Paint Protection Film - Temporary Roll-On Automotive Exterior Protector from Rocks, Scratch and Chips - Coating Applies White, Dries Clear 16oz Kit

We got this when we were picking up our new Model Y out of state with the goal of keeping the car chip free and pristine until we were home and could get in for a proper PPF install. I first considered theTRACK ARMOUR temp ppf tape, but ultimately went with this because looked much easier to apply and get everything covered and I was rather concerned about adhesive residue some experienced. This Road Warrior product worked great. It took longer to apply that I was anticipating, but that was more me being overly optimistic of how fast I could paint multiple coats with an apx 2.5" roller, and while the panel says 65+ weather the best the day could muster was 55 so probably slowed down the dry time. But it worked well, went on easily, and taking off wasn't as bad as I feared, and there's things I could have done better in prep that would have made it even better. Do not underestimate how thick you should get it for 1. I thought I was, but there were numerous spots I realized I was thinner than I should have gone (go thin, but 3+ coats at least). For parts where the body panels meet (e.g. the front fascia with front quarter panel) I would probably cover those joints with low stick painter's tape first as it was tricky to get this temp film off. As others have mentioned go thicker on the edges which will make the initial starting peel easier. Go slow. Pull off at a sharp angle (not 90 deg). DO use water if that wasn't clear - I found a pump sprayer to be very effective at getting enough water to slip under the film and lift it without being too much pressure and tearing it up. DO note that as it is reactive to water that you cannot drive in the rain. I was hoping to leave on longer while waiting for our PPF appointment, but, alas, a rainshower (and not a heavy one at that) had little chunks of this flying off the car. If you know the weather is going to rain don't bother as it will not work (I knew this going in, just got caught out when it started). All in all it works great for what it's intended for - Temporary protection. Honestly I think it's a little pricey (my 16 oz kit was just enough to do nose, hood, half quarter panel on each side, the side mirrors, and A pillars around windshield for 2-3 coats, and honestly I wish I could have gone over with at least one more coat to make removal that much better), but I just KNOW with my luck that 500mi drive would have been fraught with paint peril had I not put it on (Murphy's law being what it is). I just saw they now have an $8 coupon (of course) - with that I'd have gotten to 2 16oz kits and been better covered and had some left over. Oh, I also wouldn't use the little tray - I found the design of the tray a bit wasteful personally (e.g. the channels on the side catch product and prevents you from using it). If I were at home I would have just grabbed a normal painter's tray

Preparing a trip from Florida to Pennsylvania I was concerned my 2018 BMW front end would get ruined by love bugs and road debris. After reading all the comments left by others I was still skeptical but decided to give it a try.The bottle says a little goes a long way, but I wanted maximum protection and I used three coats. Application was relatively easy as I applied it directly in the Florida sun. Drying time was quick, and the finish made me wonder what I did to my new car.During day one of the trip stopping at several rest stops the product held up well, and there were a umber of bugs attached. During the tail end of day one, it began to rain. The pictures show the effect on the product as it rained overnight while the car was parked. I wanted to see how easy it was to remove, so I pealed off the roof covering and was surprised how easy it came off leaving only very tiny pieces attached to a rubber lining in the convertible gutter.Day two I drove from Virginia to Pennsylvania in a four hour driving thunderstorm. When I arrived at my destination, a good deal of the product had dissolved and what was left was easily removed by hand (although it did seep into the rings around the parking sensors but that too was easily removed).When it finally stopped raining I was impressed, no paint loss, no sticky residue and the product performed as advertised. As a bra is not available for my vehicle, this will be my go-to product for future trips and Florida’s love bug season. Quite impressed by its performance!

Applied this on our brand new car before a 2,400 mile road trip. TL/DR, would definitely buy again despite a few minor gripes.Application and removal - The product applied with the included roller easily (see tips). I found it was (mostly) easy to remove many weeks later, I just followed their directions and sprayed with water first to soften. A pressure washer basically (with the appropriate fan tip!) took almost all it off in a hurry. Only a few spots were a pain to remove the “leftovers.” One bottle was more than enough to cover the frontend of our full-size Infiniti SUV.Protection - It definitely offered more than adequate protection from bugs and rock chips during our drive, so I’m pleased with the purchase. The company is very up front about rain potentially impacting it’s adhesion to paint, so I cringed as we drove through 5-6 hours of steady rain at highway speed. Despite thinking we would loose it all, I was pleasantly surprised that it really mostly just softened and turned milky white. We only lost a few small sections on the leading edges where, presumably, the airflow is more intense. This is where the protection aspect of it became apparent - I did find a few minor indentations from debris on the lower bumper where it flew off in the rain. The rainstorm happened early into our trip and we went through tons of gravelly construction after. That said, all the areas still covered were 100% perfect underneath - very pleased!Tips - 1. Don’t tape off the panel gaps with thin painter’s taps thinking it’ll be easier to remove (ask me how I know). It doesn’t work as it pulls off the good sections with it - fortunately I only tried two sections like this. Just roll over everything with paint, it comes out of the gaps easily enough. 2. DON’T get it on polycarbonate headlights. It didn’t ruin anything, it was just a royal pain to remove. 3. If you’re going on a long trip, save some in the bottle or get the two bottle kit and keep it for touch ups in case you hit a lot of rain.If they could just figure out a rain-proof formula, they would have THE perfect product for temporary paint protection. Until then, this is the next best thing.
