Protective clear film for Front?

I remember many discussing the dealer provided film for the front end of the new TL.
My question is regarding waxing or polishing the vehicle.

When polishing, won't the polish get stuck in the grove where the film ends on the hood? AND how easy is it to polish or wax?
Not sold on this...

I have the Roadblocker Clear Bra on my NBP/Camel/Navi and so far I can tell you it is the best thing I have ever done for the car. even on the NBP, the line across the hood is hardly noticeable (a small price to pay IMO for the protection afforded) As far as wax getting stuck in the edge...you just use a soft toothbrush to remove it..no big deal. You wax the clear bra just as if it were a painted surface. The nose of my car always looks great...no chips or dings.

It was the best $500 I spent on the car. I have only had my TL for 2 weeks, but have taken a couple of direct hits on the nose from gravel. The clear bra protects the paint and keeps the front of the car looking like new. I wish I could put it on the whole car.

Yes you can take it off and through it away. The product is not reusable. But if you did remove the product it will not hurt your paint or cause the paint to fade unevenly.

You can wax the product and it is recommended to so. If you dont the bra will not stay looking good over time just like the rest of your car if you didnt wax it.



If you have any other questions please feel free to let me know.

Here's another vote for RockBlocker. That pic is my car after the install. I've since Zaino'd my car without any problems.
