George, the Road Wrap stuff will work. It has an adhesive on it. Applied to a clean surface, you'll have no problems with it.

Thanks Bill. I'll have to do a little more thinking on it because i don't know if I like the idea of adhesive on my paint. It may come down to the lesser of two evils. (Bugs or adhesive) Hmmmmmmmmm.

its a no-brainer if you have a nice car....the bugs will wash with a little soap and water

I am a retired Fireman from Florida and we used to us Pam cooking spray on the front of the trucks. Nothing can stick. You have to apply it about every other day. I have never seen it hurt the paint and or crome. I still us it today on my POV if I am traveling in Lovebug season.

To add further explanation to the "adhesive": It seemed to me that it was more just a 'tackiness' (as in 'sticky'! ) on the backside of the wrap rather than a true really sticky adhesive like we all might perceive. Extremely easy to remove - didn't tear apart in little strips or anything. There was absolutely no residue, etc. when we took the wrap off the car once we got back to OH. And as I mentioned in a prior post, it held on the car really well, even through some pretty strong rains!

My friend was more interested in keeping things from harming the paint (minor rock chips, etc.) rather than having the wrap on the car as a bug protector though it was nice to not have to clean bugs off when the trip was over. So we layered around 3 strips of the wrap across the front of the car (fully painted, no grille per se). Worked out just fine! He was paranoid as heck about the paint as he wanted to get the more permanent clear paint protector film installed after he got home......but that's another story!

OK, I'm sold. Are you sure you don't have stock in the company? You're quite the salesman!

Thanks!

Thanks Bill

I've been looking for something like this for the Car and Harley on trips.

What a great idea! I'm sure it does not go down that smooth but who cares the protection is there!

Ha-ha! Nope - no stock in the company. And I hope the verbiage didn't all come across as being "salesy" (is that even a word??? ). Just trying to fill in any info gaps to help avoid anyone making assumptions about the product. Thanks!

You're right - it's not real pretty, especially on contoured surfaces. It doesn't stretch like Saran Wrap so you're bound to have wrinkles. But it DOES do the job! JMHO. Thanks!
