    What exactly is that?

    Is it jelly that is made in Kentucky?

    If nothing else, it could provide me with a chance to get more experience buffing out some of my friends cars. It is pretty stupid and petty. But boys will be boys.

    If the paintwork is hot, saran wrap can melt. I've seen it on a client's Audi A4 1.8T which did not have heat insulation and there was etching. Beware...

    I thought Saran Wrap was optional clothing for girls.

    Sometime ago some guys used shrink wrap on a car, it was nice and hot out and it did 'shrink' breaking the antenna off and on removal it broke the rear window wiper off.

    I have seen several cars entering car show gates with saran wrap on the front ends of their cars to keep the bugs and road grime off on the way to the show. After they are parked in their space, they remove the wrap and a quick detail wipe and they are all set.

    Seems like more of a hassle to actualy do..... too much effort for a prank that a pair of scissors will remove in seconds.

    Why would someone think it's COOL to do that?

    Correct.

    If the finish on your car is polished to perfection but not spotlessly clean, and someone wraps your car with plastic wrap, it's almost guaranteed that in some way, during the applying or removal process, dirt on the car is going to be ground-into the paint.

    Hope this kind of prank doesn't happen to any of our members or our members customer's cars.
