For those that taped up their car...how about when you're driving around town?

BLUE:

How long dive you leave the tape on the car from the time you put it on till you took it off?

did it leave a residue when you took it off?

My husband drove my car from LA to NorCal in 6 hours, starting the trip at noon. No tape residue at all.

Great info guys. I am going to my home state in Atlanta, Ga.(10 hours on the road) in a few weeks and was worried about my front end with road debris and all that. It looks like the 'ole 3M blue tape will suffice and do the job.

Even my TTE Lip doesn't fit in a bra, the RMM would be worse.
