I thought so but I am not sure if it was a spotty job or not as like the bra didnt cover all the white. Is it suppose to cover the white part?

If you have a lease don't waste money on a clear bra, enjoy the car, why turn in a prestine car? It's been bothering me but what you going to do its going to happen, I got the touch up paint at my local Lexus dealer for free one is a base coat and one is a top coat for UW, asked what I owe and they said nothing! Great service

I feel your pain, because I'm exactly like you in this aspect. I visually check all panels everyday after I get home.

That's right. There's nothing wrong with taking good care of your car and keeping it clean. You know they turn their heads when you drive by.

Spring time a good time to touch up the rock chips? Assuming warmer temps for the paint to cure?

A couple of weeks ago while driving on the highway a truck kicked up a rock that hit my windshield. At first I couldn't even see where it had hit but by the next day there was a small (2") crack. With the cold temperatures and constant thawing and refreezing that crack has now spread the full length of the glass. I need a new windshield which is going to cost me around $880 (Canadian Dollars). Bites!
