      I use a clear tape made by Frost King for taping windows during the winter. Pretty inexensive and can be found in a hardware store or Home Depot.

        Interesting, how does it compare to other options out there? (thickness, pliability, residue, etc)

          It holds up ok, a lot cheaper and easier to work with than helicopter tape.  I have also used it on my F2000 cars.

            The Frost King tape can also be peeled off without damage.

      I have always been a big fan of using a clear paint protection on my vehicles. I kind of got to wondering if that might actually work well with this type of application? (the install is much different as you put it on wet)

      Anyone ever try this?
