Masks (bras) and Car Washes

Hi,

Just got an Si recently and decided to get a full nose mask to help preserve the front.

I've never used a mask before and was wondering if it also needs to be washed/cleaned from time to time.

Any advice greatly appreciated...

Just to let you know dirt will get under it and the paint on the hood that is not cover will fad over time and you see a difference when you look at it with the bra off in the future.

3m has some stuff you get professionaly applied to your car, its clear- a film that protects aginst fly up road debris. Its invisible, so it still allows the sun to come throgh and fade your paint at the same rate.

Much better solution then a bra, but a little more expensive from what I remember. My buddy is a professional detailer and he recomends it- and if you detail at all, you can still apply products on the top of it too!

Enjoy

most definitely better than a bra. there's a few places around here that do it, and it IS kinda pricey but really it'd be worth it in my opinion. bra's are ugly as sin.
