Default Anyone have any suggestions for a quality heat wrap?

I'm wanting to wrap my pipes. Anyone have a good product review? Lots of brands out there, I want a good one.

Thanks.

I've wrapped twice now. The first time was with an expensive wrap and the second was with a cheaper one from ebay. Form my experience, I believe the important part is not so much the wrap as it is the spray coating you put on when finished. I didn't coat the first time and they looked like crap after no time at all. This last time I sprayed them came out the same, however, they still look great after a couple thousand miles.

What kind of spray are you talking about? Just regular spray paint or heat resistant? Thanks!
