And by the way, your tint looks good, can you please provide details like brand, percentage etc. Thanks once again.

Daym!!
Looks good. What did you use to wash the car? I have switched to Mothers wash and wax, with Carnuba, and it gives pretty good results. I used it to wash my Mom's White car, Pearl White to be more accurate, and you could see the shine in the paint. Of course I followed with a layer of wax too, but thats a different story.

Holy crap! I just spent the weekend cleaning and polishing... I seriously could not remember the last time I washed it! Could have been a year! 
But it looked new .. for a day anyway!
BTW... I also applied that new spray on clear bra as an experiment. Looks good so far.

How do you like the clear bra application? I considered doing the real thing and going with a clear bra for the front as freeways in los angeles have some shitty things flying up al the time. Just curious if that clear bra actually helps at all or if it's just like a glosser.

Aerospace 303 protectant. Can be used on all the plastics on your car including the headlights and plastic under the hood, below the windsheild and on your tires to gloss them up. Best UV protectant you can get. I use it for all the cars I detail.

That's the best feeling. I haven't had a chance to wash my car after 3 weeks and it's like driving a new car all over again!

I'm not sure what a 'glosser' is. It is definitely thick. I'd say it is not as tough as a 'real' clear bra but for something you can do for $25 it is not bad at all. Jury is still out on how long it will last. It definitely takes 4 days to cure. The application is a little tricky since the proper thickness and even coating is key. There is another member who also install one and our experiences are pretty much the same. The only imperfections are a few places where it ran because I touched it while it was wet. Also one place has my fingerprint... because I touched it while it was still wet... the solution... don't touch it!
I was on my 2nd clear bra on the car. The brand I had (Venture Tape) just could not hold up to the TX sun. It was painful to get it off in the places that it left adhesive. Very painful.
