Bumper protection film - spray on or sheet.

    I need something to protect the front bumper of a car from paint damage due to other people parking right up against the bumper. I've seen some sheets of clear film that can be applied but the bumper has lots of curves and angles so it might be tricky to apply. However, I've also found some aerosol cans of film that you spray on and let dry.

    Has anyone any experience of this type of product?

    Or would getting a clear wrap on parts of the bumper be a better option? Any suggestions where I could get this done in Dublin?

    Helicopter tape. Put it on using a hair dryer/heat gun to soften it to mould around the curves/bends.

    I would imagine the spray-on stuff is akin to PlastiDip as it's removeable. You'd need heavy coats of it and IMO you may have highs and lows once it dries.

    I would be going for the clear wrap-style film and get it applied by a professional.
