Title: Bonnet bra
Post by: Reasty on 09 August 2009, 13:43

Hey guys,I've just put my new autobra on and it's looks awesome! and yeh it's the one with the toblerones on it,my question is in the instructions it says the bra should not be left on the car for longer than seven days?,The car is not a daily so spends most of the time in the garage is there any reason why you should take it off or is it ok to just leave it on? maybe mr cunnyfunt could answer this one? do you take yours off or not?

moisture can collect underneath them if you leave them on too long.
This can lead to premature rusting on the front edge of the bonnet.

i leave mine on for weeks on end  :grin:

But,

1, its VERY well polished underneath.

2, it comes off evry few weeks to get dried out properly

3, is re waxed under it

4,  the car isnt a daily and lives in a garage when not in you .

 :wink:

Cool cheers fellas,I did cake the wax on before I fitted it and I also treated the bra with leather conditioner and like yours mr cunnyfunt it's not a daily just a toy so I'll just keep an eye on it  :smiley:
thanks again.
