Would You Clear Bra Your Entire Car..?

.. in order to prevent swirl marks on a darker paint color. (esp. black)?

I did the entire car...and it's so great not to have to worry about scratches or rocks ....

And we can't see it without putting the nose on!!

It's expensive, but on a 70K€ car.....it's a "must have" i believe....

um no... i did front only because...

1)this is not a supercar
2)clear bras get swirl marks too (but they are much better at bouncing off rocks without damaging paint than paint alone)

the guy that did my car told me he has a customer that owns a black Ferrari. the guy had the car color sanded and buffed to remove all the orange peel. then he had Bain clear bra the entire car - and the clear bra adds some orange peel look!!!! HAHAHAhahaaaaa!!
