Hi,
I'd like to protect some parts of my car, only for the winter.
I already have Xpel film for the entire front (bumper and full hood/fender).
But last winter I noticed that the paint between the door and rear wheel gets a beating (it's at an angle).
So I'd like to put tape there, but only for the winter, because I hate that you see the edge if you only do a small section. Maybe also do the front of the roof.

So I need something that would be easy to remove in the spring.
I saw VVivid film on amazon. Did someone use it? It's like a quarter of the price of the 3M. But does it still protect enough against rock, and will I curse at it when I remove it?
