As above what's the best tape to use on your motor to stop chips etc on a road trip

 

most people just use masking tape

 

+1.......

 

depends on how fussy you want to be you can use clear polythene cut out to the shape of the front of you car and use the blue tape to stick it on

 

Was just goin to tape the whole front up

 

ive seen people use that blue detailing tape

or cling film

 

seen a car with all the front end done in tape it looked fucking shit

 

It isn't done for style sake... It is done to prevent you from having to re-detail your car when you arrive at a show etc.

 

theres been a few mclaren mp4's going about my way covered in this blue 3m tape.

 

I don't care how it looks just don't want chipped paint as I'm driving 450 mile to ford fair

 

Millar do you want me to come round to yours and do it for you?use 3m stuff mate

 

they do a plastic film like cling film to wrap fron end up

 

bubble wrap

 

cling film and 3M 3434 'blue' tape, if it rains no worries. The 3M tape is waterproof.

 

Dose this 3m stuff still come off no probs on a hot bonnet as my frst bonnet gets so hot don't want the stuff melted to it lol

 

never fuck me thought it was for styling LMAO you twat

 

It should be fine. It can be left on a panel for days and not leave any sticky marks. It's used in bodyshops and detailing. So if it can take being baked in an oven, I'm sure it will be fine on a hot bonnet. I've seen cars with clingfilm and 3M 3434 tape turn up at shows. I'd take a quick detailer spray with you anyway.

 

I'll be polishing it on the campsite on sat any way lol found the blue tape in b&q 2 inch stuff

 

yea 3m tape is pretty much what everyone uses for this kind of thing and in body shops
