Post 3M clear bra

I was just wondering if any of you guys in here have use the 3M clear bra on your car? Especially for those of you who have a nice paint on your car.

3M clear bra: a plastic that use to put over the head of the car to protect paint. Use along with tools to make it visible.

I just thought it was cool stuff to have done on a nice paint job car...
what do you guys think???

^^^ your post is completely irrelevant to this thread. He is referring to a clear, vinyl sheeting that is placed on the front of the car to protect from bugs, rock chips, road grime and so forth... I have never used the 3M, Lumar also makes this type of product. I would imagine after a while, the vinyl would also pit from rock chips and become ugly and useless, then you'll absolutely have to repaint after you remove that crap.

i dont like using any bra, let the paint do what its meant to do, if it gets bad, repaint the car, bra defeats the purpose of getting nice looking paint
