Dealer wants $1200 for clear bra!

also, just for ANYONE curious about this. if your car ALREADY has paint damage and chips, if you do minor touch-up it sort of half *** hides it, but then if you put a clear bra on AFTER that...... you cant see the damage at all until your face is literally 4 inches from the car. it hides the pre existing damage incredibly well, and ive been informed by several professional installers "i consulted prior to doing it myself" and they said as long as you didnt do a half *** job applying the touch-up paint, when the bra is removed it will NOT tear the new paint out of the chips.

Local detail shop quoted me $620 for nose, hood, door edges, mirrors. Pre-cut 3M Scotchguard. 5 year warranty against yellowing or peeling. I was persuaded to go with the Scotchguard by internet reputation, installer recommendation (he also I stalks Ventureshield and Xpel), and videos like this one.
