Car Bra?

I'm thinking of getting a car bra for my 208 CLK55. I would only put it on for long highway trips to avoid rock dings and salt all over the front of my car in the winter.

Has anyone used a car bra, if so can you recommend a good one?

Thanks

Thanks, I was looking at this one, have you used it? Maybe I'm putting too much thought into something as simple as a car bra, but I'm wondering if there's any reason for concern about the bra itself adversly affecting the paint on the car etc.

if it is installed correctly and pulled very tight there should be no issue. most of the wear you see from covers is from incorrect instalation or incorrect cover being installed.

Don't use it in wet conditions. If it does get wet do not allow it to dry while on the car. Do not put it on a dirty car. Other than that, they do a fine job. Too bad speed lingerie, www.speedlingerie.com , doesn't make one for the W208.

I installed one of the water based adhesive skins. Problem free.
Recommend you do it in warm weather--easier to stretch during installation.
