    I need something for the interior of my new work car, a mazda cx5 (double the gas mileage from my old car )



    in the back there are all the plastic pieces I want to put something on so that later when I sell it, or no longer use it for work, I can peel it off and it will still look good...any ideas?



    will clear film work, or will it ruin the plastic?

    I don`t know if a film would stick to the texture well. Plasi-dip might be a good way to go.

    I cover vulernable areas of my dog-haulers with material from HatchBag (link: SUV Cargo Liner | Car Roof Top Carrier | Pet Barrier | Hatchbag Inc. ). You can buy the material uncut, in sheets up to 5` wide, too.



    Besides keeping things clean and protecting against the dog messes, the material protects the various surfaces when I haul equipment/etc. around.



    I`m absolutely sold on the stuff! When I dispose of my dog-haulers people are always saying things like "Gee, the interior looks just like new, it even still smells like a new car!" even though said vehicle has been hauling nasty stuff around for years :chuckle:

    I wish I had thought of this when I first got my HHR SS. I`ve been detailing out of it for a year and I have scuff marks all over the place. Now that I`m in the market for a work van I plan on selling my HHR.



    Good to know though for the next new car I get.

    Wow, I was just thinking about a way to protect everything. Especially since I detail out of a Bimmer wagon...

    Wrap it in Carbon Fiber vinyl? You get the racer look and the protection all in one shot



    I like the idea of that HatchBag material though, looks like it would be effective for sure.
