would one of you guys post the link to wherever a guy can buy this stuff, I would love to look into it. Maybe some close up pics on your cars too? I have never seen this stuff.

Anyone try the Avery Dennison clear film as opposed to the 3M?

So with this clear bra on, what about waxing and polishing? Does it affect the shine of the bra?

OK, I looked on the Avery link that was provided above and got my answer. Use of waxes and polishes containing dyes will cause the film to discolor, primarily turning yellow, gold, or a light brown color.

Use our Pro-tect Film Polish or Ice Polish by Turtle Wax.

+1^^

Below is a picture of my car. If you look really close at the fender, you can see the leading edge of the bra.

Regarding waxing, I apply turtle wax ice after each wash. It only takes me about 10-15 minutes, but it really leaves it slick, which allows bugs and debris to just wipe off.
