What can I do to make my bra shine?

Cuz I want shiney *****!! J/K

I have a bra on my car and it's all dull. It's not dried out and crackily, just dull. I've seen newer cars with bra's and they look oiled and wet. What can I use that won't harm the fabric or grease off onto my hood?

I just use Armor-All on mine, it workd very well. I usually spray some on let it soak for a few minutes, then I spray it on again...and wipe it. It always worked good for me and I never hasd any problems.

Same suggestion as above. You'll just have to keep doing it over, thats all. Try some tire shine too, any brand of your choice. Just be careful as to how much you put onto it as it might run onto the paint of the car while you are driving in the rain. I used Armor-all on mine when I had one.

I use Black Magic interior protectant on mine, I apply it off the car tho, to avoid overspray on the paint. Does great for a shiny finish.

Do you drive on the freeway a lot or drive long distances? Just curious why you'd want a bra on there. Makes your paint fade at different rates. :shrug:

Some people don't mind a chalky-white-faded front bumper on their black cars, but I'm not most people.

Try telling that to people in the other bra thread from a few weeks ago where they said that their bras did nothing to their paint over time. I know I had problems with mine. I guess it is from case to case, brand to brand

Dude, did you ever actually do anything with that? Use it for road trip yet? (well not now that your car is down but when it was up?)
