If you keep a clear bra on for more than 3-4 years, you run the risk of what happened above. There are other stories of the stuff becoming very brittle and it breaks of in small 1/4" pieces instead of just pealing off.

Also keep in mind that the rock chips will damage the bra and you'll be able to see that easier than a paint chip.

If I had a collector type car, I'd clear bra and redo it every 3-4 years. For a daily driver, it's a toss up for me since it's not that much to get the bumper/hood resprayed.

Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."
