3m clear bra?
After installing the 3m clear bra has anyone noticed dirt getting under the edges of the bra? Also is there danger in damaging the paint when removing the bra after it has dried?
Thanks
Chris

Yes, I have a couple spots where dirt got under the edges. I should've been more careful to tack all edges down tight with alcohol. And to remove the bra, you just use a hairdryer to soften the adhesive and pull slowly. I recently removed the piece behind one of my headlights because I wasn't happy with the install job I did on that piece. It came off slowly with a hairdryer and left a little adhesive behind which I cleaned up with WD-40.

I don't believe you can use the clear bra on repainted surfaces. I thought I saw a post on this last month. I would call the manufacturer before you invest time and money only to pull up your new paint job.

I have the clear bra installed on my repainted hood. I had to wait 90 days for paint to cure before having it installed (shop recommended). The edges of mine are tight and no dirt under the edges. In the right light there is a line across the hood, but not that noticable. It has saved my hood from many chips.

One minor caveat - after 1 year I have noticed a just a hint of yellowing on mine. And my car is garaged at work and home. However, it is warranted to never yellow. If it gets much worse I may check out their warranty claim process...
