Just an FYI, a clear bra is definitely something I wouldn't do mobile. You will get way too much dust under it.

Never had that problem when I got mine done. I've actually seen more dust under clear bras that were done at shops vs the one done in my garage.

Your garage doesn't count. It's probably sealed and environmentally filtered.

LOL so not true! I actually live in an area where it's really dusty. I was actually surprised at how minimal dust was in the clear bra. You're going to get it no matter what, it's more a matter of how much of it will get trapped under the film.

I probably can remember 2-3 dust spots on my entire car and I had clear bra film EVERYWHERE on the car beyond the standard template.

Also, when I said mobile, I was thinking in the street or driveway. Definitely have it done inside a garage.

You got your car back Nate?
I JUST got it back finally. After 2 months ( the shop gave it back to me scratched and covered in black paint overspray). They ended up completely repainting the entire car so I have a 100% fresh paint job compliments of AAA.

Talk about a Bad December!

I've had two clear bras done through B&S Hacienda Auto Body, in Pleasanton on Old Santa Rita Rd. They contract the job through Kar Tunz which is right next door. It ran me about $650 (not $850 as previously mentioned). It was $850 total with the wash, wax, and clear bra. Also, they do all the clear bra installs for Pleasanton Mercedes Benz.

I also second the "don't do the clear bra mobile" thing. For me, I had the car washed and detailed by the auto body place, then they installed the clear bra.
