[Zaggeron]

I really don't see the allure to clear-bras. I haven't seen one yet that's more than a few weeks old that doesn't have that tell-tale line on the hood and fenders where gunk and wax build up. I'd rather drive a reasonable distance behind folk and avoid chips all together.

People complained about Nissan's soft paint, but my 2010 Z has around 11k miles on it and only a couple of pinhole sized rock chips on the hood. The worst part of the car is the front fascia where it has a factory installed clear-bra like covering. I've got a rock gouge there that would be easily repairable if it were just painted, but as it stands cannot be fixed shy of stripping the clear plastic coating.

In general, I'd rather live with a few rock chips that can be touched up and buffed out rather than dealing with the hassle and expense of a clear-bra.
