Stumbled upon an alternative to Cleartastic
I stumbled upon an alternative to Cleartastic paint protection product. A 6 inches x 7' roll of 8 mil clear plastic paint protection film for $50 bucks. I have no review of how it performs compared to Cleartastic but judging by how the site brags on it, it just could be a good and somewhat cheaper alternative. It is not precut but that would be what I would prefer as I want to put it in places no one cuts ready made. Not sure about the rules in posting a link so I won't risk making a mistake. Post here if your interested in researching this product and I'll get the link to you in an email. Be aware I have updated this original post with a corrected size of the product. 6 inches by 7 foot.

Hi HUBBSFD -
Just FYI - you can buy Avery static cling vinyl in rolls for around $16 - search google for it.
I have a roll.
best regards -

THANKS for the info. What I'm finding under a search for Avery static cling states the product is not for outdoor use. It does say it is 8 mls but I'm also concerned about static cling at high speed driving.

thanks for the link bud...
only problem i see with this, is that i thought it was a 6 FOOT by 7 FOOT sheet... this is for a 6 INCH by 7 FOOT sheet... which is far too thin to do any real protecting without multiple lines being cut.
good try, and it is a good price... but 6 inches is too short in width. needs to be 6x7 feet. then it would rock!
