I got mines done at 60 miles. Pick up the car at 8:30 pm on Friday. Francisco did the whole hood, whole fenders, all the lights, mirrors and my bumper. Francisco take his work very serious and very professional. I"ll definately refer my friends and family to him.

Kevin:

How long u stayed at aerotech after i left? i'm glad you listened to me and got your whole hood done. Hey can you post the pictures you took for my car? I didnt bring a camera.

lol seems like you guys are too excited i actually think white and silver are better colors on clear bra already if you don't get full coverage, especially silver. on our white sc430 we only had half hood and it wasn't bad at all.

but of course nothing beats full hood coverage. just a little warning, guys. don't park close to trees or anything. tiny bit of those tree saps or pollen, they will eat into the clear bra in no time (less than 8 hours and that's all it takes). i already have several marks on my ls460l and gs350. they are permanent

Wow...deja vu....



LXOGOOD and I introduced Club Lexus to Aeroshield (back in the day when they were at El Monte Airport) now Aerotect. They are first class, stand up clear bra business. They are very honest, humble and stand behind the quality of their work. You can't get that anywhere else.

I agree with Ryan. Aerotect has done clear bra on all my cars and i never had any problems or issues. Price is unbeatable too

Another content Venture Shield (and Aero Tect) customer here. It's amazing how many 3GSs Francisco has done in the past few weeks. But some of you guys are a lil' OCD, I had it done with less than 200 miles on the clock and I thought I was being **** . . .

the dust that gets trapped in the edge of the clearbra, how do you clean those?

in short, no way to clean. usually that means the very edge of the clear bra wasn't sticking well so dust got trapped. best way is to cut out that little portion along the edge.

and make sure every time you wax, don't come close to those areas

lol, take it easy. it happens. and it's hard for any installer to detect it during installation coz' everything is clean.

next time you are in town, you can always go back to aerotect and ask francisco to quickly trim those extra pieces lightly to take them out

but still though, NEVER wax close to the edges of the clear bra, you might get residual (unless you use wax with white residual, you will probably never notice anything)

I learned this from Rominl, tape up the clear bra edges when you're waxing with painters tape or some masking tape to reduce chances of build up along the edges.
