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  |
I was beginning to think that I was alone in my opinion of clearbra covers . (And being new to the forum I was surprised to see so much attention given to protective film.)
When I was a little kid (50 years ago
) my grandmother bought new furniture for her living room. It was really nice, high end furniture. To keep it clean she covered it in plastic. The fabric stayed nice until the day she died . . . . but you could never really enjoy sitting on the sofa.
I know that clearbra covers work but I just can't stand the "orange peel" look and the edge lines. I guess I will be sorry when the first big rock takes a chunk out of my paint . . . .
