Yes, David, I am using some wrap on my car now; it is called Thermo-Tec.
Discussions on this List a fair # of months ago depicted a consensus that this
product retains heat to the point where the structural integrity of the headers
might be compromised. This might be in extreme situations, though. My mildly
driven car has had no problems, and the car runs cool. I may, however remove
it this winter in favor of a header coating; you're right the wrap really is
unsightly.
