Okay some background the two cars in this post are repeat customers.

They recently got their front clips repainted by Robert at Final Touch in West New York, NJ.

When I got to the house I couldn't believe the work that they did, it was great, probably the best I've seen in a long time.

The reason for the repaint was my customers go on a lot of runs and their front end looked like salt and pepper x20 after about 5 runs last year. Now the front ends are repainted and look great.

So here I come in to remove all the over spray on the car and polish them out to perfection! The customers will not be driving the cars till the clear bra guy comes in, Nelson at Clear Films.

Okay the Ruf550 needed the following:
Wash
Swissvax Paint Rubber
Menzerna SIP
Menzerna 85RD
Swissvax Cleaner Fluid
Swissvax Concorso
Einszett Glas Polish for the window
Quick interior vacuum, Einszett Leatherpfledge, and Einszett Cockpit for the rest.

The 996TT Stage 4
Wash
Swissvax Paint Rubber
Swissvax Cleaner Fluid
Swissvax Concorso
Swissvax Autobahn on the wheels (this contains non-stick PTFE in it so it will reduce the amount of brake dust that will stick on the wheels.)
Einszett Glas Polish for the window
Quick interior vacuum, Einszett Leatherpfledge, and Einszett Cockpit for the rest.

Ruf 550

clear bra is a great fix however over time like 2 years or so I always see them get cloudy or yellow depending on the brand.

I have had them on 3 of my cars and it helps not fond of the look but it helps.

Two parts play a huge factor. The brand, most importantly, the amount of time it sits baking in the sun.

My Beast has had its clear bra for 4+ years and you still can't tell it is even there till you're about 5-10 feet away (by then, you can see the difference in the "orange peel" as the plastic has much more of that apperance). But then, my Beast is always garaged and only sitting in the sun on trips.:cheers:
