Allstar Performance ALL14277 Clear 4" x 30' Surface Protection Tape - Heavy Duty Adhesive Film for Car Paint Protection, RV, Boat & Furniture Scratch Prevention

This stuff has saved my car from pretty big rock chips and even a car that hit me in the corner of my back bumper while parallel parking.It is a perfect thickness and very strong/durable. It is optically clear as well, though you will notice the lines of the edges of it.I have put it in all the major pain points on my car. One strip on the leading edge of my hood (minimize rock chips), two parallel strips on the corners of my front bumper, two strips on each of the side mirrors, one strip on the handle edge of my hatchback door, one strip on the lip/entry of the trunk, and two long parallel strips on my rear bumper.Very easy to apply if you lightly heat it up with a hair dryer (before taking off the the protective backing). Then make sure to have a soap water spray bottle with you. Spray the car where you will be applying it heavily. Do not spray the tape itself with the protective backing on as it will make it impossible to take off the backing. Once the backing is off, you can spray the tape, the car, and even your hands to allow easy repositioning. Will work even on curves/contours. Once you have it in place, push out any air bubbles and let dry. It won't move at all (mine has been in place for almost 2 years now).Only negative I have noticed is that if it does start to get an edge lifted once in place, it will collect dirt on the adhesive side but this is expected and of course much better than get scuffs and scratches.I have no idea how hard it will be to take off or what the paint will look like when I do, but my guess is do the same in reverse...heat up the tape with a hair dryer and use lots of soap water to get it off.Might get another roll to protect all the door edges on the doors.
