Default RE: Bra or film for protection

I got a Colgan two piece bra and used it for a couple of days. So far so good. Even in a severe rain storm.

The car looks a bit more sinister: both the car and bra are black, but the bra hides some of the chrome. It looks good to me.

I will use it when appropriate. Thanks for the advice.

I used the Calgon bra on my 95 S500 Coupe. After about a month of used in the California sun i noticed that it had "stained" the hood and the fenders - wound up repainting the whole front end. Talk about a $3500.00 mistake!!

I've been using the Colgan bra on and off for 14,000 miles, mostly on long trips. I only put it on after washing the car and always have a coat of wax on the paint. I use the delicate cold water cycle with sudsy car wash detergent to clean the bra components and so far so good. It has caught a million bugs and saved a few chips. I take it off when the car gets dirty and don't use it around town.

The car is black and has no discernable scratches from the bra so far. I'm sure its not perfect, but for me, the bra does its job.

Cool. Use it correctly, as you do, and it will be your friend.
