Wrapped the car with Road Wrap...long desert trip looming

I saw this product at SEMA and bought three rolls of 18" and one roll of 6" wraps. Four hours of work later I had covered the front bumper, both fenders, the entire hood, part of the roof, both rockers, the leading edge of the rear wheel arch and the rear bumper cover behind the wheels. The front bumper cover was a PITA...I have a new-found respect for the guys who do this for a living! If I were to do it over again I would order an additional three 6" rolls. I'm heading to Scottsdale tomorrow and will post a performance update if warranted...we shall see how this stuff works out.

Good to know about. I wish I would have seen this before the track day yesterday. Picked up a small chip behind the front wheel well from rocks being flung up by the hot tires.

I see you are going from Cali to AZ. I have done a few long trips now in the desert on my C63 and I always use blue painter tape. People look at my car weird and honestly iti sn't the best looking approach but it is definately the most practical and cheapest to me and it always does the job.
