In the face of my offer to allow him to pull the current stuff away and install new, he suggested we wait and keep and eye on the coating. That was this Spring and it still looks good. I had mine done right at 3 yrs ago, so he thinks mine might be OK.

That was before bug-a-palooza across the states of Montana, Wyoming, and South Dakota. I knew I should have bought and installed that big black bra before I left.

I would have went car-show status and just bought a few rolls of Green 3M painters tape for the bugs LOL

At 3 yrs you're ok, you can polish the bra with a very mild polish if needed. PlastX is great for it.
