Washed it on Wed night and wasn't happy with the results so last night I clayed, washed, and waxed it. It looks really good now, closest to brand new it will ever look again. So I got a clear bra quote and it will be close to $1,000 after all is said and done. I can't do it, not to disparage anyone else who made that investment, I just can't.

For $40 I can get a "custom" bra that will protect the paint as well or better then the clear bra. It completely changes the aesthetics of the car in a negative way, but is it worth it for brand new looking paint 5-10 yrs? And if she plans on driving it into the ground is it even worth it? Just wondering how others feel b/c I've never had one and I put a shit load of work into the car the last 2 nights getting it up to par and I'd like to preserve it, but at what cost?

Old school car bras destroy the paint.
