Default Clear Bra Problem

Took the Vette out yesterday to give it a good layer of wax. Noticed residue under my bra in the front and the mirrors. Looks as if condensation has gotten underneath the film. Any suggestions? Am I going to have to have it removed? It's been on for about 3 years.

From what I hear that's a common problem. After a few years the edges start to pull up or you can see the outline of the plastic. Plus the wax residue can show up on the edges. I still like a removable bra combined with splash guards. Look at what happens to the plastic headlights on many cars after a few years.

may have to. I thought there used to be vendor of clear bra in your area. here he is: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/memb...xas_venom.html

(but if it's 3M product you got, he'll probably pull it off without asking...j/k)

I have never heard of condensation getting under film. I have been in the industry going on 10 years now s oI have installed a lot of film. I am in your area so if you would like me to come by and look at it I will be happy to. Just send me a message and I will get in touch with you.

Redvette, what do you mean by platic headlights? How are you relating acrylic headlights to urethane film?
