you must never have had your front bumper pitted from so much road rash you can see if from 20 feet away
No, because I don't drive aggressively and ride people's asses. I've got 20 yer old paint on one of my cars with no road rash on the front. You'd have to be a serious jackass driver to have a front that's so trashed you could see it from 20 feet away.

maybe but do you know something the manufacturers don't? cheap Walmart stuff probably does. I have more faith in my 3M product.
That's cool, 3M makes good stuff; I know a lot about the products 3M makes, being in the chemistry/chemical engineering field with 3M's headquarters in my home city...get the hint?
RedDaemon]you are the first to mention a buffer in this thread
Right, and the OP said the body shop said he could wax it like whatever. For a lot of people, that means buffers/polishes/sealants/etc.

thats so b.s. stop talking theory!!!!!!!
Theory? Hardly, I have years of experience with cars without ****ed up front ends telling me otherwise. It's not hard not to be that douchebag Stang owner riding everyone's ass in traffic, who neglects their car. Then again, one dude said he washes/clays his car by hand only once a year so there you go.

for the past 5.5 years I have been driving back and fourth from Poughkeepsie to Utica, NY for college. I have MANY MANY hours (3hrs each way) on the NYS Thruway with my car. IT IS UNAVOIDABLE YOU WILL GET ROAD RASH.
No it isn't. And for $700+, you could just repaint the bumper on your "run of the mill GT" without some "super awesome paint job". If it's just a run of the mill GT, wouldn't it be better off to just enjoy it and then spend $700 repainting the bumper and enjoying it again?

Thats the whole reason why we put clearbras on the car
And the world was in pain before them with every car on the road having trashed noses, right?
Take a chill pill. All I said was they are a bit like sofa covers, because they are. Why stop there? Why not keep the plastic on the seats and the steering wheel? The steering wheel will turn black and the seats will get stains and hundreds of farts, so may as well put plastic on those too to keep that from happening. If you like it, fine, as for me, I'll just stay 500 meters back from people on the freeway and save the $700 and extra hassle that a clear bra brings.
It's really not hard to take care of a car. Keep it washed/waxed, and stay off people's asses.
