Relax and enjoy the trip. The last thing you want to do is get paranoid. The worst that could happen is a chip. Hate to tell you, but you'll be getting plenty of them as time goes on. Just wait until you get home and wash it yourself. Clay the front end if need be.

I would recommend you washing the car before putting on the bra. When taking it off, you might scratch the underside of the fender where the bra clamps are, but after washing it, you won't see them anymore.

one thing no one has mentioned is that you cant use a leather bra on aftermarket bumpers. so its either tape or clearbra.

i use painters tape driving on long distances as well. Its a quite cheap and effective way to help prevent rock chips and bugs.

NO BRA!! you are doing more damage with the leather bra than the bugs would.

Spend a good 2 hours waxing and polishing the front of your car until silky smooth. I promise you that there won't be any bugs on your car when you arrive. I spent 3 hours in my car one time and drove 9 hours from jersey to ohio averaging 100, 1 mosquito was on my bumper when I arrived.
