front end cover upkeep
Just bought a LeBra from DGPMinistry, here on BC, and I am needing to know how to keep it looking good and the paint underneath it.....

Take it off when you wash/wax the car. Mine had a bra a long time ago, and that is what my dad did, and there is no difference in the paint where the bra was, and wasn't. It sucks all around .

I use either Mothers or Armorall on mine, gives that nice black shine

Mine specifically says if you treat it with anything, it won't breathe.
I wash mine on the gentle cycle with mild detergent 3 or 4 times a year. Double wax on the hood, and you'll be fine. I do that quite often. I've left mine on all winter and had no problems.

What brand is yours? You don't want to clog the pores. The moisture won't be able to evaporate from underneath that way, unless you never put it on in those circumstances. Then wipe away.

hmm, i had mine on my Bonneville for 6 months once, i often armoralled it, never had any issues, but I do understand there concern for breathability as constant trapped moisture on the paint will defintally do some damage.
