[DeTomaso] Invisible Bra

[Tom Shinrock]

 I have owned a 944 Turbo for 23 years and the film behind the front wheels and in front of the rear wheels didn't yellow.   Over the years it did get nicked up and rough but, as I understand it, the film can be removed with a heat gun without damaging the paint and new film applied.   I personally never tried it because I had the car repainted 10 years ago and new film put on.

Remember the yellowed and eventually black cracked patches on Porsche 944 cars?
I used Helicopter tape on race cars (nose area) before, it helped, but it was ugly.
I know that there is newer stuff that isn't supposed to yellow, but it hasn't been around long enough to be proven as such yet.

As a lot of you know, I got my car repainted after getting it repaired from hitting a sheet of particle board on the drive to Phoenix this spring.  Now that the car is all shiney again I was wondering if anyone has tried putting that clear plastic film that they use for invisible bras behind the rear wheels where the back of the car gets all chewed up from rocks and things flung off the rear tires.   I've never seen or heard of anyone doing this and I wonder if it is because of the heat produced by the muffler/tailpipes (Pre L).  I was also thinking about putting the film on the lower portion of the hood up to the vent grills.

Any ideas or advice on the best way to ward off future paint nicks would be appreciated.

Thanks,
