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

    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...

    ISC Helicopter-OG Surface Guard Tape (8 mil Outdoor Grade) at FindTape.com

    on this link, scroll down till you get to "Surface Protection Tape / Helicopter Tape"
    ICS RACERS TAPE

    What do you guys think?

    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.

    and here's another one:
    EZ Shield Paint Protector | Clear Car Bra
    Applying Your Clear Car Bra - EZ Shield Paint Protector

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

    Well I got my 1st reply: (about the ICS helicopter stuff)

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