I bought some masking tape at Halfords last year.

Beware that it has a warning to remove it before 24 hours. You might not notice it, or might not believe it.

I left it on for 3 days and found it almost impossible to remove. Glue residue had gone hard and had to be scraped off with a knife and then the surface finish re-polished.

It's not like the good old 3M stuff.
