Hi Ed,
When I got my van the worst paint was on the nose. After having it painted I try to remember to use the bra on trips. wheels on cars ahead of us toss up all kinds of things.
I try to remember to remove when not traveling. A friend left his on and it ruined the paint with trapped moisture.
At a event last year I touched one on a bay window that was growing moss. we suspected the bra was the only thing left of the front sheet metal.
