Brush on Clear protectant
I once saw a guy with a yellow Z06 brushing on a clear coat about as thick as paint stripper. It would dry, harden and then peel off after the event. It was in a container about the size of racing brake fluid or paint stripper. Anyone know what this is and where to get it?

I 've used this exact Latex product before on a Porsche Boxster S, purchased from Phil's.
It goes on milky white and dries to clear. If installed properly, it will be thicker and provide a little more impact cushioning from typical track debris then traditional 3M clear bras, though it's obviously not as permanent.
My suggestions :
- To avoid lumpiness or a 'brush stroke' texture, install it using a short-nap paint roller rather then a brush, and put it on in at least 3 pretty thick layers. Where I installed it too thinly, it was a nightmare to remove (came off like gummy buggers...).
- Avoid allowing the edges to feather/thin out, or the same removal issues will apply. Try to keep the edges well-defined and as thick as the rest of it. It can indeed be removed easily and in sheets if the whole treatment ends up thick.
- Let it dry for NO less then 24 hours before driving - especially if you may encounter rain during your travels. This stuff is somewhat water-soluble, so rain will cause some of it to either change back to white (which looks very weird) or bits can just come off completely. Extra curing time will help it adhere better.
Phil's will give you the same instructions as above when you buy it, so the basics are - RTFM and do what they tell you.
Hope that helps...

I use clear Contact Paper from Home Depot. Takes 1 roll to do the car. I have nearly 40 racing days on the car and not a single chip, scratch or mar. It's thicker than the clear bra I have on the front end.
Since I have a plastic car, it also makes a great place to put my numbers, underneath the contact paper.

There is a phone number shown on his site - I suggest you call it before ordering, just to make sure he still carries the stuff and is responsive to new orders.
Let us know how it goes...

I ended up ordering liquid latex from an Industrial plastic manufacturer for $47 a gallon. Haven't tried it yet, but should be the same stuff as on Phil's website.
