    Question Protective TAPE?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hi All,

    Does anyone know where I would go to purchase that protective tape (usually seen in blue)? I'm planning on taking my B7 on a roadtrip and I want to try and avoid rock chips/road debrit etc..

    Thanks!

    Re: Protective TAPE?

    I just want to be careful not to buy the wrong kind and harm my paint when I peel it off.

    Can I get a second opinion?

    thanks!

    seems to me it maybe provides some level of protection in a dry condition....if you're driving on a freeway on a rainy day, it might get washed away.

    quoted from the description on the website
    "You can power wash it off or use soap and water. Rain, snow or moisture in the air won’t affect it."

    or just bring an extra can with you incase it got washed away.
