what do u mean fading ur paint? like its darker where ur bra is and the rest of the hood is lighter? if that is the case leave the bra off and u won't have problems, if its the other way around beats me i have no clue

no its starting to fade lighter under the bra, im thinking this is because of moisture, maybe take it off everytime it rains?

you could just buff/polish/wax a few times a year. i wax my car every other week to keep it protected. bras will fade paint, but it should be darker newer looking paint under the bra, and it takes a while to fade.

I think bra's are a bad idea unless you're going on a road trip or something. Having a bra on the car every day can't be good for the paint.

The only thing that should ever have a bra on it!

Sounds like the bra is actually scuffing the paint off. Just my $.02 worth.

i used to use a steeda bra but the moisture can get trapped in behind the bra and cause the paint to haze, if it got wet i used to take it off and let it dry before putting it back on to prevent this... after doing this quite often i got tired and left it off.
