Car Care: Keeping the Bugs Off With a 3M Clear Bra
Most car owners value their cars and take great pride in keeping them looking and running great! It can sometimes be a challenge to keep our cars looking great due to lack of time or will power. And those pesky bugs always crashing into our vehicles bumper doesn't help, especially after we just wash and wax it. I don't know what it is about those bugs, but they seem attracted to clean cars. So, even though we just washed our car we know we need to wash it again to get the bugs guts off. If not you are really hurting your cars paint job. So, what can you do about those bugs and why should you bother?
First off, you should have a reason for doing something, otherwise what is the point. It is important that you get the bugs off your car as soon as possible because the longer they collect on your bumper the harder they are to get off. Also bugs leave an acid on your car which causes the paint to break down and discolor or even chip off. So, to protect your cars paint and great looks you need to get those bugs off and fast!
If your car has collected some bugs your first step is to wash your car with car soap and warm water. Be sure to use a soft cloths or a car specific cleaning clothe or sponge. A rough or wiry choice of sponge can possible scratch your cars paint, which was what you were trying to avoid in the first place. This should remove most of the bug and its remnants.
However, there may be some hard to get bugs and guts on your car. Then you can look for a specific bug removal cleaner. Just be sure to follow the direction carefully and thoroughly to protect your car and get the bugs off.
For the many of us who want to avoid this bug situation altogether, there is another preventative measure you can take. Well, you will still have to do a little bug cleaning but it will be easier and your car will be protected. That is if you decide to get a 3M clear bra for your car. Most bugs collect on your vehicles bumper. So, the 3M clear bra is a protective film that gets installed on your vehicles bumper and some of the surrounding area to protect your vehicles paint job from chips, cracks and the effects of bug juice. It is a simple process much like getting your windows tinted. The 3M clear bra is virtually invisible that way your car can look great unlike those big black leather bras of the past. It also makes it easier to clean the bugs off your car, which will save you a lot of hassle. Getting the 3M clear bra installed on your car doesn't even take a lot of time, so you won't be without your car. So, if you want to keep the bug juice out of your cars paint, the 3M clear bra is a great way to keep the bugs off and save you the time.

Rough estimate on a car paint job?
I was considering getting my 1998 Camaro painted a solid black. The body's still in great condition, very minimal to no scratches, dents, etc..I was just curious about how much a paint job may cost for that specifically, I hear a lot of varied answers. I'm also not looking to getting the engine bay painted at all, as that'd be a lot of extra work. (Not planning on selling the car. Just bought a new engine for it and I'm keeping it till it's ran it's full life. And I don't think red on the inside would look so bad with black outside anyhow.)
Also, why would a $1000 dollar paint job be so bad? I don't need it to be all glossy or anything. I just want it to last for awhile.
And I'm also not really considering Maaco at all, I heard overall they're pretty crappy..

I want to replace my lost Ray-Ban sun glasses but i cant find the model.?
This past weekend i went to the beach, boogie boarded with my sun glasses on and the typical wipeout swallows my shades. The thing is i bought them in a clearance section at Sunglass Hut, the reason they were in clearance is becuase they were custom made, Model 2140 Wayfarer style, plastic 'shimmery charcoal grey' colour I'd compare it to the colour of a cars paint job, a shimmery charcoal grey, and with black mirrored lenses, not polarized. I searched for them at the Sunglass Hut site and the official Ray Ban site and no luck :( any suggestions? Next time i know to take them off or wear them with a neck strap.
