Hi, why not apply polish liberally to the front of your car then leave it, then buff it off when you arrive, this may offer some protection, (only cheap thing i could think of lol)

Dont want that mate, it will catch stones and things in it then if you try to takes it off it will scratch the paint.
I'm not concerned with how clean it will be, just chips on my new paint.
Think i will just use newspaper and masking tape
