Default Header Wrap Protective Paint?

I want to wrap my exhaust but am afraid that it will get all nasty from the weather. Has anyone ever heard of or used this protective exhaust wrap paint?

Use the paint. It works great. I used it on my car and it seems to make the wrap more resistent to fraying and getting dirty.

Exactly. Love it. Headers, dp, midpipes, everything wrapped and treated with thermo tech paint. We'll continue to use it.

Do you guys have trouble with it burning off? I bought the black DEI wrap/spray, and it will change colors over about 1,000 miles to the tan color. I usually resrpay it at that point. If I dont keep it painted it will start falling apart if I bump the wrap on anything.
