That's the thing. None of the reasons it has been repainted would have been prevented by clearbra.

I don't understand the love affair with clear bras... Either you get screwed up paint, or you get a screwed up clear bra.

A clear bra costs about as much as it does to repaint the bumper.

Personally I'd rather just re-spray the bumper cover every 2-3 years than deal with a clear bra. IMO, clear bra is really only helpful for cars that don't see much driving to begin with. On a DD or something that's driven at least 10K a year, a clear bra is going to look like crap in a short period of time.

Not even worth it to respray prior to a sale. It's not worth it to pay for a professional detail, either. You won't get the money you spend back in added value.

Hill's postponed until Monday so I can deal with some personal stuff. Actually works out ok because I spoke to Suzanne and she said they would rather take me next week anyway.

jpkirk · 10-16-2014, 03:25 PM
