Function:
Yes, Tracwrap works, no doubt about it. I autocross with big sticky tires and the tend to fling rocks at the paint causing chips. I've had ZERO chips where I've placed the tape. I've installed and used on the track, course, and street without an issue.
Cost:
It's expensive. Let's be honest about it, you're paying to prevent paint chips so it's worth the price. Unfortunately it's not a permanent solution, so the price for use climbs rapidly. The long term solution is to a get a permanently installed paint protection film. I'd use this only to determine where you want the permanent film, and then get a local shop to install and be done with this repeating cost.
Installation:
The film isn't hard to apply, and after 3-4 times I've seen to have found "what works" on my car and the curves of where I'm installing. The "tool" (a piece of plastic with a felt like piece glued to it) works well to remove bubbles. It will NOT remove wrinkles. You need to have some tension in the film as you are laying it down, but you don't want to stretch the film. There is a fine balance required, but it's not hard to figure out. You should start with a clean surface and I'd work in small pieces (3' at most) the first few times you use this. As you get the feel for the tension vs. stretch you can cut longer pieces if required and get a near invisible install.
I am driving cross country and was stressing a bit about the possibility of paint chips occurring. The Tracwrap goes on easy has a thickness which will definitely help protect the paint.
Excellent. Easy to apply with great adhesion, lasted on a trip from Houston to Phoenix with no issues and no edges peeling up like some other brands. When removed it left NO residue unlike so other "wrap" brands. Will buy again for next vehicle transport!
Material worked as specified. The material stayed on for several track sessions on my last driving event. I then easy removed it when I got home. No residue. Not terribly easy to place I would get the wider wrap next time.
Husband has on fenders on truck. Will take off in spring.

Description
TRACWRAP is the first temporary paint protection film capable of stopping rock chips and the only temporary film that provides protection similar to a professionally installed clear bra for a fraction of the cost. TRACWRAP is made from tough 8mil (.0008″) urethane film - a substantial barrier that offers far more protection than masking tape of messy-to-apply spray-on products. Disclaimer: Do NOT install XPEL film on Porsche Headlamps, it can cause issues with delaminating.
did the job, protected the paint on a track day and a 2,400 mile cross country drive home. removed easily.
I have used this two times now transporting new cars over 100 miles home before they can have a permanent paint film applied with great results.
Great product, I use this trapwrap when I go to the track or on road trips. Goes on easy and comes off easy. Great product will definitely use again
