Hey,

So this is really a two part question. I have a 09 G37S with a 3M clear bra, I washed the car once and now the clear bra has swirls... not a swirl on the paint.

Is there any way to restore this, or anyway to help not let it happen anymore?

Also what is the best/safest way to wash the car to not allow for any swirls?

Wow. I have to say I have never heard of any clear bra film gtting swirl marks in them from just normal washing. 3M can be lightly buffed with a real fine polish to remove swils. I would recommend you go to your installer though to get his advice.

I have been installing clear bras for years and have never seen an issue such as you describe. I would have to say you are doing something wrong when you wash your car. If you use plenty of soap and a soft rag you should never get swirl marks. Swirl marks have to becaused by something abrasive... sand, dirt, bug guts, rough rags... so you had to have rubbed something ruff over the bra. Talk to a local detailer to get some tips for washing your car. I also use a leaf blower to dry the vehicle. It gets all of the water out of the cracks and if you have enough wax on the car you will not get any spots either.

 

I've had 3M on my G since 12/06 with no swirls. I use a micofiber sponge to wash and a chamois to dry. I also use Zaino products FWIW.
