just make sure you write some 3 digit number in soap on a window somewhere so it 'looks' like your going to the track... if not ppl with think your a tool or something

When I got down there. I just had to take the tape off and bam! almost completely CLEAN car without stupid bugs being burned onto the front too. It takes hella time but you can have fun with it too![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

I'm going on a long road trip tomorrow. I plan on using painter's tape on the front end. Does it matter if the car is dirty or not when putting on painters tape? My car is a little bit dusty right now. Should I wash it first before sticking on painter's tape?

lol of course clean your car, everytime you leave the garage you should be CLEAN
besides if you got dirt under the tape, you'll just scratch the paint thus defeating the purpose of putting it on in the first place.

When I was at the IS-F track event last weekend, they taped the front lip of the car with painters tape in order to reduce scraping if cones were hit. This was a smart move. If there is residue, it can be removed with soapy water or Goo Gone.
