I found a similar product at Home Depot. It's in the moving supplies department and is used to protect carpet during a move. Handy if you're on an extended road trip where there's a pretty good chance of picking up a lot of nicks and what have you. Less dorky than blue tape. I don't know that I would go through the effort unless you're doing a coast-to-coast or a bunch of 500 mi. days in a row.

If I drive any of my vehicles to a concours I use this-
Temporary Surface Protection

Protect your paint on a long road trip with this easy-to-apply film is a disposable wrap that protects any surface from bugs, oil, tar, dirt and more. It's an inexpensive alternative to bras that may harm your paint when dirt or moisture gets trapped under them. Easy to install, the adhesive side is strong enough to stick to any clean surface yet removes cleanly and won't harm your paint. May be cut to fit any vehicle or surface and can be left on for up to seven days. Yes, it looks quite messy when in place (don't expect a perfect, non-wrinkled application) 18" wide role is 100' long. Cutting tool included - Groit’s Garage

An alternative is Plasticdip
