They're air fresheners, they suck but I just use them when it rains hard and the car smells from the mold/etc

What did you use exactly the fabric or the sticker?
I used the sticker material...

I wonder if that 3m dinoc would be good to wrap the shifter console and the radio bezel. The factory paint is chipping but i really don't wanna paint them.

you can so the other poster is just posting BS.

the adhesive is fully removable, and a little goo gone and elbow grease could clean it up.
the 3m stuff has the same adhesive as vinyl... we've seen large racing stripes down cars and i've never seen that damage a vehicle (only problem is the rest of the car's paint fading around it!)

if it is completely removable, it wouldnt be such a bad idea to use on a new car to protect the paint.
