Hi everyone,

I need some advice. I will be doing a fair bit of interstate driving from Melb to Sydney return & was wondering if anyone has any ideas on how I can protect my duco on those long freeway drives? I've had a look at the clear 3M contact to be stuck on the front or maybe a car bra perhaps? Am I right to say that Paint Protectant from BMW just protects from the weather/ bird droppings but not so much on stone chips etc?

Has anyone done this before? If so, could you send pics please?

Stay away from the car bra. Dust will widdle it's way under it on the long trip and the movement of the bra with the air force will scratch your paint

I hear people raving about the clear 3M stuff. Sounds like the ticket.

Me personally, i would just avoid tailing people, be especially careful on roads they have resealed and hope that some bimbo reverses into the front of you every 3 years so you get a fresh respray. :-)
