While cleaning and waxing my car today, I thought, "Gee, wouldn't it be great if I could just do this once and for all, and then seal it in?"

Then I started thinking about clear bra solutions, and wondered if after doing an intense detail (wash twice, clay/get bug guts off, polish, polish, polish, sealant, etc.), would getting the whole car clearbra'ed preserve that look for as long as the film was on the car?

tl;dr After detailing my car, can I completely clear bra and never have to polish/wax/seal again? Obviously, I'd still have to wash every week or so, but that's definitely less tedious than the other stuff.

Ive heard there is glass act coating for the car, which works like clear bra. Didnt do research about it but its pretty popular in korea

I get the idea of clear bra...but I've never liked them. Maybe on the bumper because they get so beat up, but I personally really don't like them...particularly on the hood. Like xyz said most turn yellow, but even new they don't have the same shine and feel of a well taken care of paint.

For many years (twenty plus) my polymer sealant of choice was Klasse (an acrylic polymer) I then converted to Zaino and used it for approx fifteen years, but my coating of choice today is a nanotechnology coating that has better durability than anything I’ve used in more than five decades.

Unlike a polymer that forms a barrier; nanotechnology coatings are a modification of the surface chemistry on a molecular level that provides a semi- permanent easy to clean protective surface.

Differing Nanotechnologies
1. C.Quartz is an inorganic silica / silicon dioxide
2. G'zox is an organic polymer
3. G|techniq is an inorganic silicate crystallization compound
4. Nanolex is an inorganic, solvent-based formula nanostructure coating

I'm not sure if this is always true, but I've heard that before you put on the clear bra, you have to have a very clean surface, and that the installers will take off any wax you have on the paint before they put the bra on.

What I'm looking for is protection against more that just a pebble or dirt hitting the car. I've already got a light (but visible) scratch on my trunk from some inconsiderate who brushed past my car in a parking lot. Clearing bra'ing seems like a good way to protect against things like that. That scratch would have never happened if there had been clearbra protection.

But unfortunately for me, clear bras apparently yellow over time. Why has nobody invented a better way to protect paint? We've had production cars for nearly one hundred years, you think somebody would have come up with something better by now.
