An Audi s4 avant followed me through the Dartford tunnel the other night and I wondered what weird coloured wrap it had on it,  then it past me and the whole front end and front of the roof had green detailing/masking tape on. I can understand doing shut lines etc when doing 1/4 miles but this was like the mk5 at the top, stupid if you ask me

the purpose of it is to prevent stone chips on long journeys down the motorway....i wouldnt say its stupid if you ask me...id say its taking care of your paintwork.

It is not for stone chips. it is basically for flies and dirt, you cant wash your car once you get to the show but most people still try using detailing spray so this saves you doing it.
I also ran out of blue tape once, going to Inters. I have pics somewhere.  :laugh:

I bet the insurance company of that Avant would try their best to riggle out of a payout in situation the of an RTA.
I know its probably more visbable, but I'd put money on them not coughing up.
