ISC Helicopter Tape/Racer's Tape - good temp surface protection ?

[Washburn]

Anyone use this?

I am planning to use this on long hwy trips on lower areas just behind the front and rear wheel wells, where it get blasted with a lot of stones, pebbles, mud, tar, water and what not. (I don't have mud flaps), then I can just take it off after the trip...
-Also on the mirrors. (I already have somewhat old clear bra for the front)

It's a clear 8 mil film, (also available as 14 mil but less clear) seems to be easily removable, and normally used on racing events to protect paint...

Are you sure that's going to come off when you're "done"? A helicopter rotor leading edge is not really an application where they want something easily removable.

some of the reviews said it removes easily, and the product description says " This tape has a high quality adhesive that does not leave a sticky residue when removed.."

EDIT:
I emailed ICS and the FindTape.com customer service, and asked how easily removable it is - will update when/if they reply.

Good Alternatives:

-Tracwrap
-Road Wrap
-Clear Protective Shield>>>(Griot's Garage)

Roadwrap seems to have horrible reviews and trac wrap is way too $$$ for my purpose ....

Yes it will work fine for your application and easily removable after a few days. Hope this helps

There is one more link you should check it on:

Surface protection tape (http://www.tuftape.co/products/surface_protection/coated_uncoated_metals)

I am sure you will find it suitable.

I used this on my mountainbike to protect the pain from the cable housing (brake and shift). This stuff is pretty durable, but I don't know that I'd feel comfortable putting it on my car paint since I'd be afraid of it taking the paint off with it during removal.

With that being said: I didn't read any of the links posted on the previous replies.
