Default Bra question
How many here keep their bra on all the time or just on cruises or long trips? I only have mine on when we go on our cruises or when I drive on the freeways. It has saved me a few times.

I use mine quite offten in the winter because of the sand on the roads here. Always on long trips.

Just curious but arent you worried about sand getting between the car and the bra and scratching. I dont have one so Im not sure if thats even possible.

Bras should be used for longer trips but should come off between them. Moisture or dust or whatever betweeen the bra and the paint will cause unusual wear to the paint. And definately wash the bra regularly. Ask your wife how often.

Hasn't been a prob yet, I keep a good coat of wax and remove the bra once a week when I wash the car.

I usually put on my bra for long trips, other than that I go braless.

I will be radical and say I leave it on most of the time and only take it off when:

1. The car gets overly dusty/dirty.
2. When the car gets wet.
3. When it is time to wash or wax the car.

Why hide the beauty of your car behind a bra ALLTHE TIME?
No one has ever said, 'that bra really MAKES your car'!

Mine is on all the time and I've never found any damage caused by the use of it. Common sense should prevail when using one...
