The clear bra that I had put on the car 12 years ago had started to really look bad.. so my wife and I spent all 3 days this weekend removing the clear bra, cleaning the adhesive left behind, claying and waxing the car. Miserable process... and would have taken twice as long I had to do it again.

The clear bra served me well for the first ~8 years, but, in retrospect... better to do resprays as the car starts to look chipped up. This was WAY too much work to remove.



On the plus side, the car looks awesome again...

... and by the time we were done tonight, it was too dark to take pictures.

Mid project, after clear bra and adhesive removed, but before clay or wax:



^and according to that picture, there's a monster living in my fender :bugeye:
