Default I've seen people use the blue painter's tape before.

Ugly, but cheap and effective for a one time thing.

Default Go with painters tape. It will protect more and better.....

The bra's can damage the paint if the car isn't 100 clean before putting it on. Plus on a long road trip dirt could find it's way in and then cause damage.

I also got my hand on the same stuff Audi puts on the cars in Germany before shipping them, but it's extremely hard to put it on and after about an hour it started lifting. As you can see I started with the white stuff and ended up using painters tape.

I drove my car form FL to NY using painters tape and I got it here with no issues.

Default 3rd on the painters tape....you'll feel like an *** driving w/it, but it works.

a bra might in fact do more harm than good, expecially at highway speeds (they tend to start flapping).
