This is an interesting thread
Now what happened and why the product as used cracked and caused extreme issues to removed to this I can only speculate however I can say;
The product designed for automotive application such as that by Venture Shield is designed to be applied and remain in place for several years; the key word is several and not the life of the gal.
If properly applied over a cured painted surface it should cause no issues and when it comes time to be removed and or remove and reapply it the “only” way to do so IMO is with steam. When steamed it comes off with “no” issues.
I have used clear bra for many years with no adverse affects and the peace of mind that it affords me is substantial. I have the majority of the surfaces on my gals wrapped and in some cases have had complete body wraps; the later primarily for static displays where hands all over the gal is eminent or adverse conditions such as coastal areas where the risk of bird droppings is high; it only takes a short time for bird dropping to permanently etch the clear coat.
Now having shared this there is no doubt that how it is applied makes the difference as to whether it is moderately visible versus that which I see all too often which is horrendous.
In today’s marketplace for exotic/extreme gals folks will often ask in advance of a purchase consideration if the gal has been wrapped and if not move onto another. Certainly their nose can be repainted as the natural process of enjoying and exercising them to remove the patina however most prefer a gal to which this has not happened.
Lastly; there are wonderful products out there today that will allow one to tend to the surface condition and shine of clear bra as it IMO “needs” to be tended to different when compared to a painted surface.
