Scratches on Clear Bra
#22
I've seen Jeremy's car up close. His entire front (all of his hood, fenders, bumper, 1/4 of roof and mirrors) have clear-bra. I would trust his word on this.

The Plexus got my clear bra clean and shiny but didn't help any any scratches. Kind of like how waxing a cars paint won't take out a scratch either, only make the car's paint shinier. Polish it like the rest of the paint.
As far as why it bothers us, that's just a stupid comment. Why we got it is to protect the cars finish and keep our car looking great just like everyone else. I've never seen anyone ask why a scratch in the paint bitters the owner, so why do you think it would be any less bothersome to have a big scratch on your car with a clear bra? I guess some people just care less than others about their car's appearance.

Cool. That's good to hear. I must be thinking of the clear bras that don't have a "hard coat" on top of them. I know Ventureshield's used to be like that up until a little while ago, but I don't know if any of the clearbras around now don't have it.

Light scratches on the clear bra can be buffed out the same way as when they are on your clear coat, use a Porter Cable or something similar with some rubbing compound...Worked like a charm for me just like the installers of the clear bra said it would. Did your installer not give you this wonderful bit of information??

90% of installers will recommend AGAINST polishing, because all they do is install it. They don't maintain it.

Not sure I agree here. Sure you need to consider what kind of film, but typical clear bra materials used these days are fine to polish. If you have something like Llumar, 3M, Avery-Dennison, etc film you are fine to polish.

I look at it this way though, at least its in the film and not on the paint. Much easier to replace a piece of film than to have a panel repainted.
