What are protection tapes used for?

Protection tapes can be used in any situation you want to preserve a surface and prevent damage. Examples might include areas around doors, painted surfaces close to heat sources such as engines, and areas of paintwork that might encounter debris – such as the lower edge of a car body. In particular, this type of tape can also help to protect adjacent body panels when buffing, sanding or grinding.

Protection tapes will absorb the heat or impacts from objects and stop them from affecting the underlying surface. Over time, the tape will degrade and need to be replaced.
