The front fender? No, that's a clear bra which is just starting to lift a little. I swear it is the worst clear bra job I have ever seen. Also, this car had TONS of RIDS and swirls from either terrible wash techniques or automatic car washes. Ceramiclear isn't fun....

Looks more like a clear bra to me, if you're talking about the straight line on the drivers side fender.



OP great work that paint looks real wet, I'm curious as to why you used OP instead of 106ff?
 
Polished the bra with OP and a layer of Souveran over it. Whoever installed it did a horrendous job. You can tell they let it fold over when installing it and then attempted to squeegee out the fold mark without much success. Furthermore the bra is starting to peel along the edges which leads me to believe they didn't prep well either.



I used OP instead of 106ff since that is what I had on hand at the time.



Yeah, she has the factory mats under those hideous yellowed mats but when I snapped the pics I didn't think about just the factory mats. I was tired!
