clear bra recall???
I had an appointment last week to have a complete front end clear bra with headlights installed. The shop called me back and said 3M called them and said they were having trouble with the bumper part of the bra shrinking and turning yellow. He told me that they should have the new bras out in 2-3 wekks and would call me back. Any one had any shrinking bra problems??? (ha ha keep it clean).

Avery-Dennison has a new product out to compete with the 3M brand. I have seen it, it looks good. They claim it stays clearer and doesnt shrink as much. Just ask when you buy your kit, the resellers should know who manufacturers the film.

cause of shrinking
if you stretch the film too much and then stick it down(most CURVE areas, or if piece is too short and you make it fit) the film will gradually shrink due to the tension and insufficient alcohol to make to stick properly. As for yellowing, it WILL yellow on a white car due to the fusing of the road grease and grime onto the film. It creates a light layer yellowing that's irremovable.

if you notice alot of clear plastic yellow over time this is because of the chemical properties changing when it is exposed to UV rays. these things will yellow, it's just a matter of time. but i definately wouldn't gripe if it took 5 yrz to turn yellow.

i remembered reading that someone removed the clear bra off his car after it was installed for a year just because he was curious as to what would happen, turns out it came off perfectly and there was not damage from it.
