Finally on the Market, a Temporary Clear Bra--THAT WORKS!!
AutoMask, All the info you need is on the website. Any questions ask me I have tested it for 9 months, I have applied it to my personal cars about 20 times for up to 2 months at a time.

He really means it about AutoMask (it really works!!) I drove back to Florida from Alabama (from the MCA 30th stampede) and peeled all the "love bugs" off in 3 minutes!! Only 3 minutes to make my Car Show ready!!! (owner of Mustang.com)

This does sound interesting. I am wondering if it would effect any applied finishes on the paint such as Zaino, or a wax or what not. Would it stick to these finishes as well as to paint? How thick is the actual mask once sprayed oin the car? Can you spray it right over parking lights and headlights?

It is safe on all Plastic and painted surfaces and you don't spray it on. Think about it, if you sprayed it on you would have to mask off the whole front of the car--VERY TIME CONSUMING!
You mask the outline of what you want to protect, then you brush it on with a foam brush.

It takes me about 5 minutes to tape off and coat the front of my Mustang with AutoMask. If I want to protect against rocks then I use 3 coats, which takes about 5 minutes each coat. And below is a quote from the owner of Mustang.com who uses AutoMask on his SEMA Show Car:

NO staining of any kind, it is Water Based.
It works fine on waxed surfaces, in fact it is easier to remove from a waxed surface. I don't recommend using it on a FRESHLY waxed surface because at 80 mph in a driving rain storm it might come off. What I do, since my car stays waxed all the time is wipe it down with a solution of highly diluted "Dawn" detergent before I apply AutoMask for a long road trip. I have used it without doing this and only had the AutoMask come off the front edge of my hood once (out of 10 trips), and that was in a torential rain storm while I was driving on the Interstate.

I like the clear bra idea, anything to protect the front-end without making it too obvious.
This is JMO so I'm not flaming or anything. Unless I was going on a huge road trip there'd be no way I'd put that on my car. The finish is not smooth, from what I can see in the pics of the focus, and it's very obvious that it's on. Now the fact that it's easily removable is a big plus. Maybe a spray application could lend help to making it all much less visible. I like the way my car looks and I want it to look it's best all the time, it'd take a lot to convince me to have that on my car for any length of time, long road trips excluded.
Big pluses for the product, application needs to be worked on..... IMO

99% of the people that see it on my cars like the "STIPPLED" finish better!
From 20 feet away you can't even see the "stippled" finish. I guess I should not have taken such good Pics

That explains alot. I'd have to see one just to make sure, but if it's the 'stippled' just so that it can be seen I would seriously consider the temp bra.
But you should take pictures just so people can see that it's invisible. Just my opinion of course.
Thanks for the reply.

I was in a hurry last weekend to go to car show and put "Glad Press'n Seal" plastic wrap on front end like a bra, the mirrors too. It worked great and took all of a couple mintes to put on, seconds to take off. Granted, it looked like heck, but it did the job on the highway 75 mph for 50 miles.
Ghetto, but worked.
I did stop before getting to the show to pull it off. Also, got 1st place in 05-07 class.
