Clear bra for your G?
#46
The reason I am just "somewhat" happy is because I have a white car. What happened was that I was wiping down the front and found an half inch wide yellow spot on the shield protecting the lower lip. I couldn't get it out, the surface was smooth. It was my 2nd day of driving after the installation. I took it back to the guy, he said that something I hit, a bug or something, caused the chemical reaction. He said it actually happens on every car, but on white, it shows....
I guess that's why on the Ventureshield warranty card, it specifically said that you have to take care of your shield as described, else it is not covered for "White" car. Just for white car...nothing else...

Don't sweat it.. I've had many stains in clearbra, caused by bugs, or even a sappy tree leaf. Let the sun bleach it right back out again, & you are good to go. I've never seen a stain last more than 2 weeks. (If you park it indoors all the time, it may not go away though.)

Oh, one more piece of information, the surface feels silky smooth now...just the black smudge still there...

Any idea what caused the smudge? Did it seem like road tar, or?? If it is a oil based stain, you can use a solvent, like 3m's adhesive remover. Don't let it sit on there for a long time, but just dab it on with a paper towel & wipe it away. If it doesn't go away that way, then again let the sun work on it.

I think I need your help again. I saw some black smudge on my bumper, feels oily,so I try to clean it with water first, it is 90% gone. But, the last 10%, I try rub it harder, couldn't get it out. Try using quick detailer, no use. I am getting that sick feeling again, should I use mild detergent next? Need help...it seems like the bra is harder to maintain then the paint...

Adhesive Remover? Is it same as alcohol like the other said? I only have rubbing alcohol at home, so that's what I am trying next...

Its an easy fix. Take a microfiber rag and some isopropyl alchohol. Dab the rag onto the black spot. Do not rub it or try adn scrub it off. The alchohol will go into the film and then lift out the smudge when it evaporates. Let it soak in and then let it sit for a while. Then come back and wipe off with a detailer. You really need to get a good sealant for your clear bra. I have found Zaino works really well.. and I personally use an acrlic polish/sealant on mine. Over the last year I have been using it and giving it to my clients with their installs... and it prevents the film from staining.
One thing I notice though, cause I tried to dab some alchohol on a piece of extra shield I have first, it left some marks on it without rubbing or anything. But, I thought it is probably less noticeable than the smudge...
Anything else I can do? Right now it is not very noticeable, but it's night time, I only have limited fluorescent light...
Thanks for your advise.

Ok, I tried to use alchohol. I just let it sit there for a minute, and then wipe it off. Maybe it's too quick, it didn't seem to work.

I just got one yesterday. I got it through my dealer in Chicago. I could not find anyone close by, so I went to them. Normally they try to sell you one when you buy the car, but the person that normally does that was not there when I was getting mine, so they did not. I paid $695 for a Ventureshield bra, which seems in line with what others have paid.

So I pick up my new wheels on Saturday and I have an appointment that afternoon to drop off the car to get ventureshielded. A couple quick questions...
1. Is it a lot more to cover the whole hood?
2. Is it worth covering the whole hood?
3. Does it look good/bad to cover the whole hood?
I do want to protect the paint but I also want the car to look beautiful...
4. Do they apply the venture shield to the front bumper and rear bumper? One of my biggest pet peeves is when parallel parkers bump cars getting in and out and scuff up the bumpers
5. Lastly, how should I protect the doors from dings? Dealer was offering $1400 plan to protect against dings but that is way too much in my opinion. The plan only last 3 years too.
Thanks
