I'm thinking of trying a can of 3M Paint Defender spray-on paint protectant. Never used it before...

Figured I try it first on a rear view mirror to see if it's satisfactory. I plan on peeling it all off when I return from my trip.

BIL used it on the hood of his truck a couple of years back... total pain in the ass to remove.
YMMV.

You will have a lot of fun removing that cooked up tape adhesive from there.

LOL, @ a glance I didn't notice it was painters tape as I always only use the green stuff. Makes sense, but when that heats up in the sun you are likely to get some adhesion transfer. May be more grief than good!

I don't bother.

Curious, while the tape job looks nice, why you didn't cover up the black plastic sections of the nose and valance?

Yeah, I happened to look at few videos about the spray on and decided to use transport wrap instead.
The spray stuff is more labor intensive and requires 3 coats to cure properly. Air bubbles and a light application apparently make it tough to remove.
Transport wrap supposedly is a tad better than a roll of track wrap, so I'll give it a shot for road trip front end use.

Click bait title lol. I thought you were going to regale us with stories of you slaying tang on a road trip whilst responsibly protecting your gentleman sausage from crotch rot. I’m disappointed
