Clear Bra in Kentucky

I realize that this is a shot in the dark, but...

Can anyone recommend a shop to have a clear bra applied in the Louisville, KY/Southern IN area?

It seems to me that the skill of the applicator is critically important with the quality of the clear bra, so I don't want to go to just anyone.

Many Thanks!

Hey Juano11... go back to the regional page... on the forum, KY is listed in the 'USA - Southeast' regional page. Might get a better response there!

Good luck.

Just want to suggest you use nothing other than a 3M product regardless of who applies. I can attest from multiple BMW applications. Many other products have proven to yellow over time, especially if you have to wash frequently.

There's a long thread on this... do a search. A lot of varying opinions.

I do believe you, just stating the beauty of the forum is vetting different opinions.

Check out: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=182830 "Clear Bra Installation amd Maintenance".

It discusses 3M Scotchgard PPF, 3M ClearMask, Venture Shield Ultra, and this newer stuff Xpel Technologies PPF (apparently used for the leading edge of helicopter rotors). Take a look at the thread, would love to know your thoughts as my car will be here in a month and I'll be doing clear bra and tint. Thanks, Smokinjoe64

I will not install 3M... there are much better products out there such as VentureSheild and ClearMask AR. 3M has entirely too much orange peel in it and looks terrible on a car.
