Years ago, people put those clear plastic covers on their sofas, especially their white sofas. I never understand that reasoning of living within a musuem. When do you actually get to enjoy your sofa?

Driving in white cars out west, I realized that after a thousand mile or so, particularly in Montana, white cars, literally, became black with bugs embedded in the paint. The vinyl bras did help with the bags but had their own issues with paint scratching and paint hazing if left on wet.

I'm not a fan of the clearbra on the bonnet or fenders. No matter what anyone says, I can see the lines and I hate those lines. And so I didnt have the bonnet done. Rather, I have the clear bra where the bra, IMO, should be ... on the bottom that gets the vast majority of the bugs and dings. If you actually looked at the car, there are no seams.

And one day, I too will probably take that plastic sofa cover off and "enjoy" the paint
