The first major damage occurred to my Z tonight. We have one of those 1 piece wooden garage doors and after backing my car out of the garage to get into the rafters, she closed the garage door on my hood.

My clear bra took the entire blow. No paint damage and only minor scuffing to the bra. Even though no one would notice this, I'm **** enough to get the piece changed out, but first I'm gonna give it a few days to see if the scuff marks fade. Any ideas how to accomplish this?

 

LIGHT wet sanding, polish, polish, polish

and zaino

IMO - you don't need a new bra

 

agree

 

Possibly take some rubbing compound and buff it out? or maybe even wax? I would try that before you start wet sand it.

 

Probably worth checking with clear bra installers/manufacturer (3M bra?) to see what they recommend and to check that none of intended products will chemically attack the bra. Then...

Wax/polish if that doesn't work
Glass polish if that doesn't work
Metal polish if that doesn't work
T-Cut/Rubbing compound if that doesn't work

etc

p.s. I don't have a clear bra, I'm just going by approach I've used on other plastics/paint finishes.

 

Hey, how much did it cost you to get the clear bra installed and all that? Are there any recommended shops in SO cal?

I recommend trying Vinyl Polish ( the stuff that is used for rear covertible windows).
Polish the hell out of it. don`t know but it might work.
