Questions about clear bra
1. Does it fade or discolor over time?
2. Do you wash/seal/wax your car the same with it on as you would w/p it on? 3. Is it really noticeable so much that its annoying to the owner? 4. And when you do wash your/seal/wax your car with it on, does any sediment, wether it be dirt or product, get stuck in between the edge of the bra and the car? If people could help me with these it'd be great for me to finally justify getting it when I get my car. |

RobLS... Search the forum for some of my pics, I have the clear bra on the car. The clear bra will not fade over time if its properly maintained. You wash/wax seal just as you would normally do. I use Zaino products and just use the Zaino on the clear bra. If you use wax, you will have to use a q-tip and remove excess from the edge of the clear bra.
It is not annoying, I can now pass an 18 wheeler on the freeway and have the confidence I'm protected. Also, with all the bug hits up front, I don't have to worry about my paint being stained. I have "OCD" when it comes to my car and I love the clear bra, I think I would go crazy without it on the car, its money well invested. Do IT!!!!!!!!!! |

Amen. It's not like we are buying a Suburban here. The 1 has a small footprint to wash. Do it yourself :smile:

I was quoted by Steve Perez in Houston, $295 for just front bumpers and $495 on bumper, hood and mirrors. I am just going to get the bumpers done. I don't like the line across the hood.

My father in law and I have had them on a few cars between us.
a) They do work b) You can see them But I am again seriously considering them for the 128i, it's a small sacrifice compared to the cost of getting a real nice paint job to clean up all the chips later on. However, the paint on my leased E90 has withstood the road far better than my wife's Mitsi Outlander, both without bras, the mitsi has huge chips where the paint has flaked off, and marks far worse than the BMW.

Im getting the front of the car done this week using 3M's product on a AW 135. Im considering going the whole bonnet as im not too happy with having a line
Im told the film will NOT yellow and with proper maintenance the car paint wont fade either underneath it. |
