Mask/Bra front end protection. What you using?
New owner of 2013 Fit here. Was wondering what folks are using for front end protection. Anyone have experience with clear bras? Do you generally cover just front bumper and a few inches of the hood or do the whole hood? Feedback appreciated! Thanks

I have experience with 3M Scotchguard and Xpel Ultimate, the latter is what I'm currently using. Between the two I like the Xpel better. A lot more invisible on the car. The material itself is super smooth, and the edges are practically non existant unless your standing right next to the car looking for them, plus it's a "self-healing" material, which means any scratches or dings in the material will vanish after about 30 minutes or so. It also comes with a 10 year warranty.
Not saying that the 3M Scotchguard is a bad product, far from, actually. The 3M saved my paint a number of times on some of my older vehicles. The edges were more noticable, however, and the material itself had a slight "orange-peel" texture to it. It came with a 3 or 4 year warranty I believe.
You won't go wrong with either, but I prefer Xpel Ultimate for the reasons I stated above.
