Car Forum / Subaru Cars / June 2004Invisilbe Bra Revisited (MPS)
Last fall there was a thread about the invisible bra, it is a clear plastic that you put on your car and is not noticeible more than a few feet away. I think it is made by 3M. Anyway, i was looking for some input from anyone that has one. Now that you've had it awhile, how is it holding up? How is it with wiping bugs off? Any other input would be appreciated. mike > Last fall there was a thread about the invisible bra, it is a clear > plastic that you put on your car and is not noticeible more than a few [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Any other input would be appreciated. A co-worker has this on his Jetta. It appears to be holding up fairly well. You can't really notice it until you are within about 6 feet of the car. They hold up well and if you keep the edge clean of wax and dirt you'll hardly notice it's there. Since it 'glued' to the paint (like tint on a window, easily removable without damage) you don't have the problem with convential bras where dirt and debris can get lodged underneath it. > Last fall there was a thread about the invisible bra, it is a clear > plastic that you put on your car and is not noticeible more than a few [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > mike Thanks for the replies. If you could, FuzzyLogic, Ask your co-worker how they are with bug removal. I travel up to michigan alot, to mountain bike, and the front of my car is alway coated with bugs afterwards. Just wondering if bug removal was any easier with this on? I know it will protect the paint from flying debris, but i was also conserned about bugs. Yeah, Null, that is what i liked most about it. it protected the paint and didn't act like sandpaper, as most bras do. Thanks.

He recently got hit with a fairly large rock that appears to have torn the film but the paint is fine. It's been on the car for 5 years now. > I know it will protect the paint from flying debris, but i was also > conserned about bugs.

So we protect the paint for the next owner and miss enjoying the look of the car while we own it. I realize that this is different for a collector, but for a utility car like a Subaru? Is this plastic truly clear or can the passerby see that "something" has been applied? Mark > > Thanks for the replies. If you could, FuzzyLogic, Ask your co-worker > > how they are with bug removal.

It keeps chips/small dents away but paint is not protected as far as I am concerned. Bra is not for me. I use deflector.(if wagon, front and rear) Tony > The problem that I have with all bras is this. While they protect the > paint, they are ugly.

Mark It's unnoticable until you are about 6 feet from the car at which point you can see a fine line where the film ends.
