Re: stone chip on clear bra ?

Not sure that there is any way to do this. This seems to be what the bra is designed to do--protect the surface below it. IOW, think of what the area might look like without the bra. Now if it's a "smudge" or some sort of marring, you can try something like PlastiX to polish it a bit.

I would try Plexus plastic polish. Works great for me unless its pretty bad. My installer has a lifetime guarantee on their products so anytime there's a chip/scratch/damage, that portion would be replaced. You should check to see if yours does too.

3M glaze works really well

Re: stone chip on clear bra ?

Interesting note on replacing damaged sections of the bra. I got a nasty scratch very low on the RF portion of the front "bumper". Fortunately, once the clear bra in that area was removed, there was hardly any visible damage to the car. However, not sure how you could match a removed piece without it showing. Have you had this happen and had it replaced?

Just thought of this (must be the hangover) but maybe a little clearcoat if you have it as filler. Then use the specialized vinyl polish to flatten and polish it? Just something to think about and maybe try. Clear nailpolish maybe? It has a small percentage of acetone in it though; make sure it's contact with actual paint is limited.

Just use a little touch up paint on it. That way your eye isn't drawn towards it. I've found any of the cleaner wax type polishes only dull the 3M. The material is too soft for anything with a light abrasive IMO.

Check with the installer. Depending on the type of film used, they may be able to gently heat the spot and "flow" the defect away completely.
