Suggestions?
I have the 3M bra on my 08. Today on my way to church I might add I noticed several fine scratches on the front of the car. Looked as if some kinda of course material was used to dry the vehicle but since I'm the only one that washes it that didn't happen.
Anyway is there any type of wax or filler that can be used to get rid of these scratches? I would appreciate any help as it really doesn't look that bad but it's bothering the Hell out of me and I'm quite **** about my Vette.

The 3M film is some what polishable. It's not as easy as clear coat or paint to polish but minor scratches can be buffed out (carefully, it’s less tolerable to heat build up than paint.)
If you have no experience working with a power polisher and cutting compound than find a reputable detail shop. Depending how bad the scratches are they can either eliminate them or at least make them look a little less noticeable

When you say 3M bra I assume you mean a clear bra. If that is the case there are two products that you can use to protect and help get fine scratches out. The first is a must for protection and cleaning it is called Plexus. The second will help with the scratches and it is called Novus. I used these on my clear bra on my Viper and it looked like glass. Do an Internet search and you will find these. If it is not a clear bra, sell it or throw it away if you don't want scratches. Good luck.
