0 70'sChevyGirl Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Play Dodge em!! I am hoping that the new peachy smelling wax job over the weekend will help to minimize the bugs sticking to my paint. Bugs love my windshield at 70 mph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Team Adam's Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Its always helpful to lay down a few more coats of your preferred protectant on the front end. So whatever wax you're using, lay some more on the front to build up some layers. It won't keep the bugs from sticking, but it will make cleaning them off easier and safer for your paint.

0 Chewy Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Clear bra on my G8 and like it! I'd love it if I didn't have to clean the wax off around the edge... lol We will see how it acts with the bug crap. Not had a bug hit the car. It'd be frozen if it had... Ugh...

0 livingwater Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I use my detail spray and microfiber cloth to remove the bugs after every time I drive. I usually clean my vette with the detail spray 3 times a week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree 100% which is why I have the clear bra which is stuck on with adhesive. If it was a show car I wouldn't have installed it but it's not so I did. It really protects the front a ton!

I've seen the clear bra up close and it looked 100 times better than I thought it would have. If the guy hadn't pointed it out, I wouldn't have seen it. I sure didn't at first glance.

0 Superdutytd Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 There are some that are exceptional and some that aren't. One of my friend's turbo porsche's has the CLEANEST looking install I've ever seen. I don't know if its just thin or what but you have to looking really hard to find it.

I don't know if its just thin or what but you have to looking really hard to find it. Mines not all that. Looks like a smooth orange peel. From several feet away you can't see it and on a lighter car it'd probably be even harder but on black EVERYTHING is visible... My goal was to keep the front end looking good. It'll do.

We are talking about cars "right":D I'm starting to wonder :lol: I've got clear bras on both of my vehicles and I love them. Great protection, virtually unnoticable, and I can get them to shine as much as the paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Team Adam's Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I'm actually going to start pricing a clear bra for my Corvette. Now that I'm running coil overs I'm even LOWER to the ground meaning I'm more of a target for road rash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Superdutytd Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 My truck and my dad's Tahoe has the clear bras. They go on all of our new vehicles now! I'm planning on replacing my Mustang's hood/front bumper so I'm waiting on it but it does have 26,000 miles on it so i'm not going to worry about it.
