Washed my wife's Mini last weekend. It only has 10K miles. The Clearbra has completely saved the front end, no rockchips where it is. The problem is that the buggers find their way around the edges of the clearbra and just over the leading edge on the hood. I had 4 chips to touch up.

Is there any reason not to have this stuff installed over every freaking inch of paint on the front of the car? Totally cover the hood, up to the wipers, cover the front fenders?

 

Someone in our AtlantaMINIs group did that and is very pleased with it.

 

I see a new product offering on the horizon - The MINI condom!
Totally wrap your MINI in a prophylactic sheet of protective plastic.
I like it, plus no annoying lines to deal with.
Rock chips are my true obsession at this point. I have had them from the top of the bonnet to the top of the windscreen and they drive me nuts.

 

You can clearbra or wrap the entire car. All it costs is $$.

 

Heh, Heh.... Check out this thread

 

You can do the entire bonnet without seams, as long as your installer has rolls of film that are wide enough. I think the bonnet is something like 40" or 41" from front-to-back, so the film would need to be at least that wide.
