Anyone doing Carlisle this spring? P&S and/or Import & Kit Nationals?

This sounds mildly familiar and accurate.

I'm bringing up waterless wash and detail spray. That should do for touch ups. You can just use mine.

Did you plan on waxing it just before you make the trip? That should help the bugs come off more easily, and I believe you want a coat of wax on there if you're going to use the waterless wash.

Painters tape the front bumper.

Good coat of wax and some detailing spray and microfiber cloths should make it easier to remove the bugs. Just let the spray soak in to their little bodies for a few and they should wipe right off. Hit it again with the detailing spray and again with dry cloth and should be good as new.

i'll probably end up waxing it this weekend or next weekend so that will help.

So uh, Check this sh*t out. If this stuff works...

3M Paint Defender Spray Film with synthetic wax - Sprayable Paint Protection Film, 90000 - 3M Auto

It's basically spray-on clearbra o_O

ZCarMan · 04-26-2013, 05:01 PM

Interesting, how much?

dmhenderson · 04-26-2013, 05:03 PM

Looks like about $25 per can

I figured it wouldn't be inexpensive but I'm interested in if it really works or not. Since I already have a clear bra installed I wouldn't need it but for someone who doesn't want to spend a lot of money, this could be useful if it truly works.

dmhenderson · 04-26-2013, 05:22 PM

Yeah I don't want to be the guinea pig but I would use the hell out of this if it works
