    3M Paint Defender. Liquid Clear Bra?

    Also. Been talking to a 3m customer service about some texture on it after it dried. For winter and low temps it may take up to 2-4 days to cure. Less when it is hot. When I did my hood it cured hard in 24 hours but that was in the summer. This time around I let it sit for 24 and went out and...

    3M Paint Defender. Liquid Clear Bra?

    for the rear bumper 1 can should be enough. i don't do my rear, just the hood, bumper and the side mirrors. the rear bumper is about the size of the front so 1 is plenty. your process sounds good, not sure if you will get 7 coats on but i would say more than 5 is good and you should get that...

    First Time Autocrossing!

    Good. Tip. Every little bit helps. Also take EVERYTHING that is not necessary out of your car. Spare tires. Jack. Anything u haul around. Removing weight that way is free!

    I recommend the 24mm and I can say it's the best mod beside the summer tires for handling.
