Interesting I'd never heard of it before so was bit skeptical of someone putting sticky stuff on my baby , but you'd recomend IT obviously

Absolutely, a vehicle up here with wrap after 3-4 years can still look new, where one without needs a paint job.

My brother contacted me and wants to trailer to Alaska in a few years.


Would you consider a "wrap" a necessity for the drive up?


What other, besides the rear fenders would you recommend? The whole truck?

Hope I'm not being to nosey, but what does a clear wrap like that cost? Also, what happens if the clear becomes cloudy? My cousin's motorhome has clear wrap on the front and it now looks like crap. He's afraid that removing it will pull off the paint.

Cost depends on who is doing it. 50 grand ford with full frontage protection will cost $1500, the aholes down at Benz will charge twice as much just because the car cost more. Pulling the wrap is no issue. The paint will be fine. It will look brand new underneath. Is wrapping a necessity, no, but it will make whatever you've wrapped look newer, longer. If done right it will look new for years, with an occasional piece to be replaced here and there. My new Cedar Creek 5er will be wrapped on the front, and lower wear points for sure.

Except when you hit a giant hole and the fifth wheel went airborne and destroyed Theresa's dresser?
