Clear Bra - non hand washing

Anyone, with Clear Bra installed, goes to regular car washes, or dealer washes? Any perceptible issues?

High Pressure water applied to the edges, over time, can cause damage or loosening from the car's surface.

Personally, I despise automatic and dealer washes, but most who know me think I should be seeking therapy with how **** I am with my car.

Either way, just be carefull.
Also, never use products like Bug and Tar remover on the film. I asked 3M and it's definitely NOT recommended!

Personally, I wouldn't use an auto car wash (other than occasionally touchless in the winter) and wouldn't let a dealer touch my car. So, the short answer is don't go those routes with clearbra either.

My '05 had the 3M clear on it, and I used the no touch full service car wash nearby when it was too cold, and never had any trouble with the clear film. On another Scotchgard issue, I also found out from 3M, that you could polish a scratch out with 3M Medium Cleaner Wax, worked great. Scratch didn't come from car wash BTW.
