Clear bra th ewhole damn car?

em00guy · 11-07-2006, 10:34 AM

I'm getting a black 335 soon. And we all know the issues with black cars. SO, I was wondering if it is possible to put a clear bra on the whole car to protect against scratches?

It depends where you get it done; I know a place that'll do it in SoCal, but it's over 10K. Cheers.

Yes, you treat it as you would treat your paint.

You do wax/seal a clear bra, you do not machine polish it.

To some degree. You can still get deep rock chips and you still have to take care of the clearbra.
