Anyone used "Duplicolor Shield" for paint protection?
I just stumbled on this tonight. I figured 4 or 5 coats should build enough mil thickness for decent protection. Any of you guys have any experience with this?

Shield, from Dupli-Color, provides temporary spray-on protection for your vehicle where bugs and road grime can do damage. It’s ideal for the front end, rear quarter panel and rocker panels. Spray on Shield as a temporary bra for long road trips, quick mud flaps or as a bug guard. Shield sprays on easily and dries in less than a minute. And best of all, it stays on until you wash it off. You can power wash it off or use soap and water. Rain, snow or moisture in the air won’t affect it. This product leaves no residue on a vehicle’s paint. Give your vehicle the protection that it deserves with Shield.

I've used it to protect headlight lens and fog lights. It takes awhile for it to get hard enough to provide some protection but it does give some.
With the headlights and fogs blacked out it looks cool and people would always want to touch it. I had to keep an eye on things because when people touch it it comes off.
I had a hard time finding it but I finaly did find it at Wal-Mart...in the clearance ailse.

I've tried it. Made the mistake of using the black version on my pewter car. Looked like I did a bad job of spray painting over a body repair!
In general the product works as advertised. It stayed on even in the rain and washed off with a pressure washer or scrub brush.
Although it made washing the rubber streaks off a little easier, it has the same issue as painters tape, it really doesn’t protect against stone chips.
I taped the car for the first year, used this for the first couple weekends the second, and just accepted the fact the car is no longer a “waxer” for the third.

There is another product called TransSeal. I've seen a few of the PCA guys use it. They paint it on with a roller and it seems to be thicker.

Thanks for the reply's so far guys. I also ran across this today and it appears to be a better product. Anybody used this?
