Track use and clear bras
From what I've read/researched, the two main players are 3M and Venture.
Venture seems to be an easier DIY and less orange peel, but doesn't have the same construction and thus durability of the 3M. It doesn't seem to be able to take a scrubbing/polishing like 3M can. In short, the 3M seems better in durability but Venture better in looks.
So my Q...for those who go on the track, esp a street/track car, has Venture been an issue in cleaning off post track, and durability from the track events?
Thanks,

Thanks. So the rubber bits and skid marks that I need Bug & Tar remover to get off now...no problem? Sorry to belabor the point...just want to understand what I'm getting into.
Do you follow closely on the DE? Just making sure I'm not going to regret going VEnture...

We've had Armourglove on both of our cars for 5 years or so and they both still look great.
Both cars have seen quite a bit of action during that time. The pieces were sent to us pre-cut so application was easier.

I have some other brand, can't think of it, but they are all probably pretty much the same. The tire skids are hard to get off with Bug & Tar, but I found that Adam's Revive Pre-Wax Polish takes it off like magic.

I am doing some bodywork for a respray and peeled off the clearbra from the fenders and bumper. It was pretty tough to remove and pulled up the paint in places where there had been impact from small rocks. It also left a thick nasty adhesive that was damn near impossible to remove, we tried several different chemicals. In the end we had to sand everything down. I don't know which brand clearbra it was.
