A couple of cautions regarding clear bra:

#1) I had this installed on my car (partial hood and fenders). When I took the car to the track, I covered a few other areas with track tape and overlapped the bra. The tape discolored the film and it turned yellow. The track tape was only on the car for the weekend. Be careful if you tape over the film!

#2) When I decided to remove the film since I didn't like the yellowing, it was a royal pain in the a$$. It took hours and I tried all kinds of solvents/cleaners. Then the good part.....there were a few areas where it had adhered so strongly to the paint, that it pulled the paint from the car!

I have clear bra on one of my other cars and am now afraid to remove it since it is starting to get worn and look bad and really needs replaced.

After all these issues, I am not sure if I would use clear bra again or not......(at least not on a white car).
