Bras... What do you use???
I'm taking a "road trip" in two weeks.....
I'll be driving to Florida and I'm thinking about how "fooked up" my nose piece is going to be with all the June bugs and Skeeters between here and there.....
I'm thinking of purchasing a front bra system and I'm leaning towards a color matched Colgan.....
What do you guys use / recommend / or have now? Are there any alternatives to using a bra?
Spray on/Wash off clear protectant?
Five coats of NXT wax? Or use Zaino???
Any input is greatly appreciated.....

I have Speed Lingerie. I have used it about 5 times. It works good but basically rips every time I use it. I have sent it back so many times for repair I can't count. Don' waste your money on their product. I tried a Colgen on my BMW, never got out of the driveway. I couldn't open the hood once shut and ended up breaking the hood release cable. That went back too. I would look at the nylon slip on/slip off bra if I were to do it again.

I use the Speed Lingerie bra on long trips only. color matching and no flapping on the body to rub the paint.
They are tight and hard to install when cold. sit it in the sun before you install and it stretches a little.
The GM bra always gets good reviews and it is less expensive.

Best bang for the buck, and it fits nice too.
2nd choice is the Colgan bra combined with the mirror bra. Also fits nice, but costs a little more.

I use the C5reations.com nylon bra. It is very easy to install and remove. It's extremely compact when off, about the size of a pair of sweat socks rolled up. They also have matching mirror covers. They come in several covers to match your car's paint. They do not scratch your paint and you can wash them in your washing machine to clean them. It takes me about a minute to put mine on, after the initial installation, half the time to remove.
