Hello, I get some "interesting" ideas while sitting at my desk doing nothing all day. Let me put this one out there..
How about a clear bra... with saran wrap!?! This wouldn't be meant to be permanent but rather something to only be left on a few days at a time or in between washes. Something to protect the front end of the car a bit from scratches or nicks that you might get after the roads have been treated for snow or for a long trip, etc. Something along those lines.
As a test, I found a roll of saran wrap in the lunch room and decided to start wrapping. I wrapped a painted section of my desk. I thought the plastic wrap might cling well dry, but it did not. I misted my desk with water and applied the piece of saran wrap. I spread it out as well as I could then squeegeed excess water and bubbles out with a thin pad of post-it notes. It really seems to be on good now without any kind of creases or bubbles. Also, my desk shines more. The wrap really brought out the luster of the dull cubicle paint job. I'm going to let it set for a couple hours and begin testing how well it holds with a few tests.
What are your thoughts on actually doing this to my daily driver? Is it going to work? Will it be worth the hassle?
The forum really seems to be lacking a good read today. You can clearly see I'm quite bored so I thought this might conjure up some good discussion.
