Ok... I'm wondering anyone has used this stuff... I don't have a 3M clear bra... yet... and I'm going on a very long road trip in a few weeks (San Angelo, TX to Bangor, Maine)... I'm bound to get rock chips and more. This stuff claims to be a protective barrier and washes off with a pressure washer... w/o washing off in rain. I'm just concerned it will leave stains of some type... I have a labrador black model. Any input?

 

I was also wondering the same thing

 

haven't used that product, but look on ebay for a bra , i have one looks nice ,i like it with more that without ,not to noticable black on black ....or you could go to the stealership...

 

i actually have a bra... i bought it online... and when i brought to a dealership they said it was only for the 04-05 models... so yeah its collectign dust in the box. oh well

 

nothing better then acouple of guys talking about how their bras fit.

sorry i just couldnt help myself.

 

those bras do more damage than good since they will hold dust, rain, etc under them and vibrate against the body something fierce at highway speeds.. You wil get scratcehs from them... At least I have in the past adn will never use one again....

 

Uhhh... not kind of bra. I think you are talking about those big black fabric ones you velcro on to the front of the car?!!!

The 3M one is like a giant, thin, clear, decal you attach to the lower hood and bumper. The idea behind it is that road debris will take nicks and scratches out of it instead of the paint. Then every year, you just pull it off and put a new one on thus saving your paint.

I've seen pics of old ones coming off and it's amazing how much pitting they take!!! The Dupli-Color one I guess is a spray-on, but I haven't heard any feedback on these either.

 

so like a giant sticker? Hrmm, never seen one, but that would be nice to keep the rock chips and bugs off...

 

I have herd of the 3m clear bras but can't find them on ebay or 3m's website

 

This company sells the 3m Invisible Mask (see link below). There are several terms for the clear paint protection film. Invisishield, clearshield, invisible bra.
I had a clearshield on my Eclipse. Good stuff, but you can see the edge lines really good on darker cars.

I haven't heard about or seen anyone use the duplicolor stuff.....although I am curious to see how it works.

 

are u kidding me... the 3m stuff actuall peels off every year? at 400 an application?

i think ill take the rocks and nicks...

 

My 3m clear bra has a lifetime warranty on it so I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to be pulled up every year. They replace it for free if anything goes wrong with it.

 

I think he's talking about this stuff.

 

yea red x's

 

ohhh check, gotcha
