Scratches in clear bra help!

[PDT447]

Hi gang,

Any one have any tips on how to cover up the small spider web scratches in a 3M clear bra? My car is almost scratch free except the clear bra. I replaced it once cause it was spiderwebbed but I cant affor to drop $100 every spring. Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

Boy, I feel your pain! I`m in the same boat...



So far I`ve tried Megs Plastix with no ressults.



Next will be Renova product.



I also have light scratches from something that hit it and one from using the wrong MF towel rubbing too hard.



I`ve got the film all over: front bumper/air-dam, hood, headlights, fender wings, rocker panels, side mirrors and door cups.



I`ll update once weather changes... DAMN SNOW!



Regards,



Deanski

Has anyone tried the Novus polishes on this 3m scotchcal material? Regarding them, I`m thinking to try them using a PC and some 4" pads

To protect the clear bra, why not keep a vinyl one over it?

I could swear I read a post somewhere here about someone who found that Novus #2 scratched his clear bra, and that the 3m plastic polish worked better. However, I just spent about 15 minutes searching on all varieties of keywords and can`t find it.



So, take it with a grain salt, but something to consider.

I think this is it, the seventh thread down:

I would be interested in hearing more about the 3m plastic polish

Yup, that was it. I thought I searched for novus and clear bra which would have found it, but i must not have, or I missed it. I guess i need to brush up on my searching skills. :o



Anyway, it`s just one opinion, no one backed it up or refuted it, so I don`t know if it was really the fault of the novus 2, the technique, or what. I haven`t tried either. I`m about to get a clear bra and was searching around on care for it when I found that thread.



If you try the novus or the 3m polish with the pc on your clear bra, let us know what happens.



Thanks!

:o :o Took me about 20 minutes to find it. I don`t have a clear bra but I do have the same material on my lights. If needed Ill give Novus 2 a shot but I wonder if the 3m or other plastic polishes are "midway" in terms of aggression between Novus #2 and just the liquid #1 and that using them just might do the trick. Uh oh, I see a monster plastic polish collection coming up on the horizon :D j/k
