I was wondering if anyone knew of a good leather bra that I could buy where the PDC would still work. Lemme know!
I would like the 3m clear bra, but its sorta expensive!
Thanks.

IMO the car bras work only while you can keep it real clean where it rubs agains the paint. Eventually, grit, dirt, etc. will scratch the paint...no matter how you clean you keep it...unless of course you never plan to remove it. I've tried on several cars and ended up having to have the front ends repainted. I don't like the clear bra...but it may be a better/cheaper solution in the long run.

I agree that the traditional bras will leave a mark, no matter how diligent you are with keeping it clean, etc.
Also, I doubt very much that you'll find any that allow PDC to still function.
Having said that, I think there are some cheaper alternatives to the 3M clear bra. I think JDN has one from a different vendor -- I'm sure he'll chime in soon...

I actually prefer the clear bras. They do their job but don't obstruct the appearance.
