Clear bra for front roof area

I'm going to link to this thread, because someone else started it but I think it would go over well here.

Do you guys have an issue with this area? I always feel like the paint here feels and looks like crap. It seems to CONSTANTLY need a good clay/polish.

I have had a few chips there, and I've heard some really scary sounding rocks hit up there, but never result in much damage and easily repaired with touch up paint. Perhaps because only the bigger rocks get up there, which tend to leave larger chips, which are easier to touch up. Also if you have a contrasting roof it has twice as much paint there to begin with.

i have no issues in that area, but i as posted in that thread, any
clearbra shop can make you a custom bra. i believe www.griotsgarage.com
has clear bra strips that you can install yourself.

Our PW MC took a rock in that area when it was only about a month old. Left a white nick in the black paint about a quarter inch long.

Knocking on wood... no damage to that area on the CR MC yet. With the help of the clearbra, the only damage I have on Bergey is a tiny piece of bonnet stripe taken out by a stone... maybe the size of a pinhead. Still, enough to consider new bonnet stripes. Right, Ken ??

if you can detect it, it is time to replace.
