So in a few weeks time im gonna b driving all the way out to Jersey from Windsor...aka almost 1000KM round trip + what ever other driving we do around jersey. Any ways, im gonna b on the highway for almost 19 hours throughout the trip. I was thinking maybe i would try this Duplicolor Sheild stuff. Its a spray on Sheild that leave a bit of a haze when applied but washes off easily when you want it off, either power washed, or with soap and water. Apparently rain, snow, etc wont take it off too. I was just curious if any one has used it b4. Duplicolor says it doesnt leave any marks or any thing on the car, but im not 100% sure about that. Also im thinkin of doing the blue tape run. Aka get low tack masking tape and tapping up the front end. Only downside to that is if i hit rain. But im also looking for any other ideas of how to keep my front end from gettin all chipped up/plastered with bugs. Any ideas??

If ur worried about just the trip to the meet, do what i mentioned in that thread

BLUE painters tape works VERY VERY well and for 3$ a roll, that would tape ur entire car, its a great deal smile.gif

Yea, im also gonna go out and buy a can of the spray on stuff and try it on my buddies car..hes got a 91 sunbird thats a big POS that he doesnt care about, but the paint on the front end is in good condition, so we made a deal and hes gonna try it out for me for a week. He lives like 40 min away from the school out in the country so he has to drive all country roads and highway at 80+km/h so im gonna see how it lasts on his car and how easily it comes off.

If it doesnt work out good, im probably gonna painters tape it, just im worried about it rainging along the way.
