XPEL TRACWRAP Temporary Paint Protection Film Roll, 18" x 40' - Urethane Surface Wrap Protects from Damage, Chips, Scratches - Safe for Cars, Trucks, Motorcycles, RV's & More

used this on my brand new bmw x5 m60i to protect the paint on the drive home until it could get wrapped next month. the 12”x40’ was enough to cover the important parts.it applied easily, cut to fit then put on where you want it. i drove an hour home then peeled it right off since i was paranoid about the paint sticking from other reviews when they left it on too long. i had no issues at all! it peeled away so easily. protected from bugs and dirt even from my hour drive.highly recommend and i’ll be buying a second roll for my trip to the detailer.

Used this to protect my front bumper and side mirrors on a 5 hour road trip with a big group of 911's. I didn't try to squeegee it smooth, just basically slapped it on and it stayed in place. I'm not trying to make it look smooth and invisible like paint protection film because its temporary. I put it on the night before the trip and I'm sure it would have stayed on indefinitely, but I removed it once I got to my destination, then applied new strips for the ride home. If you remove it carefully you can probably reuse the same strips, but I haven't tried it. Removes clean, no residue. My car has been paint corrected and this removes with no damage. Expensive, but better than blue tape and it's clear. Excellent for the track or long road trips. This stuff will stay on for a cross country trip and back!

Function:Yes, Tracwrap works, no doubt about it. I autocross with big sticky tires and the tend to fling rocks at the paint causing chips. I've had ZERO chips where I've placed the tape. I've installed and used on the track, course, and street without an issue.Cost:It's expensive. Let's be honest about it, you're paying to prevent paint chips so it's worth the price. Unfortunately it's not a permanent solution, so the price for use climbs rapidly. The long term solution is to a get a permanently installed paint protection film. I'd use this only to determine where you want the permanent film, and then get a local shop to install and be done with this repeating cost.Installation:The film isn't hard to apply, and after 3-4 times I've seen to have found "what works" on my car and the curves of where I'm installing. The "tool" (a piece of plastic with a felt like piece glued to it) works well to remove bubbles. It will NOT remove wrinkles. You need to have some tension in the film as you are laying it down, but you don't want to stretch the film. There is a fine balance required, but it's not hard to figure out. You should start with a clean surface and I'd work in small pieces (3' at most) the first few times you use this. As you get the feel for the tension vs. stretch you can cut longer pieces if required and get a near invisible install.

To set the record straight and help anyone on the fence about this: It works perfectly and does not pull paint. I just used it on a new$190k Porsche 911. Prewax the area to be extra safe and use a hair dryer to help with clean removal.

I used this to drive my new 2024 Corvette Z06 two hours from the dealer to get home in January. I ended up leaving it on for 38 days. The 6” x 40’ was just enough to cover the vulnerable areas - you may want a little more. 6” width is the right size to make it easy to handle. I did it in strips of 4’ or less, covering the nose, rocker panel and on the body behind the wheels. A few tips:1. Make sure it is very clean before you apply2. It’s best if you have two people to apply3. Gravel will accumulate where there are gaps, so be careful to take it off before this causes damage4. It does fine in the cold even when left on for several weeks without causing damage, but make sure you take it off in a warm environment. I waited for a 60°F day, drove it, put it in a garage and heated the garage to about 80°F.5. Use a space heater to warm the wrap in each section (about 30-60 seconds in each 3-foot strip) before pulling it off.As you can see, it didn’t leave any residue and didn’t damage the paint/clearcoat on paint which was about 4 weeks old (had to wait a few weeks to pick it up).

I ended up getting an allocation for a sweet Lotus Emira from a dealer that was 11 hours away, most of it highway miles. Decided to give this a try and was a bit nervous about it leaving nasty residue or even worst paint peeling when removing the film. Knowing that I was only going to keep the film on my car for only 2 days and the temp was around 60 degrees I gave it a try. Ordered the 40ft roll and used the whole thing up protecting my front end. Took only a few minutes to install (albeit not pretty) but it definitely served its purpose. Protecting the car after an 800 mile journey. Well worth it!

This product is very easy to put on and while the product did its job while applied, removing the Tracwrap also removed the top layer finish from my headlight and from the side skirt. Somewhat defeats the purpose of having put it on in the first place.

I'm using this product as a temporary solution until I can get permanent paint protection film put on the front clip of my new car. The installer is backed up for months so they suggested I put this on temporarily to protect the paint. XPEL said it can stay in place for up to 3 months. I've had mine on for about a month so far.I think it's doing its job of protecting my paint but it was a nightmare to install. Took 2 of us 3 hours to put on the small part that goes on the front edge of the hood. Then we had to call in reinforcements and have the boyfriend's parents come over the next day to help put it on the rest of the front end.This product is sticky so if it touches itself you have to throw it away. This is horrible since it's so pricey! Our recommendation to XPEL would be to not make it sticky until you get it wet. Like some window tint film is. You wet it and then quickly put it on the car and then it activates the glue.This product is probably ok if you are planning on putting it on a much smaller area. It doesn't come out looking anything close to good but it should protect your paint and that's what it's for.
