tracking with expel on front end for protection

IrvineTim · 11-22-2016, 05:48 PM

Wondering if anybody has tracked their car with Expel on the front end for protection. Wondering how it held up. If it gets beat up and looks crappy afterwards.

Holds up very very well. Makes the chunk of tires come off easily with no damage. Look fine afterwards.

thank you.
no damage to it from all the little rocks on track either? Do the rubber tire marks come off with soap and water?

I have Suntek on the front end and I use either a plastic cleaner spray they gave me or I'm sure the Mother's race car cleaner would work great on all those rubber globs that end on it after a track day.

Whatever little rocks hit it just got absorbed and then healed. The tire marks came off with a rubbing alcohol solution that we use. I’ve also used detailing clay before when I had it really bad.

Xpel holds up well. I find using Stoner Tarminator takes off the rubber very easily.

Mother's works very well getting the boogers off. I have Avery film on the front end of my car and no issues.

I've had Xpel 2 track seasons and it holds up very well. One larger rock broke through a portion in the lower bumper but that's the only damage

We xpel everything- works GREAT

Many people who track their cars will put XPEL's Trac Wrap on top of it just for the event/track to protect the film.

you can also try this too, it's way cheaper than the xpel one. I used it for a weekned last year. It rained the day i put it on too but the tape still held up great for the whole weekned. did not leave any kind of residue when took it off either.
