What if you used a glass squeegee? Seems like since it is a flat surface with a divot, using one would make it much simpler/easier.


They had a plastic one on their site for a couple bucks, I ordered it and tried it out but i felt like using my finger in the glove was working better. Some of the posts I've seen recommended it like you did.... but it wasn't working good for me, maybe my squeegee skills just aren't up to par

Very nice results.

With Subaru's and their notoriously thin paint I will probably be using this or something similar in the future.


is it an almost new car? Lots of people on the corvette forum swear by the 3M clear bra's. Its too late for my baby though. If a brand new vette is ever in my budget I would definitely get one put on

Yeah its a 2013. I have the 3m clear bra on most of the key wear spots but I don't have a full wrap.

an update on how it looks in the sun. It looks even better than in the shade. When its waxed and in the sun you can't tell anything is up. I'm off work on Sundays/Mondays, so next "weekend" I'm going to go over the car and look for any other chips and do them too, then go over the car doing the whole clay bar thing, then give it a really nice wax. It should really blend them in and hopefully look as close to showroom new as I can. And of course I promise lots of pics in this thread

If I could go back in time 5 years to meet the original owner, I would make them wrap it
