Default 1998 Accord Front End Bra and Paint Problem

I ordered a bra from tas auto (we'll see how it turns out). Just wanted to know, although I'm sure it will have instructions, how are they usually put on and of course what is the time span for leaving them on, properly cleaning them and the car after taking it off (unless you clean it while it's on the car first).

I plan on only using it for road trips which would be a day or two kind of deal. Whenever I take one.

And as for the paint...the side guard on the door (idk what you call it, it wards away dings if someone opened their door into yours?) on the front of one the paint is peeled off some, looks like I can grab some and tear it off kind of deal. Any ideas how to stop it from potentially getting worse?

Thanks to anyone that responds!

I can't speak for the Accord, but I had one on one of my sports cars a while back and it was easy to put on/off. The thing to watch out for is you want to install it right so the bra does not flap in the wind as you drive. As dust, dirt, and other debris gets embedded in the fabric, it will act like sandpaper against your paint. Take it off and wash it once in a while. You also should take it off after it's been in the rain - that gives everything a chance to dry off.
