This weekend, I spotted a mouse scurrying past my open garage door. What's the latest on deterring these guys?
The local stray cat. I have two of them that hang out around my house.....feed them some food and they deter not only mice, but snakes and roaches as well!

Ha! As it just so happens, there is a neighborhood cat that I see on camera in that exact same area every now and then. My only concern is that the coyotes will be interested in the food as well 😅
Made great progress getting the clear bra off of the front bumper. Finished that part and thought I was done. I was doing a celebratory wash and then I noticed PPF behind the front wheel arches. Doh!
I'll do that tomorrow.
The 3M wheel worked, but it made a mess as it leaves its rubber behind as a byproduct, exactly like a pencil eraser, except it's sticky. So, the effort saved is negated by the laborious cleanup afterwards. Between that and the fact that I was advised that using the eraser wheel on a plastic bumper (not a metal door, fender, or hood) may be disastrous if the wheel heats up the bumper such that it starts releasing the paint. Luckily, that didn't happen in the area that I tested.
Hang in there on the PPF. All of the dialog on Rennlist has pretty much convinced me not to spend $$$$$ on front end film. They all espouse the virtues of protection but no one talks about having to get it off.

Ceramic treatment - maybe. PPF - not for me.
PPF / clear bras are pretty good if they are removed in a timely manner when they are still elastic. I think when these cars change hands (and 911s change hands very often), people simply lose track of how long it's been on there. That's what happened with me.
It's not worth it to me. I've never had it installed on any of my cars.
Real talk, I'll happily install an old-school leather bra on 996 for road trips, if I could find one.
