and the surfaces on the doors . Granted it was a heavier plastic wrap but still plastic , and that stuff did occassionally leave residue behind

 

I've been wondering the same thing... But for now I also use blue painters tape....

 

wow painter's tape.. that big blue roll all wrapping the bumper?
