Well, duh! I prepped my car (only a little) for an autox yesterday for an event I thought was today only to find out it's next Sunday. Got my magnetic numbers ready (change from AS to SS) since this is the first time with the CS. Pumped up the air all round by 2 lbs., got the tank down to 1/4, and TAPED the front clip corners to ward off cone marks. Came back home after I got there and found I had screwed up. The tape I used was 3M automotive duck tape which came right off, but left a lot of residue. After and hour of bug/tar remover, washing and waxing, the residue is gone. Is there a better tape to use? Something that does the job but doesn't leave the sticky goo or at least as much of it. I don't want to go the "bra" route (still have an unused black RX-8 bra in the garage if anyone is interested). I've autoxed cars for the last 6 years, Miata, RX-8 and Z4, without any problem, but the CS has more front-end than any of the others and seems to me to be prone to collect marks like the Elise a friend runs.
