3m Clear Bra

Looking for an installer in or around the Pittsburgh area. Had a guy do a great job on the Mini a few years back (Bruce Sutton) but he no longer has working phones or websites.

Thanks

Does anyone know what the ballpark figure usually is? Are you supposed to wax the bra?

It depends on your area and how good the installer's reputation is. I paid around $900 in CA. Some people have paid like $300-400 in other places. I was comfortable paying more because I got a lifetime warranty, which most mobile installers will not offer.

You treat it like the rest of the paint, basically, except for the edges - you need to be careful around them to not jam product up into them.

Maybe try your local club pages and they can refer you to someone that's local?
