Suggestions for temporary front end paint protection for long road road trip...like BRBS?

Temporary protection from bug guts, rock chips, tar sand, and other road debris. Does anyone have experience with temporary solutions to protect the front end of cars not worthy of expensive clear bra protection?? Ease of application, simple to remove, doesn't wash off in rain, not too ugly, and actually offers some real protection are all concerns.

Here are several possibilities:

Road Warrior Plus [madshadowcustompaint.com] or [www.roadwarriorplus.com]

Road Wrap [www.buyroadwrap.com]

Wolfs [www.detailersdomain.com]

Plasti Dip [www.dipyourcar.com] same rubbery stuff that's on handles of some tools and comes in clear; reports say it's very durable

"A mile of highway will take you one mile. A mile of runway will take you anywhere."

... watch out for Road Gators. Those dont' just buff right off.
I'd thought you'd go commando!
But of all the suggested products, I personally like the PlastiDip in ORANGE.

I just did some research on the same and it seems like Plasti Dip is favored across a number of car forums. It appears to be identical to Armour All's Custom Shield Coating protection product but a lot less expensive. I have not found anyone locally who has used any of these however. Plasti Dip has a number of videos out and it looks like it is very easy to apply and remove. It comes in clear (what I am interested in) as well as a number of colors. If you proceed it would be great for you to share a write-up and some pictures!
