Product Description
You’re proud of your vehicle. To you, it’s not just a car or truck, it’s your baby.
Like us, you work hard to have nice toys, but acquiring them is only half the battle. Maintaining their look and preserving their value can be a full-time job.
We believe the only thing worse than no protection is blue painter’s tape, which takes a long time to put on and covers up the very thing it’s meant to enhance. Clear bras, on the other hand, work well but are expensive, specialized, and a monumental undertaking to apply.
Road Warrior Plus Paint Protection Film is here to help guard your prized vehicle from harm.
This protective clear solution has been painstakingly studied and formulated with value, ease, and reliability in mind. We know that your time is worth just as much as your money, and we aim to help you save on both.
The liquid rolls on easily with the included applicator and tray. This temporary sealant will protect your paint jobs, whether on an RV, muscle car, motorcycle, or toy hauler. Perfect for road trips, track days, off-roading, Concourse, or winter grime.
This protectant rolls on as a white liquid, but dries to a clear film 10 mils thick which peels off easier than it goes on.
**Not suggested for use in rain as it will soften. Apply and remove in temperatures over 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
**Still not feeling primed? Here are some additional benefits of our protective liquid to consider:
- Safe to use over a clear hood bra or PPF
- Won’t remove your paint when peeled off
- Covers contours without fuss
- No more stretching and wrapping
- Can be sprayed on with an HVLP gun
Quit wrapping, taping, and sweating just to protect your car. Add Road Warrior Plus Paint Protection Film to your cart TODAY!
How to use:
ROLL ON
Road Warrior Plus is a “liquid” that is applied to clean finished painted surfaces by a roller/brush or HVLP gun. Using the paint-roller brush (included in every kit), apply 2-3 THICK COATS. Thicker is better. Be generous – paint a base coat and wait 5 minutes or so between coats 2 and 3, all in one simple application process. The photo shows 3 coats after drying for 20 minutes or so. It’s turning clear…
LET DRY
It cures to a clear, tough, vinyl covering that is 10 mils thick. Dry time depends upon the temperature, humidity, and available sunlight. For fastest dry time, dry in the sun. It dries clear and up close it has a textured look but from far away it is not noticeable.
DRIVE!
When driving it protects the surfaces from blemishes and damage caused by gravel, rubber, tar, bugs, dirt, mud, sand, and salt.
PEEL OFF
Removal is just as easy as its application! Simply spray the protected surfaces with water and peel, as if it was shrink wrap.
BLUE TAPE – YUCK
Most people typically start with blue tape for paint protection. While inexpensive, it takes a long time to apply, it is thin, and aesthetically leaves a lot to be desired. Road Warrior Plus offers clear, durable paint protection that peels off as easily as tape.
Friends don’t let friends use blue tape.
VINYL TAPE -NOPE
Vinyl tape looks a little better than blue tape, but is absurdly expensive and takes hours to apply. Once applied, the edges can flap in the wind, allowing dirt to get underneath and slap against your paint. Road Warrior Plus adheres to your paint, offering 100% paint protection and peels off as easily as vinyl tape.

GTiceman –
I was skeptical even though I did a lot of research on this product as I had never heard of it and I used to track my cars frequently. However, I was nothing short of amazed. I purchased an e90 M3 from a buddy of mine and I wanted to keep the paint protected from rock chips on the drive from Philadelphia to Tampa and I can say that this did the job for 90% of the trip.I rolled this on the car in about 65 degree weather outside. It does seem to drip so be careful but that can be washed off pavement. My suggestion is go thin and do many coats, like we all hear when we are painting something. Let the product fully dry before the next coat, which shouldn’t be more than 10 minutes if you did it thin. I did about two-three coats in prime spaces like the front bumper and some of the hood. You can see in the images what it looks like when it is drying, almost like Elmer’s glue, and then the matte look it gives once dry. I did not tape any edges, but I did try to make them a little thicker.Now this held up perfectly through day 1 and most of day 2. However, we were driving into Florida as Eta was getting close so we hit some serious rain. This product is most definitely water soluble but not in the way you may think. As we were driving, the water started to eat away at sections and the adhesion and the product started to bubble up and flap and then re-adhere. We pulled over as soon as we saw this and peeled the product off just in case. This is the reason I dropped one star on the adhesion, due to the way this started to peel off. That being said the rain made it extremely easy to remove, less than 5 minutes, in giant sections. The last picture represents what happened with the rain before I peeled it all off.I would most definitely recommend this product if you need to protect a car on a long road trip, or even a track event. I caution that if it rains you may need to peel it off. It is a bit pricey so I don’t think it would be something I would put on for every track day or every single road trip, but if they are fairly close together I would leave it on the car. I actually loved the matte look it gave the car and I might consider doing a full matte PPF to replicate the style.

We got this when we were picking up our new Model Y out of state with the goal of keeping the car chip free and pristine until we were home and could get in for a proper PPF install. I first considered theTRACK ARMOUR temp ppf tape, but ultimately went with this because looked much easier to apply and get everything covered and I was rather concerned about adhesive residue some experienced. This Road Warrior product worked great. It took longer to apply that I was anticipating, but that was more me being overly optimistic of how fast I could paint multiple coats with an apx 2.5″ roller, and while the panel says 65+ weather the best the day could muster was 55 so probably slowed down the dry time. But it worked well, went on easily, and taking off wasn’t as bad as I feared, and there’s things I could have done better in prep that would have made it even better. Do not underestimate how thick you should get it for 1. I thought I was, but there were numerous spots I realized I was thinner than I should have gone (go thin, but 3+ coats at least). For parts where the body panels meet (e.g. the front fascia with front quarter panel) I would probably cover those joints with low stick painter’s tape first as it was tricky to get this temp film off. As others have mentioned go thicker on the edges which will make the initial starting peel easier. Go slow. Pull off at a sharp angle (not 90 deg). DO use water if that wasn’t clear – I found a pump sprayer to be very effective at getting enough water to slip under the film and lift it without being too much pressure and tearing it up. DO note that as it is reactive to water that you cannot drive in the rain. I was hoping to leave on longer while waiting for our PPF appointment, but, alas, a rainshower (and not a heavy one at that) had little chunks of this flying off the car. If you know the weather is going to rain don’t bother as it will not work (I knew this going in, just got caught out when it started). All in all it works great for what it’s intended for – Temporary protection. Honestly I think it’s a little pricey (my 16 oz kit was just enough to do nose, hood, half quarter panel on each side, the side mirrors, and A pillars around windshield for 2-3 coats, and honestly I wish I could have gone over with at least one more coat to make removal that much better), but I just KNOW with my luck that 500mi drive would have been fraught with paint peril had I not put it on (Murphy’s law being what it is). I just saw they now have an $8 coupon (of course) – with that I’d have gotten to 2 16oz kits and been better covered and had some left over. Oh, I also wouldn’t use the little tray – I found the design of the tray a bit wasteful personally (e.g. the channels on the side catch product and prevents you from using it). If I were at home I would have just grabbed a normal painter’s tray
