Heat shrink tubing is actually the preferred method.
Tape is unreliable as when the glue dries out, it can come off.

Shrink tubing is a much better way to insulate wiring . Just be sure that the wires are not going to rub on anything when your all finished .Tie the wire up and out of the way hooking it to other wiring works lots of the time. If possible you should run the wire through plastic conduit for added protection.

Ideally soldering then heat shrink wires is the best. It makes the wire a lot harder to pull apart.
Crimped wires with butt connectors is also good as well.

Great stuff and YES, it is a great alternative. Not affected by daily temps in a car like the glue on black tape is. Go for it

yes you can but be careful not to heat it too much you can melt the shrink tube easily

You sure can, and SO much less messy than electrical tape.
