BLACKHOLE ACCESSORIES
Interior Panel Protection Tape IPPT 9.4″
Protect high-touch interior surfaces during installs. Prevent scratches, scuffs, and costly “oops” moments.
Every install should start with protection
BH IPPT is wide interior protection tape designed to shield sensitive vehicle surfaces from scratches, tool marks, and accidental scuffs during installation work.
Steering wheels, center consoles, door sills, door seals, and trim edges are the most common areas that get damaged when pulling panels, routing wiring, or doing radio and DSP upgrades.
One interior scratch can cost more than a lifetime supply of IPPT. Add this to every new car install quote. The customer will thank you and the shop owner will too.

Best practices
- Start clean. Wipe surfaces so the tape bonds evenly and removes cleanly.
- Cover the contact zones. Protect where panels, tools, and elbows actually touch.
- Use wide coverage. Overlap slightly on seams and edges to prevent gaps.
- Replace as you go. If it gets dirty or wrinkled, refresh the strip for a clean finish.
- Remove slowly. Peel back at a low angle to keep edges clean and avoid lifting trim.
Use IPPT for making panel templates, especially when doing CLD damping with Blackhole MAT. Lay IPPT on the panel, mark and cut your template lines, then transfer to your CLD sheet. You will get perfect fits every time and save up to 50% on labor time.
